Yоu аre perfоrming а pre-оperаtive evaluation on a patient who has presented with a left femur fracture after suffering a fall on the ice.  The patient is a 72 year old man with HFpEF, HTN, HLD and DM2.  Orthopedic surgery has been consulted and would like to proceed to the OR within the next 24 hours for definitive fixation of the femur.  He denies chest pain, pressure or shortness of breath.  His calculated perioperative risk of Major Adverse Cardiac Event (MACE) is 3.1%.  When asked about activity, he reports that he goes for a 3 mile walk with his wife ever day.  He uses a push mower to tend to their lawn and frequently ascends and descends the stairs at their home without difficulty.     Based on the above information, what is your recommendation regarding next steps for testing according the the ACC/AHA Pre-operative Risk Assessment Algorithm?
