AbstractIn August 2019, ESC published new guidelines on Chronic Coronary Syndromes including a new risk assessment paradigm for estimation of pre-test-probability. The CAD-score is an acoustic-based score for ruling-out of coronary artery disease (CAD). In the current letter to the editor we re-evaluate the re-classification potential the CAD-score in the view of the new guidelines.

Abstract. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the industrialized countries. Assessment of symptomatic patients with suspected obstructive CAD is a common reason for a clinical visit. Noninvasive anatomical and functional imaging are established tools to rule-in and rule-out CAD, to assess the severity of disease and to determine the potential risk of future cardiovascular events. In this review, we discuss the updated Guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology on Chronic Coronary Syndromes and explore the different imaging modalities used in current clinical practice for the noninvasive assessment of CAD. The pros and cons of each method, especially comparing anatomical and functional testing, are presented. Furthermore we we address the practical clinical aspects in the selection of the optimal noninvasive tests according to clinical need.
