ACS Guidelines | Closer to a Universal Document | JACC

JACC's June 10 dedicated issue on the ACS guidelines, author and former JACC Editor-in-Chief Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, MACC, speaks with current JACC Deputy Editor Rasha Al-Lamee, MD concerning the recent ACC/AHA ACS guidelines. Dr. Fuster speaks to this comprehensive update aligning more closely with international (especially ESC) standards in acute coronary syndrome care. The interview and accompanying commentary publishing in the June 10 issue speaks to the importance of improved methodological rigor, global stakeholder inclusion, and alignment in key recommendations (e.g., DAPT duration), while also allowing greater transparency in controversial decisions and envisioning the potential for a future universal ACS guideline.
