Dysrhythmias should not yet guide risk stratification or management in structural heart disease; leaves open independent prognostic value in noncardiac surgery.
Does the frequency of perioperative ventricular dysrhythmias independently affect outcome in patients with structural heart disease undergoing noncardiac surgery?
The frequency of perioperative ventricular dysrhythmias does not appear to independently affect outcomes in patients with structural heart disease undergoing noncardiac surgery.
