Abstrakt: Heart failure (HF) is a complex syndrome of considerable burden with high mortality and hospitalization rates. Approximately two-thirds of patients with HF have ischemic etiology, which makes crucial the identification of relevant coronary artery disease (CAD). Moreover, patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) can first show signs of dyspnea and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. If establishing a diagnosis of HF and consequent management is clear enough, it will not be the same when it comes to recommendations for etiology assessment. Ischemic heart disease is the most studied disease by cardiac multimodality imaging with excellent diagnostic performance. Based on this aspect, the high prevalence of CAD, the worst outcome-HF patients should undergo a diagnostic work-up using these multimodality imaging techniques. The aim of this mini-review is to provide insights on multimodality imaging for diagnosing CCS in patients with new onset of HF and propose a diagnostic work-up based on current international studies and guidelines.
