Abstract
Significant regional variation in procedural frequencies has led to the development of the RAND and American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines; however, they may be difficult to apply in clinical practice. The University of Maryland Revascularization Appropriateness Score (RAS) was created to address the need for a simplified point scoring system.
