is Guideline attempts to define principles of practice that should produce
high-quality patient care. It is applicable to interventional cardiologists,
primary care, and providers at all levels. is Guideline should not be
considered exclusive of other methods of care reasonably directed at obtaining
the same results. e ultimate judgment concerning the propriety of any
course of conduct must be made by the clinician aer consideration of each
individual patient situation. Neither IGC, the medical associations, nor the
