May 25, 2023 – The newly released 2023 Multimodality Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) for the Detection and Risk Assessment of Chronic Coronary Disease re-emphasizes the central role of SPECT and PET MPI in patient-centered testing.

SPECT and PET MPI are appropriate first-line tests for patients with –

Likely anginal symptoms
Prior coronary artery revascularization with anginal or anginal-equivalent symptoms
A prior anatomic test (catheterization or CCTA) that is inconclusive or shows moderate stenosis
A coronary artery calcium score of 100 or higher
New-onset heart failure

Stay tuned to ASNC for more guidance on how to implement the new AUC in your practice.
