REDUCING GLOBAL PERIOPERATIVE RISK

Risk Prediction

key Findings

  • Compared with the revised cardiac risk index alone, findings on preoperative CCTA appropriately improved risk estimation among patients who will experience perioperative cardiovascular death or a myocardial infarction (adjusted hazard ratio for extensive obstructive coronary artery disease, 3.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12 to 12.62).

Key Highlights

  • The objectives were to determine if coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) enhances prediction of perioperative risk in patients before non-cardiac surgery and to assess the preoperative coronary anatomy in patients who experience a myocardial infarction after non-cardiac surgery.
