PARIS, France—There are new European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines out today for the diagnosis and management of what’s now being termed “chronic coronary syndromes” (CCS). To get the best experience using our website we recommend that you upgrade to a newer version. The ESC indicates that “the clinical presentations of CAD can be categorized as either acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or CCS,” and that “CAD is a dynamic process” of atherosclerosis and altered arterial function “that can be modified by lifestyle, pharmacological therapies, and revascularization, which result in disease stabilization or regression.” CCS is also viewed as a type of out-of-hospital counterpart to ACS.The updated guidelines define six clinical scenarios that reflect the heterogeneous nature of CCS, each defined by its own set of diagnostic and therapeutic concerns, as follows:Suspected CAD with "stable" anginal symptoms, with or without dyspneaSuspected CAD with new-onset heart failure symptoms or left ventricular (LV) dysfunctionAsymptomatic or stabilized symptomatic within 1 year of an ACS episode or following recent coronary revascularizationAsymptomatic or symptomatic more than 1 year after the initial diagnosis or revascularizationAngina and suspected vasospastic or microvascular diseaseThe new phrase “clinical likelihood of CAD” uses various CAD risk factors as modifiers of pretest probability (PTP).Any views expressed above are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect the views of WebMD or Medscape.Click the topic below to receive emails when new articles are available.
FFR and iFR are shown to predict the strength of the PCI effect on ischaemia, but this is only clearly seen on blinded stress echo evaluation and is not visible in the symptom scores or exercise times.Results at two months show that PCR signals a significant reduction in angina frequency and improvement of QoL, exceeding what was seen in ORBITA, but without patient blinding.Results from the first patient-level pooled analysis of all existing trials comparing FFR-guided PCI with contemporary stents, versus medical therapy alone, demonstrate improved hard outcomes.

EuroPCR 2018, the annual Course of the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI), a branch of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), will take place in the Palais des Congrès in Paris, France, from 22 to 25 May.“Until now, the prognostic role of PCI in patients with chronic coronary syndromes is still unclear and has been questioned. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a pathological process characterized by atherosclerotic plaque accumulation in the epicardial arteries, whether obstructive or non-obstructive.
Chronic coronary syndromes (CCS), of which angina pectoris is an important symptom, have a major societal impact, affecting our patients’ quality of life (QoL) with reduced physical endurance, mental depression, and recurrent hospitalisations and office visits.
