Cardiac Risk Assessemnt Flowchart

The document outlines a clinical prediction model for determining cardiac risk of non-cardiac surgery based on a patient's Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) score and functional capacity. Patients with an RCRI score of 3 or more or a functional capacity of less than 4 METs undergoing high risk surgery are at high risk, while those with a score of 0-2 and functional capacity over 4 METs having intermediate risk surgery have intermediate risk. Non-invasive testing may be considered for high risk patients before angiography and subsequent treatment based on results.
