A 68-year-old male with a history of stable angina (managed with sublingual nitroglycerin PRN), hypertension, and well-controlled type 2 diabetes is scheduled for elective cataract surgery. He reports no change in his angina frequency or severity. What is the most appropriate pre-operative cardiac evaluation?
✓ Correct Answer: Option C
For low-risk surgery (like cataract surgery) in a patient with stable cardiac conditions and good functional capacity (can perform activities of daily living without symptoms), no further cardiac testing is typically needed according to current guidelines. The Revised Cardiac Risk Index would classify this as low risk.
