Recommendation

24. We recommend obtaining daily troponin measurements for 48-72 hours after noncardiac surgery in patients with a baseline risk > 5% for cardiovascular death or nonfatal myocardial infarction at 30 days after surgery (ie, patients with an elevated NTproBNP/BNP measurement before surgery or, if there is no NT-proBNP/BNP measurement before surgery, in those who have an RCRI score ≥1, age 45-64 years with significant cardiovascular disease, or age 65 years or older) (Strong Recommendation; Moderate-Quality Evidence).
