  2. Perioperative Cardiac Risk Management
Perioperative Cardiac Risk Management
When surgery looms, cardiac calls can make or break outcomes. In this evidence‑driven, guideline‑aligned course, hospitalists analyze perioperative risk, evaluate medication strategies, and synthesize plans for statins, beta‑blockers, and antiplatelet therapy after stenting. You’ll determine when to hold or continue agents, discuss revascularization only for real indications, and assess postoperative signals to act early—sharpening consults and reducing events.

Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, learners should be able to:
  1. Analyze the evidence for beta-blocker therapy in the management of patients at elevated perioperative risk for cardiac events.
  2. Assess the role for statins in perioperative cardiac risk reduction.
  3. Discuss the importance of continuing cardiac medications in the perioperative setting and the role of clonidine, aspirin, and nitrates in reducing perioperative cardiac risk.
  4. Evaluate the role for coronary interventions in preoperative patients with documented ischemia on noninvasive cardiac testing.
  5. Discuss the perioperative management of antiplatelet therapy for patients with cardiac stents.
  6. Elucidate the typical presentation of postoperative myocardial infarctions and realize the utility of screening measures.
