Population

Adults undergoing non-cardiac general surgery

Intervention

Preoperative cardiac risk evaluation and modification (including clinical cardiac risk factors, laboratory measurements, non-invasive and invasive coronary testing, and medical/interventional strategies)

Outcome

Perioperative cardiac complications and long-term survival

This review outlines a stepwise approach to preoperative cardiac risk evaluation and modification to improve both perioperative and long-term survival in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Perioperative cardiac complications carry high mortality after non-cardiac surgery; supports preoperative risk evaluation but leaves optimal strategies open for prospective study.
