Scientific Evidence Underlying the ACC/AHA
Clinical Practice Guidelines
Level of Evidence A in only 12%
 Study Question: What is the evolution of recommendations in
ACC/AHA cardiovascular guidelines and the distribution of
recommendations in relationship to the levels of evidence?
 Methods: Fifty-three guidelines on 22 topics, including a total
of 7,196 recommendations, were abstracted.
Quantity, yes!!
The proportion

whichmuch….
there is no
Quality,
not
conclusive evidence is also growing.
 Conclusions: Recommendations in current ACC/AHA practice
guidelines are largely developed from lower levels of evidence
or expert opinion.
•
 These findings highlight the need to improve the process of
writing guidelines and to expand the evidence base from which
clinical practice guidelines are derived.

Disclaimer?
 First, PCI is a technique that has been continually refined
and modified; hence, continued, periodic guideline
revision is anticipated.
 Second, these guidelines are to be viewed as broad
recommendations to aid in the appropriate application of
PCI. Under unique circumstances, exceptions may exist.
• The ultimate judgment regarding care of a particular patient must
be made by the healthcare provider and patient in light of all of
the circumstances presented by that patient.
 These guidelines are intended to complement, not
replace, sound medical judgment and knowledge.

2009 Appropriateness Criteria for
Coronary Revascularization
Manesh, R.P. et al. J. Am. Coll. Cardiol. published online Jan 5, 2009
The Role of Appropriate Use Criteria for Coronary
Revascularization
 AUC are developed to determine whether a particular approach
to care is reasonable in a given clinical scenario. This is partly in
response to a growing concern from payers and patients
regarding the potential overuse or misuse of advanced
technologies for cardiovascular care.
 In some areas of practice guidelines, the level of evidence is
reduced to group consensus due to the lack of “hard” data from
randomized controlled trials. The same holds true for cardiac
catheterization and coronary revascularization when one tries to
extrapolate and apply study findings to real world scenarios. For
this reason, there is substantial variation in the application of
these procedures.

Unlike prevention and treatment
strategies supported by evidence-based
practice guidelines, the evidence base
for imaging is anecdotal, fragmented,
and lacking in prospective clinical trials.
Appropriateness Criteria
for Coronary Revascularization
 scored on a scale of 1 to 9
• Scores of 7 to 9 indicate that revascularization was
considered appropriate and likely to improve health
outcomes or survival
• Scores of 1 to 3 indicate revascularization was
considered inappropriate and unlikely to improve health
outcomes or survival
• Mid range (4 to 6) indicates likelihood that coronary
revascularization would improve health outcomes or
survival was considered uncertain.
 17-member technical panel
• 4 interventional cardiologists, 4 CVr surgeons, 8 cardiologists,
others who treat patients with cardiovascular disease, health
outcome researchers, and 1 medical officer from a health plan
underuse was common (57% according to panel A
and 71.3% according to panel B), and not
undergoing coronary angiography was associated
with higher coronary event rates than was
undergoing the procedure.

The Megapixel Myth
8.1 Megapixel Digital Camera
 For normal 4x6 prints, even VGA is just fine. Digital
cameras did this back in 1991!
 Sharpness depends more on your photographic skill
than the number of megapixels
 Sharpness has little to do with image quality, and
resolution has little to do with sharpness. Resolution
(pixel count) has nothing to do with picture quality.
Color and tone are far more important technically.
 The megapixel myth was started by camera makers and
swallowed hook, line and sinker by camera measurebators. Camera makers use the number of megapixels a
camera has to hoodwink you into thinking it has
something to do with camera quality.
However, it is critical for
everyone and especially
payers to understand that
the AUC were never
intended to be the final
answer in determining
payment for procedures
