Stop guessing whether to order that preoperative EKG. This guided decision tool walks you through the 2024 ACC/AHA logic one question at a time and hands back a clear recommendation — Indicated, Reasonable, May be Considered, Not Indicated, or "your existing EKG already suffices" — in about thirty seconds.
It doesn't just give a verdict. Every answer comes with the reason, the guideline Class of Recommendation, and the citation, plus a tap-to-open rationale that explains the risk tiers and what counts as a major adverse cardiac event. You're not taking its word for it — you're seeing the logic.
And it's built to be fast at the bedside. There's no age, weight, or gender to enter; it asks only what it needs and short-circuits the moment the answer is settled — low-risk surgery ends the flow before it ever asks about conditions. It's also honest where the guidelines are: it tells you when age doesn't matter, when a severe-CAD patient still doesn't need an EKG before cataract surgery, and when a recent EKG already has you covered.
