Guideline for Chronic Coronary Syndrome – 2025

1. Introduction

One of the primary activities of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology (Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia, SBC) is the development of guidelines for several cardiovascular (CV) diseases (CVDs), based on the most recent scientific evidence and grounded in robust clinical data. These guidelines aim to assist health care professionals in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of CVDs. This guideline on chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) was developed by volunteer members of SBC, without any commercial support, and with a strong emphasis on ethical principles to guide clinical cardiology practices and the involvement of all stakeholders.

CVDs are the leading cause of death in the Brazilian population, and CCS stands out as the most significant in terms of morbidity and mortality among noncommunicable diseases. Therefore, this guideline plays a crucial role in supporting health professionals, particularly cardiologists, with recommendations for managing a number of clinical scenarios encountered in patients with CCS.
