Preoperative Evaluation of Patients with Possible Coronary Artery Disease

TL;DR: The present review article will focus on the definition of high cardiac risk surgery and will discuss patient-related cardiac risk factors and the preoperative cardiac tests available to detect patients with coronary artery disease and strategies to reduce perioperative cardiac risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Does resting two-dimensional echocardiography identify patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and low likelihood of functional recovery after coronary revascularization?

TL;DR: In patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and severe LV enlargement, improvement of LVEF after revascularization is unlikely to occur; in patients with relatively preserved LV size, a higher likelihood of functional recovery may be anticipated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography assessment of left anterior descending artery flow in patients with previous anterior myocardial infarction

TL;DR: Shortening of the LAD flow diastolic PHT in patients with remote, reperfused anterior MI reflects scarred myocardial tissue in the anteroapical wall while patients who maintain diastsolic wall thickness after an acute coronary syndrome have PHT similar to patients without anterior MI.
