Why the study?
Cardiological complications are leading causes of postoperative morbidity and mortality, requiring effective strategies to identify perioperative cardiac risk and prevent complications.
This review summarizes current approaches to perioperative cardiac risk assessment in noncardiac surgery to help prevent postoperative cardiovascular complications.
Perioperative CV risk assessment aids prevention; leaves open validated protocols for high-risk surgical patients.
During the postoperative period, cardiological complications occupy the first position regarding morbidity and mortality rates. They depend on various factors such as compromised cardiovascular history and type of surgical intervention, features and type of anesthesia, water balance and postoperative care of the patient. To prevent complications, one should reply two questions: is there a risk of cardiovascular complications in the perioperative period and how to avoid them. The article presents a review of the literature on current views on the perioperative assessment of cardiac risks in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
