Advances in nuclear imaging for preoperative risk assessment

Jonathan Eddinger et al. Curr Cardiol Rep. 2005 Mar.

Abstract

Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is frequently utilized for preoperative risk assessment. Results are pertinent for long-term risk. MPI, though most frequently applied in intermediate-risk patients, may also be valuable in selected low- and high-risk individuals. Coronary stenting may alter the timing of noncardiac surgery, which should be considered when performing preoperative risk assessment.
