Overview

Review highlights advances in cardiac imaging methods, improving outcomes for chronic coronary syndrome patients.

Key Points

  • Chronic coronary syndrome can cause myocardial ischemia, which occurs when the heart doesn't receive enough blood.
  • Coronary computed tomography angiography has revolutionized diagnosis, helping to identify high-risk plaques effectively.
  • Assessment using stress echocardiography shows 85-95% sensitivity in detecting ischemia-related wall motion abnormalities.
  • AI-driven tools like CT-derived fractional flow reserve may reduce unnecessary invasive angiographies by up to 25%.
  • These imaging techniques contribute to better risk stratification and management of chronic coronary syndrome.
