Endothelial Dysfunction During Non-cardiac Surgery and Major Clinical Events
Endothelial dysfunction is a cardiovascular disease hallmark. After non-cardiac surgery, cardiovascular events correlate with surgical outcomes. Understanding the role of endothelial function in these events is crucial.
This research aims to study endothelial function and its association with cardiovascular events.
