The increase
in ageing of the population has a major impact on perioperative patient
management. The number of surgical interventions increases in almost all age
groups, but that the largest increase occurs in the middle aged and elderly
population. Although mortality from cardiac disease is decreasing in the
overall population, the prevalence of ischemic heart disease, heart failure and
cardiovascular risk factors, especially diabetes mellitus, is increasing. Among
the significant co-morbidities in elderly patients presenting for general
surgery, cardiovascular disease is the most prevalent. Cardiac complications
after non-cardiac surgery depend not only on specific risk factors but also on
the type of surgery and the circumstances under which it takes place. In this
review, we aimed to summarize the preoperative cardiovascular evaluation for
noncardiac surgery.
