Preop Eval vs DAPT Risk Calculator
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Preop Eval
This app provides guidance for evaluating and preparing adult patients for non-cardiac surgery. It includes algorithms and resources on medication management, cardiac event timing, and preoperative testing, serving as both a reference and a teaching tool for medical professionals.
- Cardiac evaluation algorithm
- Medication guidance (starting/stopping)
- Surgery timing after cardiac events
- Preoperative testing recommendations
- Review for students and residents
- Perioperative insulin management

Preop Eval organizes and presents much of the guidance that one needs in order to evaluate and prepare adult patients for non-cardiac surgery. It is based upon the guidelines on this topic from the American College of Cardiology, the European Society of Anaesthesiology, the American Society of Anesthesiologists, the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement, the American College of Chest Physicians, and more (full references in the app). The app contains 1 algorithm and 3 resources: the cardiac evaluation algorithm, guidance on starting and stopping key medications in the perioperative period, guidance on timing of surgery after cardiac events, and guidance on preoperative testing. It also contains a review of preoperative evaluation mainly for students and residents. The app addresses such common questions as: - who needs bloodwork before surgery? - who needs an EKG or a CXR? - how do I handle patients on warfarin, clopidogrel, and DOAC's? - which patients need adjustment of perioperative insulin and diabetic meds, and how? - which active cardiac conditions preclude surgery? - how long after MI or stent should a patient wait before surgery? - are there adjustments to make on psych meds, rheumatologic meds, ACE's and ARB's? This app is written and intended for practicing physicians like internists, family physicians, and hospitalists; for resident physician trainees; and for medical students. In addition to being a reference, the algorithm is written to be a teaching tool by not just delivering an answer, but instead walking a physician through the evaluation process so that one learns that process along the way. As an educator and clinician, I am interested in feedback and I would be grateful for guidance on improving the tool.
DAPT Risk Calculator
This tool helps clinicians assess the risk and benefit of continuing dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for patients at least 12 months post-PCI. It provides a numerical DAPT Risk Score and calculates the percentage risk for key cardiovascular events.
- DAPT Risk Score calculation
- Risk/benefit analysis for DAPT continuation
- Percentage risk for MI
- Percentage risk for Stent Thrombosis/MACCE
- Percentage risk for Bleeding

The ACC DAPT Risk Calculator provides clinical decision support for clinicians evaluating the continuation of DAPT therapy for patients at least 12 months post-PCI procedure, and the risk/benefit of continuing or discontinuing DAPT. The App provides a DAPT Risk Score as a numerical value between -2 and +9, where a Higher DAPT scores suggest that the benefit/risk ratio with prolonged DAPT may be favorable. Conversely, lower DAPT scores suggest that the benefit/risk ratio with prolonged DAPT is NOT favorable. The clinical decision support tool also calculates the percentage of risk for three end points: - Myocardial infarction (MI) - Stent thrombosis, major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) - Bleeding
