Frequency of perioperative ventricular dysrhythmias was not associated with adverse outcomes; leaves open the prognostic role of monitoring in structural heart disease.
Does the frequency of perioperative ventricular dysrhythmias affect adverse cardiac outcomes in patients with structural heart disease undergoing noncardiac surgery?
In patients with structural heart disease undergoing noncardiac surgery, the frequency of perioperative ventricular dysrhythmias does not appear to be associated with adverse cardiac outcomes.
