Revascularization in Older Persons with Chronic CAD Acute Risks: CABG Mortality % Mortality Cheitman M, et alAm J Geritri Cards 2001;10:207-223
Appropriate Use Criteria J Am Coll Cardiol 2009; 53;530-553 Available at http://www.acc.org
What are Appropriateness Use Criteria? • Define “what to do”, “when to do”, and “how often to do” in the context of local care environments combined with patient and family preferences and values • Address misuse, overuse and underuse • Connected to guideline content • Imply a level of detail and complexity that extends beyond the current recommendations
Appropriateness Use Criteria Modified Rand/Delphi Methodology Define “Appropriateness” for Coronary Revascularization The WritingCommittee “Coronary revascularization is appropriate when the expected benefits, in terms of survival or health outcomes (symptoms, functional status, and/or quality of life) exceed the expected negative consequences of the procedure”
Framework for Decision MakingFive Core Variables Highrisk LM +3v CAD STEMI Class IV Max A MEDICAL Rx SYMPTOMS STABILITY ANATOMY ISCHEMIA U I Stable angina Class I ASx None Low risk No sig.CAD None
Clinical Scenarios –Patients without prior CABG Revascularization CTO of 1 v (in the absence of other disease)or 1-2 v disease (no LAD) Asymptomatic or low risk noninvasive findings = U I
SharedDecision-making • Collaboration in decision-making between physician and patient • Physician’s role: Communicate information on harms/benefits of test or treatment • Patient’s role: To provide information about values, preferences, lifestyle, beliefs • Goal: Treatment decisions are evidence-based and are reflective of the patient’s values and preferences
Willingness to Consider an Invasive Cardiac Procedure by Age Alexander K 2006
Importance of Quality of Life versus Quantity of Life “ It is with the elderly that some of the contradictions of modern medicine are cast in clearest relief. ….It is a rare older individual who has not accepted his or her mortality. In this light, the concept of ‘conquering disease’ loses some of its romance.” - James Goodwin MD Goodwin, JAMA, 1997
“What are the most important goals from the treatment of your heart disease?”
Patient Case 85 year old female, small NSTEMI, 3 vessel disease • Ischemic burden on stress testing • Medical therapy options • PCI and CABG options • Expectation for relief from angina for each • “Customized” to patient’s needs and values
Advanced Coronary Heart Disease: Scope of the Problem in an Aging Population Conclusions • Advanced CAD is increasingly a greater challenge in CV medicine • High morbidity and mortality • The elderly and those with advanced CAD should receive evidenced based treatment strategies in ACS • Appropriate medical therapies are underused • A targeted invasive approach may be of benefit, if focused on quality of life • A multi-disciplinary approach is required that involves physical and emotional support
