Silent Myocardial Ischemia Is Not Predictive of Myocardial Infarction in Peripheral Vascular Surgery Patients

ACC/AHA 2007 Guidelines on Perioperative Cardiovascular Evaluation and Care for Noncardiac Surgery

“…The frequency of abnormal ST-segment changes observed in 869 patients reported in 7 series was 25% (range 9% to 39%). 42,[273][274][275][276][277] The positive and negative predictive values for perioperative MI and cardiac death are shown in Table 9. In 2 studies, preoperative ST changes had a predictive value similar to dipyridamole myocardial perfusion imaging.…”
