“…Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the greatest causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. It accounts for roughly one-half of all cardiovascular deaths [ 1 , 2 ]. Although tobacco use and lipid metabolism disorder are the classical risk factors for CAD, some studies have found that CAD shows strong familial aggregation, and a gene variant is also a key risk marker for CAD patients [ 3 , 4 ].…”

“…Frailty is an emerging concept; collaborative efforts towards defining the optimal method towards measuring frailty and disability deserve further exploration. Multidisciplinary teams involving cardiac surgery, cardiology, geriatric medicine, physiotherapy and occupational therapy may help address the diverse elements specific to the elderly that contribute to increased risk [ 32 ]. A 64-slice-coronary computed tomography shows promise as a non-invasive alternative to the standard coronary angiography to detect CABG graft stenosis [ 33 ].…”

“…Furthermore, a high prevalence (54%) of additional atherosclerotic lesions distant from the culprit lesion was found by intravascular ultrasound imaging . Therefore, multivessel coronary artery atherosclerosis is encountered frequently in clinical practice . In such cases, differentiating ischemia‐producing lesions from the others is critical, because ischemia‐guided revascularization has been shown to have more favorable clinical outcomes than those with anatomical revascularization because it avoids inappropriate procedures or under‐treatment of ischemia‐producing lesions .…”
