Authors' recommendations:
OHTAC does not recommend the routine use of noninvasive cardiac stress tests for preoperative screening purposes prior to noncardiac, intermediate-risk, elective surgery.
OHTAC recommends that the selective use of these tests be guided based on patients' clinical risk factors for perioperative cardiac complications, as well as whether information from the test would inform clinical decision-making
