The leading cause of morbidity and mortality following anesthesia is major adverse cardiac events, or MACE. There are two potential pathways for improvement of this issue during pre-operative assessment and prevention: updating cardiac risk assessment guidelines, and improving guideline adherence and risk assessment accuracy with clinical decision support tools.
