  • Title: Cardiac risk factors in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.
    Author: Rose SD, Corman LC, Mason DT.
    Journal: Med Clin North Am; 1979 Nov; 63(6):1271-88. PubMed ID: 529887.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac risks of noncardiac surgery are associated with some noncardiac risk factors but are primarily a function of the patient's underlying cardiac disease. Elective surgery should only be performed when the patient is in optimal condition--i.e., with no evidence of heart failure, at least 6 months after a previous myocardial infarction, and so forth. Careful monitoring of fluid status should lead to reduced cardiac morbidity and mortality after surgery in these patients.
