This prospective observational study investigates the incidence of acute myocardial injury after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Consecutive patients undergoing elective open or robot-assisted radical prostatectomy at the Martini-Klinik are included. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) is measured preoperatively and on postoperative days 1 and 2 to identify acute myocardial injury, defined according to the 4th Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction. Secondary outcomes include the incidence of myocardial infarction, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, and mortality during the hospital stay and at 24 months. Baseline patient characteristics (age, BMI, cardiovascular risk factors including the Revised Cardiac Risk Index, comorbidities, and prior cardiac therapy) as well as surgical and tumor-specific parameters are recorded. Associations between acute myocardial injury and clinical variables are analyzed.
