Abstrakt: The article discusses a study examining the role of cardiopulmonary fitness and its genetic influences on surgical outcomes. A medline search was performed and relevant English language articles published between 1980 and 2005 were retrieved. It is concluded that the development of preoperative screening methods like cardiopulmonary exercise testing and genotype analysis to identify index factor may permit better patient satisfaction, provide targets for future tailored treatments and so improve surgical outcomes.
