Cardiac risk assessment after noncardiac surgery: a historical cohort study on guideline adherence at a Canadian quaternary care centre
About half of the patients undergoing noncardiac surgery in our cohort underwent BNP screening as recommended by CCS guidelines; troponin and ECG acquisition adherence was even lower. While postoperative cardiac ischemia is associated with increased 30-day morbidity and mortality, more studies exploring physician risk stratification practice and the impact of increased testing on long-term outcomes are needed.
