Describes the process for developing appropriateness criteria for cardiovascular imaging in Europe by the ESC and EACVI.
Promotes standardized cardiovascular imaging use in Europe; extends prior guidelines via systematic, patient-centered criteria development.
There is a growing interest from the scientific community in the appropriate use of cardiovascular imaging techniques for diagnosis and decision making in Europe. To develop appropriateness criteria for cardiovascular imaging use in clinical practice in Europe, a dedicated taskforce has been appointed by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI). The present paper describes the appropriateness criteria development process.

Garbi et al. (2014) studied Cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular imaging appropriateness criteria development was evaluated. The ESC and EACVI established a dedicated taskforce to develop patient-centered, evidence-based appropriateness criteria for the use of cardiovascular imaging modalities in clinical practice across Europe.
