Authors' objectives:
The objective of this rapid review was to determine the prognostic accuracy of preoperative, noninvasive,
cardiac stress testing for noncardiac elective surgery with intermediate cardiac risk.
Authors' recommendations:
All noninvasive cardiac stress tests provide modest prognostic information in patients undergoing intermediate-risk, noncardiac, elective surgery (GRADE: Very low).
Noninvasive cardiac stress testing is associated with improved 1-year survival and length of hospital stay in patients undergoing intermediate-risk, noncardiac, elective surgery (GRADE: Very low).
These benefits largely apply to patients who are at high risk for cardiac complications on the basis of 3 or more clinical risk factors, using the Revised Cardiac Risk Index.
