Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As you all know, coronary artery disease (CAD) is a global health problem. Not only is it problematic for individuals in terms of suffering and impaired quality of life but is also a life-threatening situation once it becomes unstable. CAD is also problematic for society in terms of costs for healthcare, sickness benefits, and lost productivity. There are many recent large randomized clinical trials addressing CAD, from questioning the benefits of its treatment to new information regarding its benefits not only for reduction in mortality and impact on life expectancy, but especially for improvement in the quality of life of patients.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to discuss the current assessment for CAD, including new data and new technical approaches and technologies. With the improvement of intravascular imaging, new atherectomy options, and new devices, the focus of this issue will be on non-pharmacological approaches. The scope of the issue is deliberately broad to encourage coverage of a wide range of topics and perspectives related to the management of CAD.
