Dear Colleagues,

The issue of chronic coronary artery disease is always clear. These patients are at the intersection between clinical needs, the “offer” of technological advances, and the burden of concomitant illnesses. What are the patient expectations? What is the clinical yield of new technologies? When is revascularization worthwhile? To what extent should the patient in front of us enter a trial population? How can we take them to a lesser degree of anxiety, after having explained the full picture and put it in the right framework? How can we manage co-morbidities and related treatments? Should those treatments be pursued freely, or are there particular aspects to be considered? These are some of the main items facing physicians who take care of patients with chronic coronary artery disease. We believe that it is often difficult to choose the best pattern for every patient. A review of this subject should therefore be of interest to most readers.
