GOBBO, Magali; MERETTA, Alejandro; CARVELLI, María Victoria  and  MASOLI, Osvaldo. Should We Continue to Consider Extent of Ischemic Myocardium in Chronic Coronary Syndromes?. Rev. argent. cardiol. [online]. 2024, vol.92, n.1, pp.64-68.  Epub Feb 28, 2024. ISSN 1850-3748.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7775/rac.es.v92.i1.20729.

In the last years, new scientific evidence related to chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) has led to reconsider the diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations that historically guided our medical practice.

However, it is important to point out that the disseminated information lacks a precise critical analysis, with the risk of incorporating new algorithms in clinical practice that might not be completely applicable to our population.

The present review analyses the available scientific CCS literature to establish whether the extent of ischemic myocardium has no real clinical and prognostic significance as reported in some publications.

Keywords : Chronic coronary syndromes; Ischem; - Revascularization.
