Dear Dr. GS,
Your patient Mr. MC has been “cleared” for
the planned surgery.
I would like to assure you that no medical
complications will arise from the planned
surgery and furthermore, should they arise, I
take full responsibility for managing them.
Our commitment extends for full 30 days post
op.

Recommendations for Preoperative Noninvasive
Evaluation of LV Function

status if not performed within 12 months.

Recommendations for Preoperative Noninvasive

1. Reassessment of LV function in clinically stable
patients with previously documented cardiomyopathy is

patients is not recommended.

Recommendations for Noninvasive Stress Testing
Before Noncardiac Surgery
Class I
1. Patients with active cardiac conditions.
Class IIa
1. 3 or more clinical risk factors and poor functional

surgery is reasonable if it will change management.

Recommendations for Noninvasive Stress Testing
Before Noncardiac Surgery
Class IIb
1. may be considered for patients with at lease 1 to 2 clinical
risk factors and poor functional capacity (less than 4
METs) who require intermediate risk or vascular surgery if
it will change management.
Class III
1. Noninvasive testing is not useful for patients with no
clinical risk factors undergoing low or intermediate-risk
noncardiac surgery.

weeks. Therefore, it seems reasonable to
withhold NCS, if possible, for at least 4 weeks
after PCI.

Summary of ACC/AHA Guideline Recommendations
Beta-Blocker Medical Therapy
Class I Beta-blockers should be continued in patients
undergoing surgery who are receiving beta-
blockers to treat angina, symptomatic
arrhythmias, hypertension, or other ACC/AHA
class I guideline indications
Class III Routine administration of high-dose beta-
blockers in the absence of dose titration is not
useful and may be harmful to patients not
currently taking beta-blockers who are
undergoing noncardiac surgery
