Stable CAD (Coronary artery disease)

Find all the latest content on stable coronary artery disease (stable CAD) published on this website.

A complex and changing disease state requiring wide expertise, stable CAD can involve a diverse range of underlying chronic or evolutionary stages involving full use of all available tools, devices and techniques like those for invasive imaging and functional assessment. Taking into account underlying comorbidities such as diabetes is critical. Advances in imaging techniques, as well as the use of adjunctive pharmacotherapy, vascular access or invasive interventions such as bypass surgery, are important, as are understanding bleeding risks, all of which can be found here…

Surgeons have been for many years the only interventionalists. The only “doctors” to dare enter the body and mechanically intervene on structures to cure or improve quality of life. The link between surgeons and interventional cardiologists is very strong. Many surgeons contributed to the development of...
