After recalling cardiac disorders and the cardiac risk of non cardiac surgery, the authors illustrate the methods for evaluating clinical risk in individual patients, the instrumental procedures appropriate for the diagnosis of ventricular dysfunction or myocardial ischemia which are responsible for the majority of cardiac complications during surgery. Finally, they describe alternative therapies for high-risk patients.
