Multifactorial index of cardiac risk in noncardiac surgical procedures.

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1977
To determine which preoperative factors might affect the development of cardiac complications after major noncardiac operations, we prospectively studied 1001 patients over 40 years of age.

Cardiac Surgical Procedures in Patients with Cirrhosis

, 2017
Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with higher mortality and morbidity in patients with cirrhosis. Child–Pugh (CP) classification and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score help stratify risk in patients who need cardiac surgery.

Combined cardiac surgical procedures in octogenarians: operative outcome [PDF]

Clinical Research in Cardiology, 2008
The number of patients with an indication for cardiac surgery in their ninth decade of life is increasing. This study analyses the single-center results with combined and redo cardiac surgical procedures in octogenarians retrospectively.Three groups were evaluated: (I) Two hundred and thirty six patients with combined cardiac surgical procedures, mean ...

Acute adrenal insufficiency following cardiac surgical procedures.

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1979
Five of 4,364 adult patients undergoing cardiac surgical procedures at this hospital from 1974 to 1978 have experienced bizarre and confusing postoperative courses, ultimately shown to be caused by acute adrenal insufficiency. Four were men and the age range was 53 to 73 years.

Aortic Assessment for Cardiac Surgical Procedures

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2006
Aortic atheromatous disease is associated with stroke in both the ambulatory and perioperative setting. In addition to atheromatous deposits, a reduction in the compliance of the aorta takes place as elastin fibers are replaced by collagen fibers. Both of these distinct processes, termed atherosclerosis, can easily be measured using transesophageal ...

A Risk-Benefit Assessment of Aprotinin in Cardiac Surgical Procedures

Drug Safety, 1998
Aprotinin, a naturally occurring serine protease inhibitor, has found widespread application during cardiac surgical procedures as a consequence of its ability to decrease blood loss and transfusion requirements. While its efficacy in a variety of clinical situations associated with increased risk of blood loss has been well established, at the same ...

Cardiac risk in noncardiac surgical procedures.

Archives of internal medicine, 1987
To the Editor. —In the November 1986 issue of theArchives, Detsky et al 1 presented a modified version of the index of Goldman et al 2 of cardiac risk in noncardiac surgical procedures. In both these studies, a multifactorial risk index is derived using stepwise linear discriminant analysis.
