Coronary risk of noncardiac surgery

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 1991
ORONARY ARTERY disease is the number one cause of death in the United States, often progressing silently until severe disease is present. It is also one of the most frequent causes of death after noncardiac surgery. Therefore, risk stratification of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease should be performed at the time of presentation

Noncardiac Surgery

2023
Abstract Children with heart disease who undergo noncardiac surgery present substantial anesthetic risk. The incidence of congenital heart disease has been estimated as 6/1000. Related anesthetic risks include cardiac lesions, inpatient versus outpatient setting, type of surgery, surgical approach, and postoperative disposition.

Hospital Readmission After Perioperative Acute Myocardial Infarction Associated With Noncardiac Surgery

Circulation, 2018
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major cardiovascular complication of noncardiac surgery. We aimed to evaluate the frequency, causes, and outcomes of 30-day hospital readmission after perioperative AMI.

Neurologic Complications in Noncardiac Surgery

Seminars in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2006
In this article, the incidence of nervous system injuries associated with noncardiac surgery is reviewed briefly. In general, these can be divided into injuries that are clinically apparent (eg, stroke or peripheral nerve damage), which may generally be detectable on clinical examination, and more subtle forms of brain injury (eg, personality changes ...

Myocardial Infarction after Noncardiac Surgery 

Anesthesiology, 1998
Background In this study, the authors intensively monitored isoenzyme and electric activity of the heart for the first 7 days after noncardiac surgery in a large group of patients at risk for postoperative myocardial infarction (PMI).

Cardiovascular problems in noncardiac surgery

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2009
Perioperative cardiac complications remain a major area of concern as our surgical population increases in volume, age and frequency of comorbidity. A variety of strategies can be used to optimize patients and potentially reduce the incidence of these serious complications.Recent literature suggests a trend towards less invasive testing for detection ...

Transesophageal Echocardiography in Noncardiac Thoracic Surgery

Anesthesiology Clinics, 2012
In high-risk surgeries with medically complicated patients, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) adds an additional level of monitoring with which few can disagree. This article presents multiple applications of TEE that can assist both the anesthesiologist and the surgeon through major noncardiac thoracic surgery.

Cardiac Prognosis in Noncardiac Geriatric Surgery

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1985
Predictors of perioperative complications, including cardiac death, ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, and heart failure or myocardial infarction, were assessed in an initial study of 100 patients aged 65 years or older scheduled for elective abdominal or noncardiac thoracic surgery.

Perioperative Myocardial Infarction with Noncardiac Surgery

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1994
The incidence of perioperative myocardial infarction with noncardiac surgery varies by the type of procedure and the prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis in the study population. Incidence is < or = 1% with minor procedures and may exceed 10% with vascular operations. The case fatality rate continues to be 30% to 50%.

Cardiac Risk in Noncardiac Surgery

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1995
The preoperative evaluation and management of the patient potentially at risk for cardiac complications of noncardiac surgery require the collaborative efforts of the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and medical physician. Each brings a somewhat different perspective and expertise to the problem, and ideal decisions are possible only if all work together in ...
