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
    • Includes "history of myocardial infarction, history of a positive exercise test, current complaint of chest pain considered to be secondary to myocardial ischemia, use of nitrate therapy, or ECG with pathological Q waves"
    • Excludes: "patients with prior coronary revascularization procedures were categorized as having ischemic heart disease only if they had any of the other criteria"
  • history of congestive heart failure
  • history of cerebrovascular disease
  • preoperative treatment with insulin
  • preoperative serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dL

The RCRI has been validated among patients undergoing surgery for peripheral arterial disease.[4]

The RCRI has been validated among patients although exploratory analyses suggested that adding age and surgical details would improve the model.[3] In this study, surgery risk was assigned using an adaptation of the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association 2002[5] guidelines:

  • high risk (aortic)
  • intermediate-high risk (abdominal; ear, nose, throat; neurologic; pulmonary; renal transplant; vascular, excluding aortic and carotid)
  • low-intermediate risk (orthopedic, urologic)
  • low risk (breast, carotid, dental, endocrine, eye, gynecology, reconstructive)
