title: [Indications for selective coronary angiography].
abstract: At present, selective coronaro-angiography offers the only means of establishing the seriousness, extent and site of coronary sclerosis. It has led to the development of coronary surgery, itself a considerable advance in the treatment of coronary disease. The method is also of considerable assistance in the differential diagnosis of inexplicable ECG changes and other heart diseases. It is relatively free from risk if performed by experienced staff with suitable equipment and in line with the correct indications.
