Abstract
<jats:sec> <jats:title>Aim:</jats:title> <jats:p>The “2024 AHA/ACC/ACS/ASNC/HRS/SCA/SCCT/SCMR/SVM Guideline for Perioperative Cardiovascular Management for Noncardiac Surgery” provides recommendations to guide clinicians in the perioperative cardiovascular evaluation and management of adult patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods:</jats:title> <jats:p>A comprehensive literature search was conducted from August 2022 to March 2023 to identify clinical studies, reviews, and other evidence conducted on human subjects that were published in English from MEDLINE (through PubMed), EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and other selected databases relevant to this guideline.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Structure:</jats:title> <jats:p>Recommendations from the “2014 ACC/AHA Guideline on Perioperative Cardiovascular Evaluation and Management of Patients Undergoing Noncardiac Surgery” have been updated with new evidence consolidated to guide clinicians; clinicians should be advised this guideline supersedes the previously published 2014 guideline. In addition, evidence-based management strategies, including pharmacological therapies, perioperative monitoring, and devices, for cardiovascular disease and associated medical conditions, have been developed.</jats:p> </jats:sec>

Kamrouz Ghadimi
Dr. Kamrouz (Kam) Ghadimi is an experienced cardiovascular acute care specialist (cardiovascular anesthesiology and intensive care), established investigator, physician leader, and associate professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care at Duke Health.
His clinical practice is rooted in the cardiothoracic surgical ICU and operating rooms. He has broad expertise in all topics involving perioperative cardiovascular medicine and intensive care, including the management of acutely ill patients after surgery or those receiving extracorporeal life support (ECLS/ECMO). His specific area of expertise focuses on the enhancement of blood circulation through the lungs and the reversal of bleeding with prevention of thrombosis after surgery and circulatory life support. He has published original research, invited reviews, and guidance documents in several high-impact multidisciplinary journals and networks, including JAMA, Circulation, BMJ, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation, and Journal of Thrombosis & Haemostasis. He has also published in anesthesiology specialty journals, including Anesthesia & Analgesia, Anesthesiology, Current Opinion in Anesthesiology, and the British Journal of Anaesthesia. Dr. Ghadimi has served on the Editorial Board for the Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia since 2018 and has served as a peer reviewer for more than 30 top-medical journals worldwide.
Over his career, he has developed a global multidisciplinary network of collaborators and colleagues in academic medicine, private practice, larger healthcare systems, and offices of the federal government. He has experience with grant funding from a variety of sponsors, including federal, industry, foundation, philanthropy, and institutional sources. He also holds positions on several other national and international committees aimed at improving cardiovascular health in patients undergoing surgery and post-surgical intensive care. He is a selected task force and writing committee member of the 2024 American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association Perioperative Cardiovascular Guidelines. He has devoted the majority of his career to the service of patients requiring cardiovascular perioperative and surgical intensive care.
In addition to a doctorate in Medicine, Dr. Ghadimi holds a Bachelor’s in Economics from Boston University and a Master’s in Clinical Research from Duke University School of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. He is also an inventor with patents/patents pending, a medical consultant, a mentor, and an investor. He is a founding member and the original academic director of True Learn, an eLearning company focused on board exam preparation for multiple medical subspecialties. This resource is used by many physicians around the country. Beyond developing an educational platform that has reached several thousand physicians and physicians-in-training, Dr. Ghadimi has formally mentored 22 pre-doctorate and post-doctorate trainees, with several mentees continuing their faculty careers in academic practice. In addition, he serves as a resource for a multitude of other physicians, physicians-in-training, and allied healthcare professionals.
Currently, Dr. Ghadimi serves as Director of the Clinical Research Unit for the Department of Anesthesiology at Duke Health, leading a cohesive, high-performing management team that oversees 45 staff working with Anesthesiology faculty and faculty in other departments to operationalize more than 80 innovative research protocols annually (single- and multi-site studies) to advance the fields of perioperative medicine, intensive care, pain management, and brain and heart health. He is leading digital health and artificial intelligence implementation in research workflow to rapidly leverage capabilities for automation and efficiency with the evolving guidance of cybersecurity compliance. He has also led the expansion of the Human Biospecimen Repository within the Department of Anesthesiology, where participants from prospective studies have generously donated biofluids and tissue for the advancement of disease-specific biology and translational research. Dr. Ghadimi is currently involved in the One Duke Gen precision medicine initiative for Duke Health to catalyze high-impact translational discoveries through expansive data-driven partnerships.
