DIAGNOSTICS OF CHRONIC CORONARY HEART DISEASE

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a pathological process caused by both obstructive and non obstructive atherosclerotic lesions of the epicardial arteries. The disease can have a long chronic course, but it can also be sharply destabilized, usually due to acute atherothrombosis caused by plaque rupture or erosion. The modern classification of ischemic heart disease is based on described features, according to which acute (ACS) and chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) are distinguished. This article provides an overview of modern approaches to the diagnosis of CCS.
