Validating the Thoracic Revised Cardiac Risk Index Following Lung Resection [PDF]
The Thoracic Revised Cardiac Index (ThRCRI) is a tool that differentiates patients who may proceed to lung resection (classes A or B) from those who should receive additional cardiac evaluation (classes C or D). This study aims to describe the ability of the ThRCRI to stratify patients based on major cardiac complication rates using a large multi ...
