Differentiated Prevention of Cardiac Complications of Extracardiac Surgery by A. N. Korniyenko, O. R. Dobrushina, E. P. Zinina

“…The latter were divided into 3 types: 1) coronary complications due to the inconsistency of oxygen delivery and consumption; 2) coronary ones due to atherosclerotic plaque rupture, followed by coronary artery thrombosis; 3) worsening heart failure. To predict different types of complications, one must focus attention on the following signs and, if needed, perform additional studies: 1) the functional class of exertional angina, stress tests (stress echocardiography using dobutamine or other agents), coronary angiography, and blood troponin T and I levels for Type 1; 2) the signs of the extent of the atherosclerotic process and the blood levels of C-reactive protein and other inflammatory markers for Type 2; 3) the clinical signs of heart failure and the blood levels of natriuretic peptides for Type 3. …”
