                Authors' objectives:
                The objective of this rapid review was to determine the prognostic accuracy of preoperative resting 
echocardiography for noncardiac elective surgery with intermediate cardiac risk.
            
                                                
                Authors' recommendations:
                No studies were identified that examined the prognostic accuracy of resting echocardiography.
Resting echocardiography is not associated with improved survival or decreased length of stay after intermediate-risk, noncardiac, elective surgery (GRADE: Very low).
