AB Patients  with  coexisting  systemic  disease  may  be  at  a  higher  risk  for  specific  perioperative  complications  related  to  surgery  and  anesthesia.  Regional  anesthesia  is  often  thought  of  as  being  particularly  beneficial  in  patients.  However,  the  physiologic  changes  that  occur  with  some  regional  anesthesia  techniques  must  be  understood  and  viewed  within  the  context  of  an  individual  patient’s  pathophysiology  so  that  the  technique  used  provides  maximum  patient  benefit  and  reduces  the  risk  of  complications.  This  chapter  focuses  on  the  pathophysiology  of  systemic  diseases  frequently  encountered  by  the  regional  anesthesiologist  and  discusses  the  interplay  between  common  regional  anesthesia  techniques  and  patient  disease.
