Update:

Assessment of preoperative functional capacity using standardized scales and biomarkers (NT-proBNP) may more accurately identify patients at risk as compared to subjective evaluation

Preoperative cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) needs further standardization in order to generate valid and reproducible data, for which specific guidelines have recently been produced

Revised cardiac risk index (RCRI) and NSQIP calculators are the most extended for preoperative cardiovascular risk assessment; although new indices such as the new AUB-POCES study-derived cardiovascular risk index (CVRI) have been developed.
