Abstract

: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide, with a high socioeconomic impact. Currently, various guidelines and recommendations have been published about chronic coronary syndromes (CCS). According to the recent European Society of Cardiology guidelines on chronic coronary syndrome, a multimodal imaging approach is strongly recommended in the evaluation of patients with suspected CAD. Today, in the current practice, non-invasive imaging methods can assess coronary anatomy through coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and/or inducible myocardial ischemia through functional stress testing (stress echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, single photon emission computed tomography-SPECT, or positron emission tomography-PET). However, recent trials (ISCHEMIA and REVIVED) have cast doubt on the previous conception of the management of patients with CCS, and nowadays it is essential to understand the limitations and strengths of each imaging method and, specifically, when to choose a functional approach focused on the ischemia versus a coronary anatomy-based one. Finally, the concept of a pathophysiology-driven treatment of these patients emerged as an important goal of multimodal imaging, integrating 'anatomical' and 'functional' information. The present review aims to provide an overview of non-invasive imaging modalities for the comprehensive management of CCS patients.
