The first statement for optimal timing of patients waiting for cardiac surgery was published in 2000. Since then, after significant changes in the management of some pathologies, new normative frameworks and the current healthcare situation, a review of the timing criteria to offer an adequate and updated standard of care is needed. In this document we aim to review the available literature in the field and stablish a consensus within a working group of the Spanish Society of Cardiovascular and Endovascular Surgery to optimize the priority recommendations in cardiac surgical waiting lists in our country.10 p.application/pdfengcc by-nc-nd (c) Martín Gutiérrez, Elio et al., 2022http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Cirurgia cardíacaMortalitatGestió hospitalàriaHeart surgeryMortalityHospital administrationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article2023-06-20info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
