Abstract

Perioperative myocardial ischemia is common in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) subjected to cardiac and major noncardiac surgical procedures [1—7]. As outlined in Tables 1 and 2, its incidence varies widely. Differences in populations studied and, in particular, in techniques employed to detect ischemia are the most obvious reasons for this variable incidence.
