Abstract

Ischaemic heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the population of western Europe and North America. Its prevalence is illustrated by the fact that over 40% of adult males in the age-range 45–55 die as a consequence of the disease. Furthermore, the problem of dealing with this condition is rendered more difficult by the fact that only one in ten patients with ischaemic heart disease may exhibit symptoms. As surgery is being performed on an increasingly ageing population, and the incidence of the disease is high among the elderly, anaesthetists are encountering the condition with increasing frequency.
