Abstract

Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACEs) are common in patients undergoing noncardiac surgeries. Until 1977, the most widely used technic for perioperative assessment of surgical risk was Dripps-American Surgical Association, which only predicted perioperative noncardiac complications. Pre-existing data that suggested correlation of recent preoperative myocardial infarction and cardiac disease with overall surgery and cardiac risk were only limited to univariate analysis. This study attempted to make a multifactorial approach to estimate cardiac risk in noncardiac surgical procedures.
