We examined the diagnostic and treatment strategies in patients with known or suspected ACS as reported by physicians and identified variations in responses across European countries and geographical areas.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>A web\u2010based clinician survey focusing on ACS imaging and revascularization treatments was circulated through email distribution lists and websites of European professional societies in the field of cardiology. We collected information on respondents' clinical setting and specialty. Reported percentages of patients receiving imaging or treatment modalities and percentages of clinicians reporting to use modalities in a range of clinical scenarios were analyzed. Statistical comparisons were performed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In total, 69 responses were received (Sweden [n = 20], United\u2009Kingdom [n = 16], Northern\/Western Europe [n = 17], Southern Europe [n = 9], and Central Europe [n = 7]). Considerable variations between geographical areas were seen in terms of reported diagnostic modalities and treatment strategies. For example, when presented with the scenario of a theoretical 45\u2010year\u2010old smoking female with a suspected ACS, 56% of UK clinicians reported to use coronary computed tomography angiography, compared to only 10% of Swedish clinicians (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .002). Large variations were observed regarding the reported use of fractional flow reserve by physicians for non\u2010culprit lesions during invasive management of myocardial infarction patients (44% in Sweden, 31% in the United\u2009Kingdom, and 30% in Northern\/Western Europe vs non\u2010use in Central and Southern Europe).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this survey, respondents reported different diagnostic and treatment strategies in ACS care. These variations seem to have geographic components. Larger studies or real world data are needed to verify these observations and investigate their causes. More research is needed to compare the quality and efficiency of ACS care across countries and explore pathways for improvement.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jep.13333","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,29]],"date-time":"2020-01-29T08:46:52Z","timestamp":1580287612000},"page":"1457-1466","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["European survey on acute coronary syndrome diagnosis and revascularisation treatment: Assessing differences in reported clinical practice with a focus on strategies for specific patient cases"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3666-9542","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne\u2010Claire","family":"Peultier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Technology Assessment, Erasmus School of Health Policy and Management Erasmus University Rotterdam  Rotterdam The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dimitrios","family":"Venetsanos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coronary Artery and Vascular Disease, Heart and Vascular Theme, Department of Medicine Karolinska Institute and Karolinska University Hospital  Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Imran","family":"Rashid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences King's College London  London UK"},{"name":"Case Cardiovascular Research Institute Case Western Reserve University  Cleveland Ohio"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Johan L.","family":"Severens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Technology Assessment, Erasmus School of Health Policy and Management Erasmus University Rotterdam  Rotterdam The Netherlands"},{"name":"Institute for Medical Technology Assessment Erasmus University Rotterdam  Rotterdam The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William K.","family":"Redekop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Technology Assessment, Erasmus School of Health Policy and Management Erasmus University Rotterdam  Rotterdam The Netherlands"},{"name":"Institute for Medical Technology Assessment Erasmus University Rotterdam  Rotterdam The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,29]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","DOI":"10.1136\/heartjnl-2013-305196"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.h3913"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","DOI":"10.1093\/ehjci\/jev116"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehv320"},{"doi-asserted-by":"publisher","key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1476-5381.2012.02101.x"},{"unstructured":"Healthcare Resource Statistics \u2013 Technical Resources and Medical Technology.
