“Patients can be categorized by risk factors and clinical stability into early invasive or ischemia-guided strategies. An early invasive strategy—diagnostic angiography followed by revascularization (primarily with PCI), as appropriate—is indicated for stabilized patients who are at high risk of coronary events, whereas an ischemia-guided approach is indicated for stabilized patients with lower risk scores and is based on patient and physician preferences.” AAFP 2017
