Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 4614 0
Peri-operative cardiovascular event (CVE) defined by a composite endpoint of peri-operative myocardial infarction (PMI) either ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI); stroke; and/or cardiac death. It is anticipated that almost all PMIs will be of the NSTEMI type.
