Abstract

PURPOSE: Major thoracic surgery is associated with a 5-10% incidence of post-operative cardiac events. It has been shown to be difficult, based on clinical criteria alone, to determine the severity of cardiac disease. We hypothesized that routine stress testing would identify patients at increased risk for cardiac complications and would lead to subsequent interventions, ultimately improving outcomes.
