PY - 2022 T2 - Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 2022 AB - There are guidelines to help the clinician and patient better define the risk of both cardiac and noncardiac surgery in heart patients. The easiest to use algorithms for cardiac surgery can be found on either of two websites: one includes the euroSCORE (www.euroSCORE.org/calc.html) and the other the STS (Society of Thoracic Surgeons) database that provides a longitudinal look at the risk of cardiac surgery (http://www.sts.org/national-database). The EuroScore method invariably results in a greater risk score than the STS. These preoperative guidelines and algorithms are also available as smartphone applications (preop cardiac evaluation, STS scoring system, ACC/AHA risk of noncardiac surgery algorithm).
