December 29, 2016 — The American College of Cardiology (ACC), along with several partnering organizations, recently released updated appropriate use criteria for performing coronary revascularization in patients with acute coronary syndromes.
Patients with acute coronary syndromes suffer from sudden, reduced blood flow to the heart, requiring quick diagnosis and care. Coronary revascularization is the restoration of this blood flow to the heart commonly by coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
