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 component of the Index are:

  • high-risk surgery (intraperitoneal, intrathoracic, or vascular surgery above the inguinal ligaments)
  • history of ischemic heart disease
  • history of congestive heart failure
  • history of cerebrovascular disease

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%
