Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We have reviewed important issues relating to hypertension, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias and conduction defects, and valvular heart disease in caring for the patient with nonischemic heart disease in the perioperative period. Careful assessment by history and physical examination along with targeted testing will allow the clinician to identify potential complications, provide guided medical therapy, and better utilize other resources to reduce perioperative risk.
