The Optimal Timing for Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction to Safely Undergo Elective Non-Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Patients with a history of AMI within 12 months had a higher risk of complications and mortality after non-cardiac surgery and the risk of postoperative 30-day mortality was highest within 1 month after prior AMI and significantly decreased at the 1-year mark, nearing a return to baseline at 3 years.
