About

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a global health concern with high prevalence, morbidity and mortality rate. This Editorial initiative is focused on the current diagnostic approaches in the comprehensive assessment of CAD including anatomic and functional evaluation of the whole coronary circulation.

Authors are encouraged to focus on the latest advancements in research across the field of invasive and non-invasive methods for evaluation of epicardial CAD and coronary microvascular disease. To address the growing population of CAD patients, new diagnostic methods and approaches are being investigated in order to achieve better clinical outcomes and symptom alleviation in this population. The goal of this Research topic is to offer a broad overview of the current diagnostic methods, to shed light on the unmet clinical needs and provide directions for new research topics.

We are interested in original research articles covering the following topics:
1) Anatomic and functional evaluation of epicardial CAD.
2) Invasive and non-invasive methods for the evaluation of CAD (including but not limited to coronary angiography, computed tomography angiography, echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, PET, SPECT).
3) Evaluation of coronary microvascular disease.
4) Multi-modality imaging in the evaluation of coronary artery disease.
