Abstract

Accurate and early detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) is essential, as the disease remains one of the leading causes of death in the industrialised world. For this purpose, several invasive as well as noninvasive modalities are available. The current gold standard to detect significant narrowing of the coronary arteries is invasive coronary angiography, which allows direct visualisation of the coronary arteries with high spatial and temporal resolution. In addition, if abnormalities are demonstrated, direct intervention is possible. However, it is also an invasive technique that is associated with substantial patient discomfort, costs and a small but distinct risk of potentially life-threatening complications.
