  1. EuroScore II:  EuroSCORE stands for European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation. It identifies a number of risk factors which help to predict mortality from cardiac surgery. The original EuroSCORE calculator was published in 1999, derived from an international database of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The EuroSCORE II calculator was released for use on October 3, 2011 at the European Association of Cardiothoracic Surgery meeting in Lisbon. The original calculator is used worldwide for both the measurement of risk and as a benchmark for the assessment of quality of cardiac surgical services. There are more than 1300 formal citations of the EuroSCORE in the medical literature. The previous additive and logistic EuroSCORE versions are now inappropriately calibrated but have remained powerfully discriminatory. Nevertheless, there is evidence that discrimination may be improved further by refining and modifying some of the risk factors, such as renal dysfunction. Therefore, the new EuroSCORE II calculator was developed to optimize its useful application in contemporary practice. The EuroSCORE II calculator is to be used as an educational tool only, and it should not be viewed as a substitute for the opinion of expert Cardiac Surgeons and Cardiologists. Clinical judgement must be used whenever rare risk factors are present. The risk model provides a set standard, and units and surgeons will perform at, above or below the standard. Best practice in quoting risk to patients is to adjust the risk calculated by EuroSCORE II to the results achieved by the unit in question. The application is meant to be used as a tool to guide discussions with patients, families, and healthcare providers regarding the potential outcomes after open heart surgery. Free Download

  5. CVSurgery Risk iPhone App: The CV Surgery Risk Calculator. Cardiac surgery has inherent risks. This application is designed to estimate the risk of morbidity and mortality following the most common types of open heart surgery. This includes coronary bypass surgery, aortic and mitral valve surgery, and combined valve-bypass surgery. This calculator calculates risk based on the results of large numbers of patients, but is not a substitute for the opinion of expert Cardiac Surgeons and Cardiologists. The application should be used as a tool to guide discussions with patients, families, and health care providers regarding the potential outcomes after open heart surgery. Edward Bender, MD, Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Saint Francis Medical Center, Missouri and ARMUS Corporation, in the field of clinical data collection, analysis, and reporting for cardiac surgery and cardiology presents this app on iTunes.  Free Download
  6. CTCaseLog: (Free Download) This i-app was designed for the practicing Cardiothoracic surgeon to keep a record of operations that he or she has performed. The app closely mirrors the case log available on the American Board of Thoracic Surgery website, including adult cardiac cases, congenital cardiac cases, general thoracic cases, and vascular cases. There are enhanced and expanded lists of pediatric cardiac diagnoses and procedures, along with more detailed vascular surgical procedures. CT Case Log enhances the capabilities of case logging by adding the ability to add photographs to the saved case log. These photos can be obtained from the user’s camera roll or photos can be taken using the device’s camera directly. Please note that all cases are stored in a fashion to protect the identity of the patient, and the user should be cautious to prevent breaking patient confidentiality rules by including private or identifying information in photographs. Available on iTunes Store and free to download.
