ORBITA-2 will enrol patients who meet all 3 of the following criteria: 1. Angina or angina-equivalent symptoms 2. Anatomical evidence of significant coronary stenosis in at least one vessel, either: a. Invasive diagnostic coronary angiogram indicating ≥ 70% stenosis b. CT coronary angiography indicating ≥ 90% stenosis 3. Evidence of ischaemia, arising from at least one of the following options: 1. Positive dobutamine stress echocardiography 2. Positive cardiac MRI perfusion scan 3. Positive nuclear medicine myocardial perfusion scan 4. Invasive pressure wire assessment suggestive of ischaemia, as judged by the interventional cardiologist, at the time of diagnostic angiogram or research angiogram
