Abstract
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), subsequent myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure constitute a leading cause of death in the western world. Myocardial ischemia is the major component underlying these cardiovascular diseases. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is heterogenic and comprises acute ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI), Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina. Whilst ECG and laboratory diagnostics are first line tests to perform it is well recognized that non-invasive techniques such as cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and computer tomography (CT) can be of additional value particularly in the setting of unstable angina.
