🥺 Should I undergo a cardiological evaluation before having surgery?

Here we will describe why preoperative cardiovascular evaluation is relevant.

Preoperative cardiovascular evaluation depends on two variables: the patient's risk and the risk of the surgery itself. Common surgeries such as abdominal or gynecological procedures, which involve sedation (anesthesia), require this assessment. What does the consultation contribute? Firstly, it ensures that there are no active heart conditions that have not been evaluated or treated, which could complicate the course of surgery or postoperative recovery, such as severe coronary disease, valvular disorders, or cardiac arrhythmias. Anticipating and correcting these issues reduces the risk of unexpected and adverse events, allowing us to medicate or take all necessary measures in the pre/hospital setting for the optimal outcome of the surgery. One of the most common situations is adjusting antihypertensive treatment. Additionally, assessing the heart's structure in surgeries that involve significant fluid administration, such as a hemicolectomy, helps prevent decompensation due to heart failure. It's important to consult with your cardiologist for a detailed clinical evaluation 🩺, along with a 12-lead electrocardiogram and, if necessary, an echocardiogram (cardiac ultrasound) to assess the heart's structure. All this information is essential for surgical safety and to indicate appropriate treatment💊.
