What is the incidence and what are the predictors of perioperative cardiac complications in patients with cardiac diseases undergoing noncardiac surgery?
In patients with underlying cardiac disease, noncardiac surgery is associated with a high incidence (64%) of perioperative cardiac complications, driven by surgical type, age, procedure duration, and baseline comorbidities.
Radovanović et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Cardiac diseases undergoing noncardiac surgery (n=100). Noncardiac surgery was evaluated on Incidence of perioperative (operative and postoperative) cardiac complications. Perioperative cardiac complications occurred in 64% of patients with cardiac diseases undergoing noncardiac surgery, with type of surgery, age, and diabetes as independent risk factors.
