The Gupta Perioperative Cardiac Risk Assessment (MICA) tool is designed to estimate a patient's individualized risk of myocardial infarction (MI) or cardiac arrest within 30 days following noncardiac surgery. This evidence-based tool is invaluable for clinicians, including surgeons, anesthesiologists, and internal medicine specialists, involved in preoperative patient evaluation. By integrating key clinical risk factors into a comprehensive scoring system, MICA provides robust quantitative risk stratification. Its primary value lies in facilitating informed shared decision-making with patients, optimizing perioperative management strategies, and guiding resource allocation to enhance patient safety and outcomes through proactive identification of high-risk individuals.
