Update in the management of coronary artery disease.
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: We review several approaches that represent contemporary coronary disease management including noninvasive coronary imaging, selection of patients for revascularization, assessment of coronary lesions for physiologic significance and vulnerability to future ischemic events, and strategies to improve the safety of revascularization procedures. Better understanding of the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis has made secondary prevention therapies among patients with established coronary disease the highest priority, and we also discuss this evolution.
