Presenter
Dr Jayant (Jay) Ravindran, Cardiologist
This session will provide an evidence-based overview of angina with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) — a commonly under-recognised cause of chest pain in patients with no significant coronary disease. Dr Jayant Ravindran, Cardiologist, will draw on cutting-edge research and clinical experience, to cover how to identify and investigate ANOCA in everyday practice, outline the latest diagnostic approaches, and discuss practical management strategies to improve patient outcomes. Attendees will leave with a clearer framework for recognising this condition and confidently guiding patients toward appropriate care.

Learning Outcomes
- Identify patients presenting with chest pain who may have angina with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA), including recognising key clinical features and at-risk populations in a rural general practice setting
- Interpret diagnostic findings and understand the role of functional coronary assessment, enabling effective communication with cardiology teams and informed referral decisions
- Discuss how to apply an evidence-based management plan for patients with ANOCA, including appropriate pharmacological therapy, lifestyle advice, and strategies for ongoing follow-up in the community
