Cardiology Consultation in Noncardiac Surgery

The Gupta score is presented as an interactive risk calculation program in the 2014 guideline of the ACC/AHA. The Gupta score developed with this MICA model identified five predictors of perioperative myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest: type of surgery, functional status, creatinine increase (\>130 mmol/L or \>1.5 mg/dL), age, and American Association of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class. The frequency of cardiology consultation requests will be investigated according to the use of the Gupta score.
