Abstract
On applying the 2012 updated AUC, about 5 % of overall elective PCI were deemed as 'inappropriate'. About four in every five elective PCI in the non-ACS setting were of 'uncertain' appropriateness. The implementation of the GHIS not only significantly reduced the gender bias and delay in seeking interventional coronary care but also led to a significant rise in the proportion of PCI performed in the ACS setting. However, there was also a rise in 'inappropriate' PCI in the ACS setting and a significant fall in 'appropriate' PCI in the non-ACS setting after introduction of the GHIS..
