Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Recent published ESC guidelines on non-cardiac surgery suggest the use of imaging stress test in patients with poor functional capacity and high likelihood of coronary artery disease or high clinical risk (class I, level B), while the use of coronary computed tomography has lower evidence (class IIa, level B). Witch test has the best performance in the clinical contest of pre-operative risk assessment is a matter of debate.
Aim
The aim of our single centre, retrospective study was to compare the prognostic role of the three main cardiac imaging modalities (CCT: Cardiac computed tomography, sCMR: stress cardiac magnetic resonance, SPECT MPI:single photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging) in relation to 30 days post-surgery cardiac events (composite endpoint of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, cardiac death, cardiogenic shock, pulmonary oedema, life threatening cardiac arrythmias).
Method
Clinical data of patients from January 2015 to December 2021 were retrospectively collected from review of electronical medical records. Recorded data included demographic characteristics, clinical risk factors, results from laboratory tests, results from cardiac imaging tests, pharmacological therapy, type of intervention, cardiac complication within 30 days after surgery.
Results
Eight-hundred eighty-three patients were included (287 sCMR, 382 SPECT-MPI, 214 CCT). Rate of 30-days myocardial infarction was not significantly different between different modalities (CMR 1.1%, SPECT 1.3%; CT 0.5%; CMR vs SPECT p 0.998; sCMR vs CT p 0.639; SPECT vs CT 0.427); while planned invasive coronary angiography (ICA) was more common in CT group (CT 34%, CMR 16%, SPECT 10%, p<0,001). Absence of ischemia on stress test and absence of relevant coronary artery disease on CT are associate to lower cardiac events at follow-up (0.67%).
Conclusions
The use of imaging stress test and coronary CT are both associated to low incidence of cardiac events and should be recommended in risk assessment before non-cardiac surgery, in the appropriate clinical context.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
. Cardiac complications related to non-cardiac surgery have a variable incidence, from less than 1% to more than 5% with a great variability depending on type of intervention, patient's risk factors and results from tests performed during the pre-operative evaluation. The aim of our single centre retrospective study was to evaluate the prognostic role of stress cardiac magnetic resonance (sCMR) and single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT-MPI) in relation to 30 days post-surgery cardiac events.
Method
Clinical data of patients from January 2015 to December 2021 were retrospectively collected from review of electronical medical records. Only intermediate and high risk surgeries were included. All patients underwent to cardiologic, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic evaluation before surgery. Stress test was performed according to cardiologist judgment. Primary endpoint was a composite endpoint of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, cardiac death, cardiogenic shock, pulmonary oedema and life threatening cardiac arrythmias. Secondary endpoint were the research of ischemia predictors and the rate of revascularization.
Results
One-thousand-five-hundred-ninety patients were included, 669 stress tests were performed (287 sCMR, 382 SPECT-MPI). Rate of 30-days cardiac events was lower in the stress test group vs non-stress test group (1,2% vs 3,4%; p 0,006). Imaging stress test strategy showed a significant reduction of composite endpoint at multivariate analysis (OR: 0.334, IC: 0.155–0.766, p 0.009). Predictors of ischemia were hypertension, coronary artery disease and diastolic dysfunction. SCMR was non inferior to SPECT with regard the risk of cardiac events, while showed a greater accuracy to predict coronary revascularization (AUC for sCMR: 0.94).
Conclusions
Stress test strategy reduces cardiac events in high risk patients candidate to moderate- to high- risk surgeries. Stress CMR is non-inferior to SPECT with regards to the risk of cardiac events, but has a greater accuracy to predict the need for revascularization.
