Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a significant health concern globally, characterized by the narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries due to atherosclerosis. However, up to half of patients undergoing coronary angiography for suspected myocardial ischemia and about 8% of patients with myocardial infarction have unobstructed coronary arteries. Thus, management of patients with myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction is complex and involves a comprehensive assessment of risk factors, symptoms, and invasive and non-invasive diagnostic tests. Treatment strategies aim to alleviate symptoms, prevent complications, and improve overall prognosis. Interventions may include lifestyle modifications, pharmacotherapy, percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary artery bypass grafting, tailored to individual patient needs. Multidisciplinary collaboration among cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and other healthcare professionals is crucial. Advances in research continue to enhance our understanding of pathophysiology, both in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or chronic coronary syndrome (CCS), and refine treatment approaches, emphasizing personalized medicine and precision interventions.
