[Progression of coronary sclerosis demonstrated by repeated coronarography. Experience with 80 cases].
Coronary and left ventricular angiography repeated after an interval of 19 months in 84 patients showed progression of coronary sclerosis in 42 and of ventricular lesions in 7. No relation between the morphology and seriousness of the initial coronary lesions and their progression was noted. No significant differences were observed between patients with and without progression as far as the clinical data and risk factors (angina pectoris, prior myocardial infarct, cholesterol, arterial hypertension, and diabetes) were concerned, though there was a significantly higher percentage in obese subjects.
