Abstract
Patients with ischemic heart disease account for about 50 per cent of all patients with cardiac disease in our clinic.
We have recently used our own evaluating method for patients who have ischemic heart disease before oral surgery. In our evaluation method, we use the Master's test and risk factors, and combine the results. The incidence of complications during and after oral surgery was 5 cases among the patients with ischemic heart disease treated from 1983 to 1995. In 4 out of these 5 cases, Master's test were positive and 1-3 risk factors were added by our method.
