Abstract
Physicians should adapt a systematic approach to cardiac risk stratification for patients being considered for noncardiac surgery, involving clinical evaluation, functional assessment, and surgical risk assessment for all patients and then deciding which patient needs to undergo noninvasive testing, coronary angiography and revascularization, perioperative monitoring, and aggressive postoperative care.
