The Revised Cardiac Risk Index is a clinical prediction rule for use during preoperative care for prediction major cardiac complications of noncardiac surgery.[1] The original index was published in 1977.[2]

The component of the Index are:

  • high-risk surgery (intraperitoneal, intrathoracic, or vascular surgery above the inguinal ligaments). See prognosis by surgery type.
  • history of ischemic heart disease
  • history of congestive heart failure
  • history of cerebrovascular disease
  • preoperative treatment with insulin
  • preoperative serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dL

The risk of major cardiac complications based on the number of risk factors are:

  • 0 risk factor - 0.4%
  • 1 risk factor - 0.9%
  • 2 risk factor - 7%
  • 3 or more risk factors - 11%
