Dear. I think you are worried about your cardiac risk in your surgery. For most surgeries to assess cardiac risk we use revised cardiac risk scores. You can read about it. Besides that we also use the following points. Can you walk two blocks or 1 flight of stairs without having breathing difficulty? are you on aspirin? do you have chest pain or any ecg abnormalities? is your serum creatinine levels increased? are you a diabetic on insulin? do you have any history of stroke? but by large piles operation is usually not a major surgery please and the risk of having any significant cardiac complications will be low. Your anesthetist will be able to guide you better with your pre op check up.
