POISE-2Trial and Pre operative care guidelines

What should be the pre operative prescription, if any, to reduce CV events close to surgery in high risk patients? Recent recommendations say: Continue beta-blockers, ASA and statins if in use. Do not start if not in use. In short, mostly keep doing your regular stuff, nothing else for most cases. Then, what should be the role of a GP, internist or cardiologist in the routine pre-op care?
