Patients Undergoing Major Cancer Surgery: Incidence and Predictive Value for Postoperative Cardiac Events
Completed
Conditions studied: High Risk for Postoperative Cardiovascular Events
In brief
The purpose of this study is to look at a new method for finding out if patients have a risk of heart complications from surgery. At the present, to find out if patients have a risk of heart complications from surgery, look at whether the patient has heart disease, diabetes, kidney problems, and stroke. The investigators hope that this study will confirm a new, safe test to help us predict the risk of surgery.
