What are the risk factors for cardiovascular complications following hip surgery?
Increasing age, bilateral staged surgery, preoperative hypertension, coronary artery disease, valvular disease, and ASA category 3 are significant risk factors for cardiovascular complications following hip surgery.
Supports preoperative risk assessment in hip surgery; leaves open whether targeted interventions reduce events.

Suh et al. (2012) conducted a case-control in Hip surgery (n=1,390). Bilateral hip surgery vs. Unilateral hip surgery was evaluated on Postoperative cardiovascular complications (p=<0.001). Bilateral hip surgery, older age, hypertension, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and ASA category 3 were significantly associated with a higher incidence of postoperative cardiovascular complications.
