Core Tip
Core Tip: Current evidence shows that elderly patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) are more prone to developing perioperative cardiac complications. As healthcare professionals refine and evolve screening methods to identify patients with MG at risk of developing perioperative cardiac events due to autonomic dysfunction, the integration of screening for antistriational antibodies becomes crucial. In addition, assessing left ventricular function in the preoperative period may result in successful outcomes in these patients.
