The optimal assessment and management of patients presenting with recent onset chest pain is achieved by acquiring information about the coronary anatomy and physiology, enabling decisions to be made based upon evidence of ischaemia at a patient-level and at lesion-level. There are robust data indicating that the visual assessment of stenosis severity alone does not provide enough information…

The outcomes of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have improved in recent years with the more widespread adoption of definitive reperfusion therapies, including rapid recanalisation of the infarct-related artery with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Nonetheless, despite the near universal restoration of normal epicardial flow following primary PCI for STEMI…

The role of platelets in coronary artery thrombosis is well-established.1 They also play a critical role in a number of cardiovascular conditions including stroke, peripheral vascular disease and diabetes, and may be involved in the pathology underlying atherosclerotic changes.1 Antiplatelet agents such as clopidogrel, a platelet P2Y12 receptor antagonist, and aspirin are used for the prevention…

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a noninvasive tool capable of directly visualising the coronary anatomy with high sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) for coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to invasive coronary angiography (ICA).1,2 Recent innovations in computed tomography (CT) technology have led to the rapid development of CCTA and its selection as an anatomic…
