The Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) 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
Mortality risk
Number of risk factors Mortality
Original study[1] Independent validation[3]
≥ 3 11% 3.6%
2 7% 1.7%
1 0.9% 0.7%
0 0.4% 0.3%

The RCRI has been validated among patients although exploratory analyses suggested that adding age and surgical details would improve the model.[3] The RCRI has been validated among patients undergoing surgery for peripheral arterial disease.[4]
