However, the internationally recognised high-precision assessment technology which has not been popularised in China is expensive and requires complex surgical procedures.

A clinical study led by Fuwai Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences showed that the new method could assess coronary function within four minutes, and had a 33 per cent higher accuracy rate compared with a coronary angiography.

Chen Yazhu, an expert from Shanghai Jiaotong University said: “The new method will assist doctors in identifying coronary heart disease and assist in making treatment plans, such as whether the patient needs a heart stent implantation.”

According to statistics from the National Cardiovascular Centre, in 2017 there were 290 million cardiovascular patients in China, including 11 million patients with coronary heart disease.
