Chronic coronary disease (CCD) refers to chronic heart or vascular disease caused by insufficient blood flow into or out of the heart. The incidence and mortality rates of CCD are high, resulting in significant personal, economic, and societal burdens. In July 2023, the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC), along with other academic organizations, jointly released the 2023 AHA/ACC/ACCP/ASPC/NLA/PCNA Guideline for the Management of Patients with Chronic Coronary Disease. This guideline provides a on the evidence-based and patient-centered approach to comprehensive management of patients with CCD. It covers the epidemiology of CCD, patient assessment, diagnosis, risk stratification, treatment, management of special populations, patient follow-up, and related considerations. The guideline emphasizes the importance of a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, and tobacco avoidance for cardiovascular health. It also updates the recommendations for the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and provides the latest evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice. This article provides a key interpretation of the management strategies outlined in the guideline, aiming to provide a basis for the development and update of relevant guidelines in China. The goal is to standardize and improve the specialized diagnosis and care for patients with CCD, with the ultimate aim of providing evidence-based guidance for clinical practice and improving the prognosis of patients with CCD.
