Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - Decision Making in Perioperative Medicine: Clinical Pearls AB - Arrhythmias and conduction system disorders are common perioperatively with a reported incidence of 4–20% after noncardiac surgery and 15–60% after cardiac surgery.1 Prior to noncardiac surgery, a resting 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is recommended for patients with known coronary artery disease, significant structural heart disease, significant arrhythmia, cerebrovascular disease, or peripheral arterial disease, except for patients undergoing low-risk surgery.2 Comparison with prior ECGs is helpful and detailed cardiac history should be obtained preoperatively from the patient's cardiologist or primary care physician.
