There is limited data available regarding the risk for perioperative cardiac morbidity following pelvic reconstructive surgery (PRS). We sought to determine the incidence of cardiac arrest and myocardial infarction within 30 days of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery and determine which factors may contribute to an increased risk of these complications. ⋯ The rate of MICA is low following PRS. Additional studies are necessary to determine whether more extensive preoperative cardiac evaluation is warranted in this patient population.
