Abstract
Over the last fifty years, mortality caused by anesthesia alone has decreased from one in 1500 to one in 150 000 or less. However, the peri-operative mortality of anesthesia and surgery continues to be a major public health issue, as well as the frequent occurrence of major cardiovascular complications including myocardial ischemia, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, acute left ventricular failure and life-threatening dysrhythmias. In addition to their immediate risks and costs, these complications are known to worsen the long-term prognosis of the sufferers. Post-operative myocardial ischemia reduces the two-year survival, free of adverse cardiac outcomes, by 20% while myocardial infarction reduces it by 70% [1].
