Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategies for Stable Coronary Artery Disease Following the ISCHEMIA Trial.

ABSTRACT: Until recently, coronary revascularization with coronary artery bypass grafting or percutaneous coronary intervention has been regarded as the standard choice for stable coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly for patients with a significant burden of ischemia. However, in conjunction with remarkable advances in adjunctive medical therapy and a deeper understanding of its long-term prognosis from recent large-scale clinical trials, including ISCHEMIA (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness With Medical and Invasive Approaches), the approach to stable CAD has changed drastically. Although the updated evidence from recent randomized clinical trials will likely modify the recommendations for future clinical practice guidelines, there are still unresolved and unmet issues
