Description
Todd Liu and co-authors measure hidden heart injury after cancer surgery that does not involve the heart, in a study from 2025. Such injury, spotted through a blood protein called troponin, raises the risk of death after surgery. A newer, more sensitive test may find more cases than the older test.
The cohort held more than four thousand cancer surgery patients. Injury rates were about twice as high with the sensitive test as with the older one. The combined rate was close to one in ten patients. Injury found by the sensitive test linked to higher odds of death within thirty days. Links to longer stays and later death were also studied. The work helps teams plan heart checks around cancer surgery.
