Abstract
The new European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines on the cardiovascular assessment and management of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery were published in August 2022. In the preparation of the new document the previous guidelines published in 2014 were completely revised and the recommendations for action were adapted or renewed. Furthermore, the guidelines have been supplemented with some new chapters. The new and revised recommendations result in significant changes for the clinical practice. This particularly applies to the preoperative risk stratification, the perioperative risk management and the detection and management approaches in cases of perioperative and postoperative complications. Cardiovascular biomarkers play a special role in both the preoperative risk stratification and the detection of postoperative complications in combination with appropriate algorithms for action. The perioperative management of antithrombotic treatment (antiplatelet therapy or oral anticoagulation) is becoming increasingly individualized depending on the risk of ischemia or bleeding of the planned surgery. Particular attention is paid to the early detection of perioperative or postoperative myocardial infarctions based on determination of high-sensitivity (hs) cardiac troponin, not least because its association with high risk of morbidity and mortality. In patients with complex cardiovascular diseases, such as severe coronary artery disease, valvular heart diseases or those with ventricular support systems, the decision in an interdisciplinary team is highly recommended.
