This study aimed to compare dobutamine stress echocardiography (DES) with computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) in patients with undergoing intermediate to high risk noncardiac surgery.

Diagnostic accuracy of DES vs. CTCA in the prediction of the postoperative hard cardiac events in patients undergoing intermediate to high risk noncardiac surgeries
Diagnostic performance includes sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and receiver operator curve area under the curve. Postoperative hard cardiac events were defined as cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction.
Time frame: 1 month
Diagnostic accuracy of DES vs. CTCA in the prediction of the perioperative all cardiovascular events in patients undergoing intermediate to high risk noncardiac surgeries.
Perioperative all cardiovascular events were defined as cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, pulmonary edema, ventricular fibrillation, new onset atrial fibrillation with hemodynamic compromise, complete heart block, pulmonary embolism, and prophylactic revascularization.
Time frame: 1 month
Diagnostic accuracy of DES and/or CTCA compared to revised cardiac risk score (RCRI) alone.
Incremental diagnostic accuracy changes with DES and/or CTCA compared to RCRI alone. Incremental diagnostic accuracy includes the area under the curve comparison analysis, integrated discrimination improvement, and net reclassification improvement.
Time frame: 1 month
