Hypertension and chronic heart failure are clinical conditions that greatly impact perioperative adverse outcomes of patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Although the first does not have a major impact on morbidity and mortality, it is the most frequent condition present in these patients. The second—chronic heart failure—is increasing in prevalence, with the ageing of the population and with the identification of incipient structural cardiac abnormalities, and has a major impact on the perioperative morbidity and mortality. For those reasons, the proper identification of these conditions in the perioperative setting is imperative in order to diminish perioperative adverse events. This chapter summarizes the current indications for identification, assessment of heart function and of cardiac markers, and the therapeutic management of these patients.
