Postoperative Hypotension and Myocardial Injury: Comment

We have read with great interest the observational cohort study “Postoperative Hypotension after Noncardiac Surgery and the Association with Myocardial Injury,” by Liem et al.¹  In this study the authors examined postoperative hypotension after noncardiac surgery as a risk factor for myocardial injury by defining multiple mean arterial pressure (MAP) thresholds and different characterizations of blood pressure exposures. We commend the authors for further emphasizing the association between postoperative hypotension and myocardial injury and stressing the potential benefit of postoperative continuous blood pressure monitoring. May we ask the authors to provide some additional details that will help address some concerns and will better put their findings into clinical perspective? First, the secondary outcome of 30-day all-cause mortality was not compared between patients with versus patients without myocardial injury. May we kindly ask the authors to provide...
