Variations among the United States, ESC, and Canadian guidelines in evaluating perioperative cardiac risk for a 65-year-old male with no cardiovascular risk factors or history of cardiovascular disease, and scheduled for an elective cholecystectomy. BNP, B-type natriuretic peptide; CAD, coronary artery disease; ECG, electrocardiogram; MACE, major cardiac events; NCS, non-cardiac surgery; RCRI, revised cardiac risk index. *Cardiovascular risk factors: hypertension, smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, women age >65 years; men age >55 years; obesity; family history of premature coronary artery disease. †Determining elevated calculated risk depends on the calculator used. Traditionally, revised cardiac risk index >1 or a calculated risk of major cardiac events with any perioperative risk calculator >1% is used as a threshold to identify patients at elevated risk. †† Determining if the patient has any of the following risk modifiers: severe valvular heart disease; severe pulmonary hypertension, elevated risk congenital heart disease, priori coronary stents/coronary artery bypass grafting; recent stroke; cardiac implantable electronic device (pacemaker/implantable cardioverter defibrillators); frailty.
