Review outlines perioperative management strategies to mitigate cardiovascular risks in CAD patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
Why the study?
Patients with coronary artery disease face increased risks during noncardiac surgery due to cardiovascular stress and anesthetic effects, necessitating evaluation of management approaches.
This review outlines perioperative management strategies for patients with coronary artery disease undergoing noncardiac surgery to mitigate cardiovascular risks.
Supports individualized perioperative decisions in CAD patients; leaves open optimal strategy without new trial data.
Patients with coronary artery disease face increased risks when they undergo noncardiac surgery. This is attributable to the cardiovascular stress imposed by the surgical procedure and the effects of anesthetic agents on the cardiovascular system. Several approaches to managing patients with coronary artery disease before, during, and after noncardiac surgery include "prophylactic" myocardial revascularization procedures, digitalization, use of propranolol hydrochloride, and insertion of temporary intravenous pacemakers.

L. D. Hillis (1978) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease undergoing noncardiac surgery. Perioperative management approaches (revascularization, digitalization, propranolol, pacemakers) was evaluated. Perioperative management approaches, including prophylactic revascularization and medical therapy, are discussed for mitigating cardiovascular risks in patients with CAD undergoing noncardiac surgery.
