Researchers detail in 'Preoperative risk stratification with myocardial perfusion imaging in intermediate and low-risk non-cardiac surgery,' new data in cardiology. According to a study from Tokyo, Japan, "Perioperative cardiac risk in high risk surgery is often stratified with myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). However, little and no data are available about intermediate and low-risk surgery, respectively. A total of 1,220 consecutive patients underwent electrocardiography-gated dipyridamole stress SPECT to evaluate myocardial perfusion and cardiac function before intermediate or low risk non-cardiac surgery."
