title: Preoperative cardiac assessment of the candidate for major resective pancreatic surgery.
abstract: The risk of perioperative cardiac morbidity and mortality can be predicted based on clinical assessment and noninvasive testing for the detection of myocardial ischemia. Appropriate preoperative interventions in high-risk patients are indicated. Medical intervention with beta blockade is particularly effective.
