*Groups in white boxes have a PTP <15% and hence can be managed without further testing.
*Groups in <i>white boxes</i> 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.
