In the 2019 European Society of Cardiology guidelines, chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) was introduced as a new term for stable coronary artery disease. Diagnosis, treatment and prevention of CCS have undergone major changes. In the diagnostic management of CCS, there is increased focus on non-invasive imaging modalities, including coronary CT angiography. Based on the risk of thrombosis and bleeding, choice and duration of antithrombotic treatment should be individualised, especially following coronary revascularisation.
