Abstract
Preoperative cardiovascular management is an essential component of overall
perioperative cardiovascular care. It involves preoperative detection and management of cardiovascular
disease and prediction of both short-term and long-term cardiovascular risk. It affects anesthetic
perioperative management and surgical decision making. This requires individualized management.
Careful preoperative preparation at least a week before surgery, rational decisions regarding necessary
tests and examinations, good cooperation with the cardiologist and surgeon and careful planning of
early postoperative treatment are key for better outcome after surgery and reduction of postoperative
complications.
