📊 JAMA Clinical Guidelines Synopsis: The 2024 guideline from the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology addresses perioperative cardiovascular medication management for adult patients undergoing noncardiac surgery.

Recommendations include continuing statins and β-blockers for patients already receiving them, initiating statins in those with established or elevated atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk, and withholding sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors 3-4 days before surgery to reduce metabolic acidosis risk.

Perioperative aspirin is recommended only for patients with prior percutaneous coronary intervention, with initiation discouraged for others due to increased bleeding risk.

💬 Viewpoint by Y. Tony Yang, ScD, LLM, MPH, and William Sage, MD, JD: Twenty-five years after the Institute of Medicine’s “Crossing the Quality Chasm,” US health care has achieved measurable technical improvements but largely relied on incremental interventions rather than structural transformation.

While electronic health record adoption, infection reductions, and value-based payment reforms are significant, persistent health disparities, rising administrative burden, and limited progress in equity and patient-centeredness indicate the original vision remains unfulfilled.

The system’s efforts have often filled rather than bridged the quality chasm, highlighting the need for integrated, parsimonious quality improvement and foundational change.
