2021 ACC/AHA/SCAI Guideline for Coronary Artery Revascularization now published!

Here are my top takeaways!

Thread/

jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…
2/ For stable CAD and left main stenosis, CABG is recommended (Class 1). PCI is a reasonable option if low-medium anatomic complexity and if equally suitable to PCI compared to CABG (Class IIa)
3/ In general, revascularization is recommended (Class 1) for stable ischemic heart disease for 1) refractory angina despite medical therapy, 2) left main disease, 3) ischemic cardioyopathy and suitable for CABG. See this figure for details

Link to paper:

Here are my personal takeaways!

2/ First, huge congratulations to the chair @DrMarthaGulati, vice-chairs Drs. Levy and Mukherjee and the writing committee including @DLBHATTMD, @RonBlankstein @RBP0612 @labunne @ErikHessMD @docHj @lesleejshaw. Incredible work! Not an easy task to put this together..
3/ Let’s start with acute chest pain in the ED. The committee advise against using the term atypical chest pain; instead favoring categorizing as cardiac, possibly cardiac, and non-cardiac chest pain. I like this concept a lot!

My 15 highlights 💡from the 2020 ESC NSTE-ACS guideline:

1. Hs troponins recommeded over conventional assays 🧪
2. ESC 0'1 and 0'2 algorithms preferred over 0'3
3. TTE recommended for all patients.
4. If rule-out using ED algorithm but still have concern for ACS, a non-invasive modality is preferred to invasive coronary angio
5. Pre-treatment with P2Y12 not recommended prior to invasive coronary angiogram
6. Prasugrel preferred over ticagrelor if undergoing PCI 💊
7. Both preferred over clopidogrel unless not available
8. UFH preferred to LMWH for NSTEMI 💉
