In this video, Dr Carlos Collet (Cardiovascular Center OLV-Aalst, Aalst, BE) outlines the findings of the UZ Clear study, originally presented at CRT 2022. The UZ Clear study was designed to analyse the diagnostic performance of non-invasive cardiac stress tests to detect coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients. Dr Collet reveals that around half the patients presenting with chest pain had…

Up to 50% of patients who undergo elective coronary angiography for stable chest pain symptoms that are mainly related to exercise and typical enough to suggest the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) are found to have normal or near-normal coronary arteries.1 The mechanisms responsible for angina chest pain in these patients are heterogeneous; accordingly, their identification…

The application of nuclear medicine techniques to cardiology is based on the identification of the functional consequences of coronary stenoses, i.e. of myocardial ischaemia. In nuclear cardiology, the evaluation of myocardial perfusion with single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) is the most commonly performed procedure. The SPECT study is currently performed with electrocardiogram …

During the last few years we have been facing a revolution in the field of cardioimaging for both diagnostic and short- and long-term prognostic purposes. The introduction of multislice computed tomography (CT) in clinical practice has allowed us to carry out non-invasive coronariography or, when performed without contrast agents, the imaging of coronary artery calcification. Arteriosclerosis can…

Women with angina but no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) at coronary angiography have long been considered a low-risk population.1–3 Instead, data from the Women‘s ischaemia syndrome evaluation (WISE) study4 demonstrated that persistent chest pain (PChP) – also in the absence of CAD – is not a benign condition. These patients experienced major cardiovascular (CV) events, such as…

The investigation of chest pain involves more than determining coronary anatomy. Discussions about whether non-invasive imaging might replace coronary angiography for the display of coronary anatomy must not detract from the fact that clinical assessment and dynamic functional imaging by echocardiography or nuclear imaging are at least equally important. Often, the need for imaging coronary…
