2022 ESC Guidelines on Cardiovascular Assessment and Management of Patients Undergoing Non Cardiac Surgery

26 Aug, 2022
Table of contents
These guidelines are intended for physicians, healthcare workers, and collaborators involved in the pre-operative, operative, and post-operative care of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

The objective is to endorse a standardised and evidence-based approach to peri-operative CV management. The guidelines recommend a stepwise evaluation of the patient that integrates clinical risk factors and test results with the estimated stress of the planned surgical procedure and the risks involved with the discontinuation of drugs.
