Summary
This study will examine the degree of blood thinning (platelet function) in patients coming for non-cardiac surgery on antiplatelet agents using platelet function tests called thromboelastography (TEG) and platelet mapping assay (PMA) and major cardiac complications that occur any time after surgery (perioperative).
