Cardiac Risk Assessment, Morbidity Prediction, and Outcome in the Vascular Intensive Care Unit
Conclusions:
The RCRI’s discriminatory capacity is low, and this raises difficulties in assessing cardiac risk in patients undergoing vascular intervention. The AMI is highest in the OMT group without prior cardiac intervention, which mandates protocols to identify patients requiring cardiac intervention prior to vascular procedures.
