Coronary Artery Disease

Enhance diagnostic confidence and therapeutic efficiency

of diagnostic angiographies show no relevant coronary lesions2

Coronary artery disease (CAD) demands effective and workflow-optimized interventions. Learn how you can personalize cardiovascular care and prepare for the future supported by our clinical expertise, technological excellence, and market foresight. Our testing, multimodality imaging, and therapy solutions can help prevent unnecessary invasive procedures along the CAD pathway. And innovations at the point of care expand opportunities to improve precision for patients. The digital competence of our portfolio helps interdisciplinary teams make faster care management decisions that can lead to improved clinical outcomes.

Patient stories

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease.1 While age can be a risk factor, coronary artery disease does not only affect old people. Younger people can also have a heart attack.

Novel insights into MINOCA and INOCA: Resolving diagnostic dilemmas

The complexities of diagnosing MINOCA and INOCA remain challenging. The CVC online webinar will highlight the added value of CMR, CT, and angio imaging in both acute and chronic ischemia without obstructive coronary arteries. Learn from experts Chiara Bucciarelli-Ducci, MD, and Colin Berry, MD, about the potential of diagnostic imaging for risk assessment and prognosis in MINOCA and INOCA patients.

Successfully implementing high-sensitivity cardiac troponin

Join Professor Fred Apple and Nicholas Mills as they explain the diagnostic strategies for using a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assay and review evidence-based literature that supports implementation of high-sensitivity troponin testing in clinical practice. Profsessor Apple and Mills will also discuss the latest ESC and NICE guidelines and how these recommendations impact their interpretation perspectives.

What is the optimal approach to stratify risk and investigate patients after myocardial infarction has been ruled out?

Watch our CVC webinar and get insights from the experts Michelle Williams, MD, and Prof. Nicolas Mills, MD into troponin-guided Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiography after exclusion of myocardial infarction.

Frequently Asked Questions 


We offer both static and real-time stent enhancement with ClearStent and ClearStent Live, respectively. Both options are available on all our systems without the need of an additional workstation and can also be used via the footswitch. Users of ARTIS icono and ARTIS pheno have the possibility to choose between two ClearStent Live options – one eliminating cardiac movement in the enhanced view and one overlaying the enhanced view on live fluoro. For more information please visit our ClearStent Live website. 


Yes, we offer syngo CTO Guidance to support you in performing CTO cases with shorter wiring times and shorter fluorosopy duration. For more information please visit our syngo CTO Guidance website.


The use of syngo CTO Guidance is independent of scanner brand. For more information, please visit our syngo CTO Guidance website.


With Sensis Vibe, hyperemic and nonhyperemic calculation methods are seamlessly integrated into our recording system. The gold standard FFR, resting Pd/Pa and the Boston Scientific algorithm DFR are integrated. Siemens Healthineers also offers angio-based FFR with the standalone CAAS vFFR workstation on all our systems and the integrated QuantWeb vFFR as part of our syngo Application Software on ARTIS icono and ARTIS pheno. For more information, please visit our vFFR website.
