This is a prospective, multicenter, observational study of patients with recent stress echocardiography positive for myocardial ischemia. Up to now 25 echocardiography labs form Greece and Cyprus have declared their intention to participate. The investigators will enroll 390 patients with a positive stress echo, who will undergo invasive coronary angiogram and then will be followed up for at least 6 months.

The Prognostic Value of Positive Stress Echocardiography and Its Relationship with Invasive Coronary Angiography: the AMPHIPOLIS Study
This is a prospective, multicenter, observational study of patients with recent stress echocardiography positive for myocardial ischemia. Up to now 25 echocardiography labs form Greece and Cyprus have declared their intention to participate. The investigators will enroll 390 patients with a positive stress echo, who will undergo invasive coronary angiogram and then will be followed up for at least 6 months. The objectives are the following:
1. To assess the prognostic value of positive stress echo by monitoring for cardiovascular death and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) during the follow-up. 2. To investigate the relationship of stress echo findings with invasive coronary angiography anatomical findings. 3. The association of cardiovascular risk profile of participants with stress echo and coronary angiography findings.
Inclusion: Patients with recent stress echocardiography positive for any extent of myocardial ischemia.
Exclusion: Concomitant chronic diseases reducing life expectancy (active cancer, severe liver impairment, auto-immune diseases etc); Any symptomatic valvular disease causing symptoms; Recent acute coronary syndrome the last week; HFrEF requiring viability study; Established or suspected cardiomyopathy.
