Abstract :
[en] The Guidelines for Myocardial Revascularization of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) are the very first reported consensus document, by a writing committee balanced between non-interventional and interventional cardiologists as well as cardiac surgeons, on this specific issue. Given the strong impact that ischaemic heart disease has on the survival and quality of life of the individual as well as the economic implications for society, the importance of the ESC/EACTS guidelines is obvious.
