Guide to Clinical Preventive Services, Second Edition Cardiovascular Diseases Screening for Asymptomatic Coronary Artery Disease RECOMMENDATION There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against screening middle-aged and older men and women for asymptomatic coronary artery disease, using resting electrocardiography (ECG), ambulatory ECG, or exercise ECG. Recommendations against routine screening can be made on other grounds for individuals who are not at high risk of developing clinical heart disease (see Clinical Intervention). Routine screening is not recommended as part of the periodic health visit or pre-participation sports examination for children, adolescents, or young adults. Clinicians should emphasize proven measures for the primary prevention of coronary disease (see Clinical Intervention). Burden of Suffering Angina is the most common presenting symptom of myocardial ischemia and underlying CAD, but in many persons the first evidence of CAD may be myocardial infarction or sudden death.4 It has been estimated that 1-2 million middle-aged men have asymptomatic but physiologically significant coronary disease, also referred to as silent myocardial ischemia.4,5 Accuracy of Screening Tests There are two screening strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality from CAD. The first involves screening for modifiable cardiac risk factors, such as hypertension, elevated serum cholesterol, cigarette smoking, physical inactivity, and diet (see Chapters 2, 3, and 54-56). The second strategy is early detection of asymptomatic CAD. The principal tests for detecting asymptomatic CAD include resting and exercise ECGs, which can provide evidence of previous silent myocardial infarctions and silent or inducible myocardial ischemia. Thallium-201 scintigraphy, exercise echocardiography, and ambulatory ECG (Holter monitoring) are less commonly used for screening purposes. The efficacy of each of these tests may be evaluated by (a) its ability to detect atherosclerotic plaque, and (b) its ability to predict the occurrence of a serious clinical event in the future (acute MI, sudden cardiac death).

Services Offered Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is a time-tested procedure used to "detour" blood flow around blocked arteries. All forms of bypass surgery involve the removal of a "clean" vessel (graft) from the leg, chest, or arm, and attaching it to the areas around the blocked artery in order to restore blood flow. The goal of the surgery is to improve blood flow and alleviate chest pain and other symptoms. University of Chicago Hospitals Cardiac Center heart surgeons regularly perform bypass surgery and are using innovative techniques that have allowed them to offer bypass as an option to patients not traditionally considered candidates for the procedure. Below are the types of bypass surgeries offered by Cardiac Center heart surgeons: Beating-Heart Bypass Surgery Beating-heart bypass surgery (also called off-pump bypass) is a new way to perform bypass surgery that offers many advantages over the traditional method. Beating-heart bypass is performed without the use of a heart-lung bypass machine. This method uses a special device that stabilizes the part of the heart the surgeon is operating on. The rest of the heart continues to beat while the surgeon operates. Some advantages of this procedure include the following:
