Functional capacity assessment has played an important role in perioperative risk assessment since the inception of the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical State classification system (ASA PS) in 1941. 1 The original intent of the ASA PS was to create a composite measure of the patient’s comorbidity burden and focus on the patient’s condition rather than the risk associated with the surgical procedure itself, known as “operative risk.” The ASA PS included an estimate of functional capacity to assist in identifying patients who would be high risk, with patients with poor functional capacity associated with a higher ASA PS class. Subsequent evaluations of ASA PS with and without a functional capacity evaluation have demonstrated that the addition of functional capacity to ASA PS improves the prediction of perioperative mortality. 2Functional capacity assessment specifically for cardiac risk prediction appeared in the first version of the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) practice guidelines for the perioperative cardiovascular evaluation for noncardiac surgery in 1996. 3 The addition of functional capacity assessment was based on its ability to predict future cardiovascular events. In particular, the rationale for using functional capacity relied on a study from 1984 that identified mortality risk for patients with cardiovascular disease in the Coronary Artery Surgery Study (CASS). 4 Patients unable to achieve 5 metabolic equivalents (METs), Bruce stage I, on a treadmill exercise test with associated ST-segment depression≥ 1 mm had a subsequent 5% yearly mortality. Conversely, patients who were able to exercise into Bruce stage 3 or greater and had ST-segment depressions< 1 mm had an annual mortality< 1%. Similar results have been found in other studies, which supports the association between a poor functional capacity and subsequent cardiovascular mortality. 5, 6 Stage I of the Bruce exercise treadmill protocol involves walking at a speed of 1.7 mph (2.74 km/h) on a gradient of 10%. The estimated MET value for the energy cost of walking at a Bruce stage I is roughly 4.6 METs, which is how the< 4 MET threshold became established as a cutoff for poor functional capacity. 7
