Unexpected Cardiac Computed Tomography Findings in Patients With Postoperative Myocardial Injury.

CONCLUSIONS: In patients without a history of cardiac disease, PMI after noncardiac surgery was associated with CAD. In addition, a clinically silent pulmonary embolism was found in one-third of patients with PMI. This urges further research to improve clinical workup using imaging and may have important clinical implications.
