| colspan = "7" | <sup>a</sup> Probabilities of obstructive coronary disease shown reflect the estimates for patients aged 35, 45, 55, 65, 75 and 85 years.
*Groups in white boxes have a PTP <15% and hence can be managed without further testing.
*Groups in blue boxes have a PTP of 15–65%. They could have an exercise ECG if feasible as the initial test. However, if local expertise and availability permit a non-invasive imaging based test for ischaemia this would be preferable given the superior diagnostic capabilities of such tests. In young patients radiation issues should be considered.
*Groups in light pink boxes have PTPs between 66–85% and hence should have a non-invasive imaging functional test for making a diagnosis of SCAD.
*In groups in dark pink boxes the PTP is >85% and one can assume that SCAD is present. They need risk stratification only.
