Perioperative cardiac morbidity seen in patients undergoing noncardiac surgery is directly related to the underlying coronary artery disease . . 52 patients who had noncardiac surgery were studied for detecting the preoperative elinical and diagnostic test predictors of perioperative cardiac morbidity. Among all the factors studied, being bedridden preoperatively due to a noncardiac cause was found to be the single predictor (p=0.0085). Major noncardiac surgery (p=0.056) and Goldman's elinical cardiac index (p=0.078) had limited predicted value. Being bedridden preoperatively predicted perioperative cardiac morbidity in 4 of the 9 patients (44.4%) with, and in 40 of 43 patients (93.2%) without perioperative cardiac morbidity correctly.
