Colchicine Prevents Myocardial Injury After Non-Cardiac Surgery Pilot Study

Summary

Perioperative Myocardial Infarction (PMI) is a major contributor to perioperative mortality and morbidity with overall incidence of 5-16%. It is associated with increased 30-day mortality of 11.6% vs 2.2% of patients without PMI in non-cardiac surgical patients. However, its recognition and diagnosis remains challenging as the typical symptoms and findings of ischemic MI may be masked by post-operative changes and pain management. In this study, the investigators hope to determine if colchicine decreases the incidence of MINS in high risk surgical patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery and optimally establish colchicine as a viable therapy to improve perioperative cardiovascular outcome in those patients.
