A study has found that while the severity of ischaemia correlates poorly with daily angina symptoms in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), the development of coronary collateral circulation is associated with both the ischaemic burden and reduced intensity of ischaemic chest pain.¹ This may help explain the often-observed disconnect between stenosis severity and patient-reported… View more

While clinical trials typically report average health outcomes at specific time points, a new secondary analysis of the ISCHEMIA trial has delved into the individual patient journeys of angina symptoms over time. The study identified six distinct patterns of angina trajectories, revealing that an initial invasive strategy is associated with more favourable symptom pathways compared to a… View more

For patients with suspected angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA) or ischaemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA), the diagnostic pathway can be challenging. A new study suggests that while exercise electrocardiography stress testing (EST) has limited ability to confirm underlying microvascular disease, its high negative predictive value makes it a valuable tool for… View more
