Abstract

Thoracic pain is the most prevalent symptom in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Diagnosis and patient management are guided by the pain attributes, analytical parameters, and several different imaging modalities. Invasive imaging tests and cardiac magnetic resonance are highly relevant in this context, as set out in the 2023 European guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndromes, the 2023 American guidelines for the management of patients with chronic coronary disease, and the 2021 American guidelines for the evaluation and diagnosis of chest pain. This article focuses on the role that these guidelines attribute to non-invasive cardiac imaging (computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance) in the management of both acute and chronic coronary syndrome.

Keywords:
Acute coronary syndromes
Thoracic pain
Chronic coronary syndromes
Computed tomography
Magnetic resonance
Resumen

El dolor torácico es el síntoma más frecuente de las enfermedades cardiovasculares. Las características del dolor, parámetros analíticos y la utilización de diferentes modalidades de imagen orientan el proceso diagnóstico y el manejo del paciente. Según la guía europea de síndrome coronario agudo (2023) y las guías americanas de manejo del síndrome coronario crónico (2023) y la de dolor torácico (2021), las pruebas de imagen invasivas y la resonancia magnética cardíaca adquieren una gran relevancia. En este artículo nos centraremos en el papel de la imagen cardíaca no invasiva (tomografía computarizada y la resonancia magnética cardíaca) en el manejo del síndrome coronario tanto agudo como crónico, según las guías anteriormente mencionadas.
