Transthorcic Echocardiography, Stable Angina Pectoris, Coronary Artery Disease, Major Adverse Cardiac Events, Invasive Coronary Angiography
Conditions
Brief summary
The investigator aims to prospectively enroll patients who were referred for transthorcic echocardiography (TTE) for the assessment of stable chest pain (SCP) suspected of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). All patients underwent TTE according to established guidelines and local institutional protocols. This study will determine if TTE-based imaging evaluation can provide more informaton to improve clinical management for SCP, including fewer MACE and better decision-making of downstream investigations and therapeutic interventions.
Interventions
All patients underwent TTE according to established guidelines and local institutional protocols. The imaging data were evaluated using different image post-processing software to comprehensively analyse anatomical, functional and histological information of coronary.
