    AbstractThe 2022 European Society of Cardiology guidelines on cardiovascular assessment and management of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery are intended for physicians involved in the perioperative care of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery, in whom heart disease is a potential source of complications.

This article summarises the guidelines, highlighting the aspects most relevant to medical staff preparing patients for surgery.
