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).
