Abstract
Although withholding these drugs before noncardiac surgery reduces the risk of intraoperative hypotension, recent trials suggest that it leads to harm in sicker patients. An individualized approach is safest, particularly in patients with heart failure. This review examines the emerging evidence regarding the impact of pausing vs continuing these drugs on intraoperative hypotension, myocardial injury, acute kidney injury, and postoperative outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine (CCJM) is to provide its readers with up-to-date, practical, clinical information relevant to internal medicine, cardiology, and related fields. Consistent with this mission, CCJM focuses on timely review articles and other content that has a continuing-education orientation rather than on original research or case reports. CCJM authors, drawn from Cleveland Clinic and other top medical institutions throughout the world, are asked to identify new findings that are changing the practice of medicine and to advise readers how to apply them in daily patient care. Authors are chosen for their experience, acquired through caring for patients, teaching other physicians, and researching clinical questions.
