Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies indicated that the prognosis of patients with gastrointestinal tumors is frequently influenced by its complications, notably myocardial injury. The main object is to investigate the occurrence and risk factors of myocardial injury in patients with gastrointestinal tumor. METHODS 1126 patients who received gastrointestinal tumor related surgery from May 2018 to June 2020 in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were retrospectively collected and divided into the non-myocardial injury group and the myocardial injury group (high-sensitive cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) ≥ 0.028 ng/ml). The occurrence and risk factors of myocardial injury in patients with gastrointestinal tumor are analyzed. The influence of myocardial injury on the ICU detention time in gastrointestinal tumor patients is also studied. RESULTS In total, 78 (6.93%) patients developed myocardial injuries. Compared with patients in the non-myocardial injury group, patients in the myocardial injury group have a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (including advanced age and higher smoking ratio), a higher prevalence of comorbidities (such as previous coronary artery disease, hypertension, atrium fibrillation and diabetes), and a higher rate of premedication (such as anticoagulation, β-blocker, Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/Angiotensin II receptor blocker, and diuretic) (all with P-value < 0.05). In addition, patients in the myocardial injury group also presented with a higher revised cardiac risk index (Lee index), higher neutrophil granulocyte ratio, lower hemoglobin, and higher likelihood of impaired cardiac structure and function (all with P-value < 0.05). There was a trend of statistical significance in the ICU detention time between the myocardial injury group and the non-myocardial injury group (1[1,3] vs. 2[1,10], P = 0.064). In this study, there were 7 patients presented with clinical symptoms in the myocardial injury group (chest discomfort in 4 cases, non-compressive precordial chest pain in 1 case, dyspnea in 2 cases). In the multivariate analysis, advanced age, increased Lee index score, increased neutrophil granulocyte ratio, decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), increased interventricular septum were independent risk factors for myocardial injury. CONCLUSION In conclusion, advanced age, increased Lee index, increased neutrophil granulocyte ratio, decreased left ventricular ejection fraction, and increased ventricular septum were independent risk factors for preoperative myocardial injury in patients with gastrointestinal tumors. The proportion of clinical symptoms in gastrointestinal tumor patients with myocardial injury was low, indicating the necessity to closely monitor the cardiac status of individuals with gastrointestinal tumors.

Abstract
Biological aging is commonly associated with compromised cardiovascular function. In particular, cardiac aging is featured by unfavorable left ventricular remodeling, loss of compliance, and poor contractile reserve. Among possible contributing factors for cardiovascular aging, dampened autophagy response has received much attention. Recent evidence also noted a decline in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) response and mitochondrial content in aging. I/R stress is commonly seen in the setting of cardiac surgery representing a clinical dilemma accompanied by possible myocardial injury if not handled correctly. Although overproduction of reactive oxygen species has been indicated to play a role in aging-associated more pronounced I/R injury, little is known for the mechanism of action (in particular the role of autophagy and mitophagy) and possible sequelae of poor I/R stress response in aging.
