Guidelines

• Full text
  • 2022 ESC Guidelines on cardiovascular assessment and management of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery: Developed by the task force for cardiovascular assessment and management of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC)
    Endorsed by the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC)
    
    
• ESC Congress 2022 Presentation

General overview

• Presentations
  
  • ESC Guidelines overview:
    • 2022 ESC Guidelines on cardiovascular assessment and management of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery
  • 2022 ESC Guidelines on cardiovascular assessment and management of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery - Meet the Guidelines Task Force
    • Key messages
    • Panel discussion

Interaction with patients

• Webinar
  • Shared decision-making in cardiology care: what is it and do we really do it? Making every contact count!

Assessment

•  Overview
  • Preoperative risk assessment of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery
  • Valves, appendages and peri-operative risk assessment
  • Cardiovascular preoperative screening system for non-cardiac surgery modified from ACC/AHA guideline can provide effective evaluation
  • Redefining cardiovascular risk prediction: is the crystal ball clearer now?
• Clinical
  • The 12-lead ECG in the differential diagnosis of bradyarrhythmias
  • Exercise testing in cardiovascular patients
  • From TAVI over mitral and tricuspid transcatheter interventions to cardiac and non-cardiac surgery: is it useful to assess frailty?
• Imaging
  • Why a CT scan and not an MRI? Do I need another cardiac echo? Diagnostic tests for cardiovascular patients
  • To screen or not to screen asymptomatic patients by CT
  • The role of imaging in the diabetic heart

Management

• General risk reduction strategies
  • Webinar: 17 October - Perioperative management of antithrombotic therapy and thromboprophylaxis before non-cardiac surgery
    
    
• Specific diseases
  
  • Webinar: 24 October - Perioperative management of patients with specific diseases undergoing non-cardiac surgery.
  • Chronic Coronary syndromes
    • Revascularization of ischaemic myocardium: still valuable in patients with stable CAD?
    • Management of patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy: is there still a role for ischaemia-guided revascularization?
  • Acute coronary syndromes
    • Relevance and management of troponin elevation following non-cardiac surgery.
    • NSTEM after non-cardiac surgery
    • Diagnosis and management of myocardial injury following non-cardiac surgery: present and future
    • Detecting myocardial infarction after non-cardiac surgery.
  • Other
    • Aortic stenosis and non-cardiac surgery
    • Post-operative AF and heart failure hospitalizations: what remains hidden in patients undergoing surgery
