Cardiac Complications in Patients Undergoing Major Noncardiac Surgery.
A lthough major noncardiac surgery has the potential to improve the quality and prolong the duration of a patient’s life, surgery may also precipitate complications such as death from cardiac causes, myocardial infarction or injury, cardiac arrest, or congestive heart failure.1 In this article, we review what is known about the epidemiology and mechanisms of perioperative cardiac complications ...
متن کاملCardiac events in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery: shifting the paradigm from noninvasive risk stratification to therapy.
Internists and cardiologists are often asked to estimate the risk for perioperative myocardial infarction or cardiac death in patients being considered for noncardiac surgery. Estimating this risk in an individual patient is difficult and complex. Although noninvasive imaging tests are often used for this purpose, a review of the literature reveals that the positive predictive value of noninvas...
متن کاملSurveillance and prevention of major perioperative ischemic cardiac events in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery: a review.
This is the second of 2 articles evaluating cardiac events in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. Unrecognized myocardial infarctions (MIs) are common, and up to 50% of perioperative MIs may go unrecognized if physicians rely only on clinical signs or symptoms. In this article, we summarize the evidence regarding monitoring strategies for perioperative MI in patients undergoing noncardiac s...
متن کاملPrevious coronary stent implantation and cardiac events in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
BACKGROUND Noncardiac surgery performed after coronary stent implantation is associated with an increased risk of stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and death. The influence of stent type and period of risk still have to be defined. METHODS AND RESULTS We linked the Scottish Coronary Revascularisation Register with hospital admission data to undertake a Scotland-wide retrospective cohor...
متن کاملCardiac Evaluation and Monitoring of Patients Undergoing Noncardiac Surgery
Surgical management of disease has a tremendous impact on our health system. Millions of people worldwide undergo surgeries every year. Cardiovascular complications in the perioperative period are one of the most common events leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Although such events are very small in number, they are associated with a high mortality rate making it essential for physic...
