Chronic Coronary Syndrome

Chronic Coronary Syndrome encompasses the broad spectrum of long-term coronary artery disease characterized by stable ischemia, progressive atherosclerosis, microvascular dysfunction, and fluctuating symptom burden. This session provides a comprehensive framework for diagnosing, evaluating, and managing stable angina, endothelial dysfunction, and long-term coronary risk. As demand grows for a structured cardiology conference, this session clarifies how chronic ischemic syndromes differ from acute events while requiring equally meticulous management.

Participants will explore the pathophysiology of plaque evolution, impaired vasomotor function, microvascular angina, and supply-demand mismatch. Case-based discussions demonstrate how to interpret stress testing modalities, coronary CT angiography, functional flow assessment (FFR/iFR), and biomarkers. The content also describes challenges associated with atypical symptoms, female-specific presentations, and comorbidities that alter symptom perception.

A major part of this session centers on implementing comprehensive chronic coronary management strategies. These include anti-anginal therapy, lipid optimization, blood pressure control, antiplatelet therapy, diabetes management, lifestyle modification, and cardiac rehabilitation. Participants will review updated guidelines, indications for revascularization, shared decision-making in stable disease, and tools for improving long-term adherence.

The session concludes with discussions on risk-based follow-up, digital monitoring, patient education, and preventing destabilization. By the end, clinicians will be equipped to deliver individualized chronic coronary care that reduces events and improves quality of life.

Key Components of CCS Management

Understanding Atherosclerosis Progression

  • Recognizing how plaque evolves from stable to high-risk without overt symptoms.
  • Integrating imaging and clinical data to characterize disease burden.

Diagnostic Pathways for Ischemia

  • Applying stress imaging, coronary CT, and functional indices.
  • Identifying microvascular and vasospastic contributors.

Optimizing Medical Therapy

  • Tailoring anti-anginals, statins, ACE inhibitors, and antiplatelets.
  • Aligning treatment with comorbid conditions and preferences.

Long-Term Follow-Up and Lifestyle Measures

  • Monitoring symptom evolution and therapy response.
  • Reinforcing lifestyle interventions and ongoing rehabilitation.

Benefits to Patients and Systems

Improved Symptom Control
Effective therapy reduces angina episodes and enhances activity levels.

Reduced Long-Term Cardiovascular Events
Risk-factor optimization and adherence slow disease progression.

More Personalized Care Plans
Integrating functional and anatomic data tailors therapy precisely.

Lower Emergency Utilization
Proactive management prevents destabilization and acute events.

Enhanced Patient Education
Clear explanations build trust and promote engagement.

 

Better Integration With Rehabilitation
Rehab improves outcomes for chronic coronary patients.
