From the Guidelines

A 0.1% Gupta risk signifies a low risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during or after non-cardiac surgery, with a probability of less than 1% as defined by the 2024 AHA/ACC/ACS/ASNC/HRS/SCA/SCCT/SCMR/SVM guideline 1. This risk score is categorized as low risk, indicating that combined surgical and patient characteristics predict a low risk of MACE 1. The Gupta risk calculator incorporates various factors to generate this percentage, providing a useful tool for predicting perioperative cardiac complications 1. Some key points to consider with a 0.1% Gupta risk include:

  • The risk of MACE is minimal, and standard perioperative monitoring and care should still be maintained
  • No special cardiac testing or interventions are typically needed before proceeding with surgery for patients with this low risk level
  • The risk score is reassuring for both patients and surgical teams, indicating a very low probability of experiencing major adverse cardiac events during or after non-cardiac surgery 1. Key factors that influence the Gupta risk score include:
  • Age
  • Functional status
  • Creatinine levels
  • ASA class
  • The type of surgery planned These factors are used to generate the percentage, which in this case is 0.1%, indicating a low risk of MACE 1.
