Excerpt
The American College of Cardiology, together with other specialty and subspecialty societies, has recently published Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) for the Detection and Risk Assessment of Chronic Coronary Disease (CCD) [
1]. The document updates the 2013 AUC for the management of Stable Ischemic Heart Disease (SIHD) [
2] and covers the use of radionuclide imaging, stress echocardiography (echo), coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and calcium scoring, stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), and invasive coronary angiography. The document aims to complement clinical practice guidelines and aid clinicians in decision-making for common clinical scenarios in CCD and implement best practices in patient care. Recommendations are given for symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with a spectrum of scenarios in each of the two categories. …
