Description
RCRI estimates the risk of major cardiac complications in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. It records six predictors: high-risk surgery, history of ischaemic heart disease, history of congestive heart failure, history of cerebrovascular disease, insulin-treated diabetes, and preoperative serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dL (177 μmol/L). Each predictor scores one point, and the total score stratifies patients into low, moderate, or high risk groups to guide perioperative monitoring and further cardiac assessment.
