The Role of Modern Cardiac-Specific Biomarkers in Assessing the Risk of Developing Complications of Cardiovascular Diseases During Surgical Operations Not Related to Cardiac Intervention

Abstract

Despite significant tactic’s improvements of perioperative management of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery, there is still a high incidence of postoperative complications. So more accurate risk stratification is necessary before surgery in order to possibly reduce such risk. In addition to assessing the risk associated with surgery, the risk associated with the patient, which may be due to the presence of certain diseases, primarily cardiovascular, is also assessed. There are currently evidences of the validity of determining the level of biomarkers in the blood in certain groups of patients during operations not related to cardiac intervention, which makes it possible to clarify the scope of necessary diagnostic interventions in preparation for surgery, as well as to diagnose complications of heart disease in the postoperative period.
