Research summary
The scans of up to 90 patients who died during or within the 90 days following their surgery will be subject reviewed using a simple calcium scoring technique. These scores will then be compared to a group of matched patients, who survived surgery, to see if there is a significant difference in calcium scores between the two populations.
