Overview
Coronary angiography is recommended in patients with heart failure, who have angina pectoris or an angina equivalent despite pharmacological therapy, in order to establish the diagnosis of CAD and its severity. Coronary angiography may also be considered in patients with HFrEF who have an intermediate to high pre-test probability of CAD and who are considered potentially suitable for coronary revascularization.
Cardiac Catheterization
Coronary Angiography
- Invasive coronary angiography is useful to rule out significant CAD in patients with cardiac dysfunction.
- It is recommended in patients with angina despite pharmacological therapy or symptomatic ventricular arrhythmias.
- In patients with HFrEF with an intermediate to high pre-test probability of CAD and the presence of ischaemia in noninvasive stress tests, invasive coronary angiography may be considered.
Hemodynamic Assessment
Right Heart Catheterization
Right heart catheterization can be useful to assess the following:
- Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure
- Pulmonary artery pressure to diagnose pulmonary hypertension and respond to therapy
- Right heart catheterization should be considered in patients where HF is thought to be due to constrictive pericarditis, restrictive cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease, and high output states.
Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA)
- Computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) may be considered in patients with a low to intermediate pre-test probability ofCAD, or equivocal result of non-invasive stress tests in order to exclude the diagnosis of CAD.[1]

Genetic Evaluation and Testing 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Heart Failure Guideline (DO NOT EDIT) [3]
Class I |
"1. In first-degree relatives of selected patients with genetic or inherited cardiomyopathies, genetic screening and counseling are recommended to detect cardiac disease and prompt consideration of treatments to decrease HF progression and sudden death. [4][5] (Level of Evidence: B-NR) " |
Class IIa |
"1. In select patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy, referral for genetic counseling and testing is reasonable to identify conditions that could guide treatment for patients and family members.[6][7] (Level of Evidence: B-NR) " |
