This text offers information regarding pre-operative cardiac assessment that will allow the surgeon to better identify and treat patients who may be at risk of cardiac complications following vascular surgery. The primary effort is directed at reviewing the advances that have made cardiac risk assessment before vascular surgery more acutely diagnostic. By presenting potential benefits and limitations of various methods of pre-operative evaluation, current approaches, as well as current controversies, are defined.
