Vascular Surgery Outcomes: Echocardiography as Risk-Assessment for Major Adverse Cardiac Events in Major Vascular Surgery Patients
In Brief
An observational study for Left-Sided Heart Failure and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 813 participants.
Detailed Summary
Patient with coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure and abnormal heart function undergoing major vascular surgery have a high associated high morbidity and mortality with myocardial infarction accounting for 33-50% of perioperative deaths. The prevalence of CAD in vascular surgery patients approaches 50%. Proper pre-procedure protocols to accurately assess patients and determine who may require further medical optimization prior to undergoing surgery help mitigate risk and improve outcomes. The investigators designed this study as a single center, retrospective cohort analysis to explore the association between ventricular (LV and RV function) and valvular (Aortic / Mitral / Tricuspid) function and expanded major adverse cardiac events (X-MACE).
