Preoperative Evaluation of the Patient with Myocardial Disease: Clinical Review

EMERSON A. MOFFITT M.D., F.R.C.P(C)1

1 Department of Anaesthesia, Dalhousie University and Victoria General Hospital, Halifax, N.S.

The patient with chronic disease of the myocardium must be evaluated perceptively as to the extent of abnormal function. The degree of reduction of cardiac reserve must be estimated and all efforts must be made to improve cardiac performance before operation; then a carefully managed anaesthetic is needed to assure a smooth operative and post-operative course.
