Summary

Lack of standardized definitions for delayed and missed coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis has limited research on its causes and frequency. This multi-stakeholder consensus project developed a framework and recommended definitions for delayed and missed diagnosis in acute and chronic coronary syndromes, as no single definition was realized. Although not intended as universal definitions, the framework provides a foundation for more consistent research and comparison across diagnostic settings.
