Predictive Value of Stress Testing, Revised Cardiac Risk Index, and Functional Status in Patients Undergoing Noncardiac Surgery

摘要

Objective: Patients undergoing noncardiac surgery are at risk for postoperative cardiovascular complications. Literature regarding the ability of the Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI), functional capacity, and stress testing to predict perioperative cardiac events is scarce. The authors examined the association of these parameters with perioperative cardiac events and their additive ability to predict these outcomes.
