Abstract
- Stable angina is a chronic, systemic disease with a wide range of associated symptoms and clinical outcomes. Prompt diagnosis can be challenging for clinicians. Typical chest pain caused by stable angina occurs when the myocardium receives inadequate oxygen, resulting in myocardial ischemia. Various diagnostic tools including non-invasive tests such as coronary computed tomographic angiography and image-based stress tests have evolved over the last decade. An important factor in the selection of the proper diagnostic test for stable angina is assessment of the pre-test probability in the event of possible coronary arterial stenosis.
