Brief Summary: Non-cardiac surgery is associated with significant cardiac morbidity and mortality Volatile anesthetics have a cardioprotective effects which results in preservation of left ventricular function and lower troponin I levels Lower troponin release has been correlated with better long term event free survival in both cardiac and non cardiac surgery A recently completed meta-analysis suggests that sevoflurane is a superior volatile agent The evidence of a cardioprotective effect in non-cardiac surgery is lacking Base on the current literature we intend to evaluate the protective potential of sevoflurane versus propofol anesthesia in high risk patients undergoing elective non-cardiac procedures

Hypothesis The use of Sevoflurane as a general anesthetic reduces postoperative troponin release the incidence of myocardial infarction andor long term morbidity in patients at low to moderate risk of postoperative cardiac complications who are undergoing noncardiac surgery
