The Report of ASNC-JSNC Joint Symposium in JSNC 30th Annual Scientific Meeting.

Abstract

A SNC-JSNC joint symposium has been one of the highlight sessions in JSNC annual meetings. This joint session in 30 th annual meeting was held on Dec. 19 th , entitled “Clinical Significance of Measurement of Flow Reserve in the Multi-modality Era” modulated by Dr. Nanasato and me. Recently, revises in European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guideline (1) and new evidence of ISCHEMIA trial (2) may bring dramatic change in diagnostic strategy and medical care for coronary artery disease (CAD). In such revolutions, the precise evaluation of physiological coronary flow by noninvasive imaging modalities is becoming more important. In this joint symposium, we invited four experts in coronary flow measurement by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging or computed tomography (CT) for the comprehension and future prospects of these modalities.
