Whenexercisetestingiscombinedwithimaging(e.g.,echocardiography),andthetestisnormalat thetargetheartrateforage,theriskofinfarctionordeathfromCVDis<1%annuallyinpatients withnopriorhistoryofIHD. Inpatientswhocannotexerciseandrequirepharmacologictesting,theannualriskofinfarctionor death in a normal study, doubles (i.e., 2% per year). This underscores the inability to perform physicalactivityasamarkerofincreasedcardiovascularrisk.
Pharmacologicstresstesting
Inpatientswhoareunabletoexercise,pharmacologicstresstestingmaybepreferable. Pharmacologic stressispreferredinpatientswith leftbundle branch block (LBBB)or a paced rhythm on ECG. This is dueto the increased incidence of false-positive stress tests seen with eitherexerciseordobutamineinfusion. Dipyridamole,adenosine,andregadenosonare vasodilatorscommonlyusedinconjunctionwith myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. Relative ischemia across a coronary vascular bed is

Dobutamineisapositiveinotropecommonlyusedwithechocardiographicstresstestsandmaybe augmentedwithatropinetoachievetargetheartrateforage.
Stresstestingwithimaging
RecommendedforpatientswiththefollowingbaselineECGabnormalities:
Preexcitation(Wolf-Parkinson-Whitesyndrome) LVH LBBBorpacedrhythm Intraventricularconductiondelay RestingST-segmentorT-wavechanges PatientsunabletoexerciseorwhodonothaveaninterpretableECGatrestorwithexercise MaybeconsideredinpatientswithhighpretestprobabilityofIHDwhohavenotmetthethreshold ofinvasiveangiography
Imagingmodalities
Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI): Both PET (positron emission tomography) and SPECT
(single-photon emission tomography) use tracers that emit radiation detected by a camera in
conjunction with exercise or pharmacologic stress. PEThasbetter contrast and spatial resolution
than SPECT, but PET is much more expensive and less widely available. Perfusion imaging
comparesrestperfusiontostressperfusionimagestodiscernareasofischemiaorinfarct.Itcanbe
limitedbybodyhabitus,breastattenuation,andqualityoftheacquisitionandprocessingofimages.
SevereCADmaycausebalancedreductioninperfusionandanunderestimationofischemicburden.
Echocardiographic imaging: Exercise or dobutamine stress testing can be performed with
echocardiography to aid in the diagnosis of CAD. Echocardiography adds to the sensitivity and
specificityofthetestbyrevealingareaswithwallmotionabnormalities.Thetechnicalqualityofthis
studycanbelimitedbyimagingquality(i.e.,obesity).
Magnetic resonance perfusion imaging: MRI sequences obtained with contrast and vasodilator
stress testing (and very rarely exercise testing) provides viability assessment without additional
testing,aswell asevaluationforothercausesofmyocardialdysfunctionthatmaymimic IHD(i.e.,
sarcoidosisorinfiltrativecardiomyopathies).Canbeperformedinpatientswithimplantedcardiac
devices(i.e.,defibrillatorsandpacemakers).
DIAGNOSTICPROCEDURES
Coronaryangiography
Thegoldstandardforevaluatingepicardialcoronaryanatomybecauseitquantifiesthepresenceand
severityofatheroscleroticlesions,whichhasprognosticvalue.
Coronary angiography is invasive and associated with a small risk of death, MI,CVA,bleeding,
arrhythmia, and vascular complications. Therefore, it is reserved for patients whose risk–benefit
ratiofavorsaninvasiveapproachsuchas:
ST-segmentelevationMI(STEMI)patients Mostunstableangina(UA)/non–ST-segmentelevationMI(NSTEMI)patients Symptomatic patients with high-risk stress tests who are expected to benefit from revascularization ClassIIIandIVanginadespitemedicaltherapy(seeTable4-1) Survivorsofsuddencardiacdeathorthosewithseriousventriculararrhythmias SignsorsymptomsofHFordecreasedLVfunction
https://t.me/med1917
Anginathatisinadequatelycontrolledwithmedicaltherapyforthepatient’slifestyle Previouscoronaryarterybypassgrafting(CABG)orpercutaneouscoronaryintervention(PCI) Suspectedorknownleftmain(≥50%stenosis)orseverethree-vesselCAD To diagnose CADin patients with anginawho have notundergone stress testing due to a high
pretestprobabilityofhavingCAD(seeTable4-2) Canbeusedtoevaluatepatientswhoaresuspectedofhavinganonatheroscleroticcauseofischemia (e.g.,coronaryanomaly,coronarydissection,radiationvasculopathy). Functional significance of intermediate stenotic lesions (50%–70% narrowing) can further be assessedbyfractionalflowreserve(FFR)orinstantaneouswave-freeratio(iFR).
Both FFR and iFR are calculated by determining the ratio of pressure distal to the coronary
obstructiontothatoftheaorticpressure(flow)usingslightlydifferentmethods.
AnFFR≤0.8oriFR≤0.89isconsideredflowlimiting,andPCIdecreasestheneedforurgent
revascularizationforUAorMI,aswellasriskofrecurrentMI.
12
Whether PCI in stable IHD improves cardiovascular outcomes or symptoms compared to
medicaltherapyiscontroversial.
13
Anearlyinvasivestrategydidnotreducedeath,deathfromcardiovascularcauses,MI,ora composite of the three in stable IHD.14 These patients did have decreased angina and improvedqualityoflife.
Patientswithrecentacutecoronarysyndrome(ACS),severeangina,leftmaindisease,or leftventricularejectionfraction(LVEF)<35%wereexcluded. Physiological studies (FFR) were performed in only 20% of cases, and use of intravascular imaging (intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography) was not reported.
The use of physiological studies and intravascular imaging is associated withbetter
outcomesinPCI.
15,16
21% of patients assigned to a conservative strategy eventually underwent
revascularization. PCI for stable IHD did not improve survival, but was associated with decreased nonprocedural MI, unstable angina,andanginaina meta-analysis. However, there was an increasedincidenceofproceduralMI.
17
Measurement of LV filling pressures (diastolic function) and aortic and mitral valve gradients, assessmentofregionalwallmotionandLVfunction,andassessmentforcertainaortopathiescanbe accomplished by placing a catheter in theLV cavityor aorta directlyandmakingtheappropriate pressuremeasurementsand/orinjectionofcontrast. Contrast-induced nephropathy(CIN) occurs after 24–48 hours inupto5% of patientsundergoing coronaryangiography.Inmostpatients,creatininereturnstobaselinewithin7days.18Thefollowing areconsiderationsinthepreventionofCIN:
Thevolumeofcontrastmediausedshouldbeminimized. AllpatientsshouldreceivesomeCINprophylactictherapy:oralhydration,IVhydration,heldIV diuretics,andstatintherapyhaveprovenbenefit. Werecommenda3mL/kgbolusofnormalsalineatleast6hourspriortotheprocedurewitha1 mL/kgcontinuousinfusionrateuntilprocedurestart. N-Acetyl-l-cysteinehasnoadvantageoversimplehydrationforpreventionofCIN.
CoronaryCTangiography
AnoninvasivetechniqueusedtoestablishadiagnosisofCAD.Likecardiacangiography,itexposes thepatienttobothradiationandcontrastmaterial. UsesarterialphasecontrastCTimagestoevaluatecoronarystenosis.Whereavailable,aproprietary
https://t.me/med1917
softwarepackagecancalculateintracoronaryhemodynamicsakintoFFR. CThasa high negative predictivevalue,so it is bettersuitedtoruleout disease forsymptomatic patientswith a low pretestprobability forCAD,such asa patientwithrepeated emergencyroom admissionsforchestpainorpatientswithequivocalstresstestresults.
The 2021 AHA/ACC/ASE/CHEST/SAEM/SCCT/SCMR Guideline for the Evaluation and DiagnosisofChestPaingives CTaclass Iindicationforuse inintermediateriskpatients with acutechestpain,withoutknownCAD,toexcludeobstructiveCAD.
19
Mayassistinidentificationofcongenitalanomaliesofthecoronaryarteries. Due to diminished study quality, it is not useful inpatients with extensive coronary calcification (e.g.,elderly,oradvancedCKD),coronarystents,orsmall-calibervessels.
TREATMENT
Themajorgoaloftreatmentistoreducesymptoms. AnabsolutereductioninincidenceofMIorcardiacdeathinpatientswithstableIHDisaccomplished mainlythroughmedicaltherapyandnotrevascularization. Acombinationoflifestylemodification,medicaltherapy,andcoronaryrevascularizationcanbeused. A recommendedstrategyfor the evaluationandmanagement ofthe patient with stable anginacanbe foundinFigure4-1.

Figure 4-1  Approach to the evaluation and management of the patient with stable ischemic heart disease based on the
ISCHEMIA trial.Of note, patients with severe limiting angina, clinicalheart failure, or left ventricle (LV) dysfunction should
proceeddirectlytocoronaryangiographytodefineunderlyingcoronaryarterydisease.Patientswithoutthesefeaturesmayfirst
undergomedicaloptimizationwithguideline-directedmedicaltherapies(GDMT).Ifthepatientissatisfiedwiththeirsymptomson
optimal GDMT andistolerating treatment without significant side effects, coronary CTA shouldthen be obtainedto rule out
significant left main disease. If no significant left main disease is present, the patient may continue medical therapywithout
further testing or intervention. If significant left main disease is present, the patient should undergo cardiac catheterization.
Patientswhoarenotsatisfiedwiththeoutcomeofoptimal GDMTmayproceeddirectlytocardiac catheterization.Information
obtainedfromcardiac catheterizationshouldthenbeusedbya multidisciplinaryteamtodetermine whethercontinuedmedical
therapy,PCI,orCABGshouldbepursued.1CABGgenerallypreferredduetoknownsurvival advantageovermedicaltherapy
alone;however,ifthecoronarylesionsarenotcomplex,PCImayoffersimilarresultstoCABGbutwithahigherneedforfuture
revascularizations.2PCI shouldbereservedforpatientswhohavehigh-gradelesions,havesevere ischemia,andarerefractory
to medical therapy. CABG, coronary artery bypass grafting; CCS, Canadian Cardiovascular Society Classification (angina);

Medical treatment is aimed at improving myocardial oxygen supply, reducing myocardial oxygen demand, controlling exacerbating factors (e.g., anemia), and limiting the development of further atheroscleroticdisease. Medicaltreatmentoftenissufficienttocontrolanginalsymptomsinchronicstableangina.
Medications
Anti-ischemictherapy
β-Adrenergic antagonists (Table 4-7) control anginal symptoms by decreasing heart rate and
myocardialwork,leadingtoreducedmyocardialoxygendemand.
β-Blockerswithintrinsicsympathomimeticactivityshouldbeavoided. Dosagecanbeadjustedtoresultinarestingheartrateof50–60bpm. Use with caution or avoid in patients with active bronchospasm, atrioventricular (AV) block,
restingbradycardia,orpoorlycompensatedHF. Calciumchannel blockers can be used either inconjunction withor in lieuof β-blockers in the presenceofcontraindicationsoradverseeffectsasasecond-lineagent(Table4-8).
Calcium antagonists are often used in conjunction with β-blockers if the latter are not fully
effective at relieving anginal symptoms. Both long-acting dihydropyridines and
nondihydropyridineagentscanbeused.
Calciumchannelblockersareeffectiveagentsforthetreatmentofcoronaryvasospasm.
Nondihydropyridine agents (verapamil/diltiazem) should be avoided in patients with systolic
dysfunctionduetotheirnegativeinotropiceffects. Nitrates,eitherlong-actingformulationsforchronicuseorsublingual/topicalpreparationsforacute anginalsymptoms,aremoreoftenusedasadjunctiveantianginalagents(Table4-9).
Sublingualpreparationsshouldbeusedatthefirstindicationofanginaorprophylacticallybefore
engaginginactivitiesthatare knowntoprecipitateangina.Patientsshould seekpromptmedical
attentionifanginaoccursatrestorfailstorespondtothethirdsublingualdose.
Nitrate tolerance resulting in reduced therapeutic response may occur with all nitrate
preparations.Theinstitutionofanitrate-freeperiodof10–12hours(usuallyatnight)canenhance
treatmentefficacy.
ForpatientswithCAD,nitrateshavenotshownamortalitybenefit.
Nitrates are contraindicated (even in patients with ACS) for use in patients who are on
phoshodiesterase-5inhibitorsduetoriskofseverehypotension.Awashoutperiodof24hoursfor
sildenafilandvardenafiland48hoursfortadalafilisrequiredpriortonitrateuse. Ranolazineisindicatedforanginarefractorytostandardmedicaltherapyandhasshownbenefitin improving symptoms and quality of life. Ranolazine interacts with simvastatin metabolism and shouldnotbeusedtogether.
Secondarypreventionmedications
Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) (75–162 mg/d) reduces cardiovascular events, including repeat
revascularization,MI,andcardiacdeath,byapproximately33%.
20
ASA81mgappearstobesufficientformostpatients.
ASAdesensitizationmaybeperformedinpatientswithASAallergy.
Clopidogrel(75mg/d)canbeusedinthoseallergicorintolerantofASA.
https://t.me/med1917
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors(ACEinhibitors) and angiotensin receptorblockers (ARBs)havecardiovascularprotectiveeffectsthatreducetherecurrenceofischemicevents.
ACEinhibitortherapy,orARBsinthosewith ACEinhibitors intolerance,shouldbe usedinall
patientswithanLVEF<40%,hypertension,diabetes,orchronickidneydisease. Statinshavea markedeffectinsecondaryprevention, andall patients withIHDwhocantolerate therapyshouldbeonahigh-potencystatin(seeChapter3,PreventiveCardiology).
Insecondarypreventionofcoronaryheartdisease,statinshavethemostevidencedemonstratinga
robustmortalitybenefit. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors confer a mortality benefit to patients with IHD whose LDL levels remain >70 mg/dL despite high-intensity statins. Currently, expenseandinsurancecoveragelimittheuseofthisclassofmedications.
21
Ezetimibe also improves cardiovascular outcomes among patients withIHDwhose LDL remains >100mg/dLdespitehigh-intensitystatintherapy.

Revascularization
Coronaryrevascularization
Ingeneral,medicaltherapywithatleasttwoclassesofantianginalagentsshouldbeattemptedbefore medicaltherapyisconsideredafailureandcoronaryrevascularizationpursuedinstableangina. Relief of angina symptoms is the most common objective ofall revascularization procedures for stableangina. The indicationfor all revascularization procedures should consider theacuity of presentation, the
https://t.me/med1917
extent of ischemia, and the ability to achieve full revascularization. The selection of revascularizationshouldbetailoredtotheindividualpatientand,incomplexcases,includetheuse ofamultidisciplinaryheartteam. The choice between PCI and CABG surgery is dependent on the coronary anatomy, medical comorbidities,andpatientpreference.
Ingeneral,patientswithcomplexanddiffusediseaseordiabetesdobetterwithCABG,whereas
PCI in select patients with the proper coronary anatomy can provide comparable results as
CABG.
23
The Syntax Score is a validated angiographic model that can aid the clinician in determining
outcomesafterPCIorCABG.Ingeneral,patientswithaloworintermediateSyntaxScoredoas
wellorbetterwithPCIcomparedtoCABG24(availableathttp://www.syntaxscore.com/).
The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) score can help determine the risk of mortality and
morbidity associated with CABG and should be determined for all patients when considering
surgicalrevascularization(availableathttp://riskcalc.sts.org/). Revascularization is shown to improve survival in the following circumstances as compared to medicaltherapy:
CABG for >50% left main CAD that has not been grafted (unprotected). PCI is a reasonable
alternative for patients with left main disease if the patient is a poor surgical candidate (STS
score>5)andhasafavorablemorphologyforPCI(lowSyntaxScore).PCI,intherightclinical
context,canofferratesofMI,CVA,ordeathsimilartoCABG.
25
CABG for three-vessel disease or two-vessel disease that includes the proximal left anterior

CABGforpatients with two-vessel disease, not includingthe LADartery, ifthere is extensive
ischemia (>20% myocardium at risk)or inpatientswith isolated proximal LAD artery disease
whenaninternalmammaryarteryrevascularizationisperformed.
CABG,ascomparedtoPCIormedicaltherapy,inpatientswithmultivesseldiseaseanddiabetes,
ifaleftinternalmammaryarterytotheLADarterycanbeplaced.26PCImayoffersimilarsurvival
outcomes indiabetics with multivessel disease anda low SyntaxScore (<22) butdoes have a
higherneedforrepeatrevascularization.
27
PCI or CABGinpatients whohavesurvived suddencardiac deathduetoischemic ventricular
tachycardia(VT). Due tothe morbidity ofa repeat CABG, PCIis often used to improvesymptoms inpatientswith recurrentanginaafterCABG. The use of internal mammary artery grafts is associated with 90% graft patency at 10 years, comparedwith40%–50%forsaphenousveingrafts.Thelong-termpatencyofaradialarterygraftis 80% at 5 years. After 10 years of follow-up, 50% of patients develop recurrent angina or other adversecardiaceventsrelatedtolateveingraftfailureorprogressionofnativeCAD. TherisksofelectivePCIinclude<1%mortality,a2%–5%rateofnonfatalMI, and<1%needfor emergent CABG for an unsuccessful procedure. Patients undergoing PCI have shorter hospitalizationsbutrequiremorefrequentrepeatrevascularizationprocedurescomparedtoCABG. Elderly patients represent a unique population when considering revascularization due to comorbidities,frailty,thephysiologyofagingasitrelatestodrugmetabolismandcardiopulmonary function, andconcernover polypharmacy.Ingeneral, this populationhasbeenunderrepresentedin most trials but still derives benefitfrom revascularization to relieve symptoms. Frailty shouldbe heavily considered when considering a procedure or counseling about the benefits of revascularization. It is reasonable to revascularize selected patients with severe LV dysfunction (EF < 35%), as

Monitoring/Follow-Up
Closepatientfollow-upisacriticalcomponentofthetreatmentofCADbecauselifestylemodification andsecondaryriskfactorreductionrequireserialreassessmentandinterventions. Allpatientsshouldbeaggressivelytreatedforthetraditionalriskfactorsmentionedabove. Relativelyminorchangesinanginalsymptoms canbesafelytreated withtitration and/or additionof antianginalmedications. Significantchangesinanginalcomplaints(frequency,severity,ortimetoonsetwithactivity)shouldbe evaluated by either stress testing (usually in conjunction with an imaging modality) or cardiac angiographyaswarranted. Cardiacrehabilitationoranexerciseprogramshouldbeofferedorinstituted.
AcuteCoronarySyndromes,UnstableAngina,andNon–ST­SegmentElevationMyocardialInfarction
GENERALPRINCIPLES
Definition
NSTEMI and UA are closely related conditions whose pathogenesis and clinical presentations are similarbutdifferinseverity. Ifcoronaryflowisnotsevereenoughortheocclusiondoesnotpersistlongenoughtocausemyocardial necrosis(asindicatedbypositivecardiacbiomarkers),thesyndromeislabeledUA. NSTEMIisdefinedbyanelevationofcardiacbiomarkersandtheabsenceofST-segmentelevationon theECG. NSTEMI,likeSTEMI,canleadtocardiogenicshock. AHA/ACCguidelinesprovideamorethoroughoverviewofNSTEMI/UA.

Epidemiology
TheannualincidenceofACSis>780,000events,with70%beingNSTEMI/UA. AmongpatientswithACS,approximately60%haveUAand40%haveMI(one-thirdofMIspresent withanacuteSTEMI). At1year,patientswithUA/NSTEMIareatconsiderableriskfordeath( 6%),recurrentMI( 11%), and need for revascularization ( 50%–60%). It is important to note that although the short-term mortalityofSTEMIisgreaterthanthatofNSTEMI,thelong-termmortalityissimilar.
31,32
PatientswithNSTEMI/UAtendtohavemorecomorbidities,bothcardiacandnoncardiac,thanSTEMI patients. Women with NSTEMI/UA have worse short-term and long-term outcomes and more complications compared to men. Much of this has been attributed to delays in recognition of symptoms and underutilizationofguideline-directedmedicaltherapyandinvasivemanagement.
