Overview• Drafted out by American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart
Association (AHA) initially in 1980 then revised again in 2002, 2007 and 2011.
• Comprising almost 20 topics relating to cardiac issues for patients undergoing non cardiac surgery.
• Eg : preoperative noninvasive evaluation of LV function; preoperative resting
12-lead ECG; noninvasive stress testing before non-cardiac surgery; reoperative coronary revascularization; betablocker therapy; statin therapy; preoperative ICU monitoring; use of volatile anesthetic agents; prophylactic
Nitroglycerin, maintenance of normothermia; glucose control; use of pulmonary artery catheters; intraoperative and postoperative ST-segment monitoring; surveillance for perioperative myocardial infarction; and the
tissue of when patients with cardiac stents can safely undergo elective surgery

Purpose
• Quick reference for decision making
• lower the risk of surgery
• evaluation of the patient’s current medical status
• make recommendations concerning the evaluation, management, and risk of cardiac problems over the entire preoperative period
• provide a clinical risk profile can be of use in making treatment decisions that may influence short- and long-term cardiac outcomes

PREOPERATIVE CARDIAC EVALUATION
• Evaluation
History taking
• to identify serious cardiac conditions such as unstable coronary syndromes, prior angina, recent or past MI, decompensated HF, significant arrhythmias, and severe valvular disease
• history of a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator
• Accurate recording of current medications used, including herbal and other nutritional supplements, and dosages
.

• Determine ASA status , surgery classification and functional capacity.
Status State
Class 1 No organic, physiologic, biochemical, or psychiatric disturbance.
Class 2 Mild to moderate systemic disturbance that may or may not be related to the reason for surgery Eg : Essential HTN, DM, Morbid Obesity, Anemia
Class 3 Severe systemic disturbance that may or may not be related to the reason for surgery, (does limit activity)Eg ; Uncontrolled HTN, DM with vascular complications, COPD with func. Limitation, angine pectoris, Hx of MI
Class 4 Severe systemic disturbance that is life-threatening with or without surgery Eg : CHF, advanced pulmonary, renal/hepatic dysfunction
Class 5 Moribund patient who has little chance of survival but is submitted to surgery as a last resort (resuscitative effort)Eg : Uncontrolled hemorrhage from ruptured abdominal aneurysm, cerebal trauma, pulmonary embolism.
Emergency (E) Any patient in whom an emergency operation is required

Risk Stratification
5 FACTORS FOR RISK STRATIFICATION
– Recency Of Coronary Revascularization
– Recency Of Last Favourable Cardiac Evaluation
– Presence Of Comorbidities-clinical Predictors
– Functional Status
– Risk Of Proposed Surgery
![Page 9: ACC AHA Guidelines on Perioperative Cardiac Assesement](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/554b9181b4c90574668b55fd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
1-CORONARY REVASCULARISATION
• Complete coronary surgical revascularization -5 yrs
• PCI-- > 6months-5 yrs
• No recurrent Symptoms or signs of ischemia
• Clinical status is stable
No further cardiac testing is necessary
![Page 10: ACC AHA Guidelines on Perioperative Cardiac Assesement](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/554b9181b4c90574668b55fd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
2-Coronary evaluation
• Past 2 years
• Invasive/non invasive tech
– Favorable– No definite change or new symptom
No further cardiac testing is necessary
![Page 11: ACC AHA Guidelines on Perioperative Cardiac Assesement](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/554b9181b4c90574668b55fd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3-Clinical predictors
• Major– Unstable coronary syndromes
• recent MI with evidence for ischemia ( >7 days & < 30days)• unstable or severe angina
– Decompensated CHF– Significant arrhythmia
• high grade AV block• symptomatic ventricular arrhythmia • supraventricular arrhythmia with uncontrolled rate
– Severe valvular disease
![Page 12: ACC AHA Guidelines on Perioperative Cardiac Assesement](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/554b9181b4c90574668b55fd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Intermediate– Mild angina pectoris (Canadian class I or II)– Prior MI by history or pathological Q waves– Compensated or prior CHF– Diabetes mellitus– Renal impairment (creatinine > 2mg per dL)– Anemia – Pulmonary Disease (obstructive/restrictive)
![Page 13: ACC AHA Guidelines on Perioperative Cardiac Assesement](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/554b9181b4c90574668b55fd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Minor– Advanced age– abnormal ECG (LVH, LBBB, ST-T change)– Rhythm other than sinus– Low functional capacity– History of stroke– Uncontrolled systemic hypertension
![Page 14: ACC AHA Guidelines on Perioperative Cardiac Assesement](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062513/554b9181b4c90574668b55fd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Functional Capacity
• Functional capacity can be expressed as metabolic equivalents (METs); the resting or basal oxygen consumption (Vo2) of a 70-kg, 40-year-old man in a resting state is 3.5 mL per kg per min, or 1 MET.
