About this trial
The goal of this pilot study is to assess enrollment feasibility of a randomized trial of direct oral anticoagulant and high-intensity statin therapy versus usual care in patients with Myocardial Injury after Noncardiac Surgery (MINS). The primary aims of this study are to assess feasibility, study drug adherence, and optimize study design (entry criteria, study endpoints, sample size calculation, site selection) and recruitment strategies for the future multicenter randomized clinical trial studying biomarker-based care in post-operative patients at elevated cardiovascular (CV) risk.
