Abstract

Myocardial ischemia is a frequently observed in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) subjected to cardiac or major non-cardiac surgical procedures [1–10]. However, its incidence varies widely (Tables 1, 2). This can be attributed to differences in study populations, study protocols and methods used for detection of ischemia.
