  • To guide appropriate testing and recommendations for optimizing patient care.

Main Methods:

  • Focused patient history and physical examination.
  • Application of current evidence-based guidelines for cardiac risk assessment.
  • Evaluation of patient-specific risk factors and comorbidities.

Main Results:

  • Identification of patients at high risk for surgical complications.
  • Tailored recommendations for preoperative testing and management.
  • Informed decisions regarding medication adjustments and prophylaxis.

Conclusions:

  • A systematic approach to preoperative assessment improves patient safety.
  • Evidence-based guidelines are essential for accurate risk stratification.
  • Effective communication between internists and surgeons enhances care quality.
