A multisociety guideline reported in Circulation addresses perioperative cardiovascular evaluation and management of adults undergoing noncardiac surgery. Developed under the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Joint Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines, it updates recommendations from the 2014 guideline.

The guideline used a comprehensive literature search conducted from August 2022 through March 2023. Searches covered English-language human studies, reviews, and other relevant evidence from MEDLINE through PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and selected additional databases. The abstract describes evidence-based strategies encompassing pharmacological therapies, perioperative monitoring, and devices for cardiovascular disease and associated conditions.

The supplied abstract states that this guideline supersedes the 2014 document, but does not provide individual recommendations, recommendation classes, evidence levels, or quantitative outcomes. Full text was unavailable, preventing assessment of specific practice changes. The supplied 2026 publication designation and citation should be verified before dissemination.
