This review discusses the utility of various non-invasive imaging modalities to assess the functional significance of intermediate coronary stenoses in clinical practice.
Supports non-invasive imaging for intermediate stenoses; leaves open optimal modality selection pending comparative trials.
Key points of using non-invasive methods for evaluating myocardial ischemia (exercise electrocardiogram, stress echocardiography, single photon emission computed tomography and myocardial perfusion imaging with stress-test) in clinical practice to determine the functional significance of intermediate coronary artery stenoses (50-70% of the vascular lumen) are discussed in the review.
