Physiologic assessment of coronary artery stenosis severity.
For over a quarter-century, selective coronary arteriography has remained the ultimate diagnostic test for assessing the significance of atherosclerotic lesions in the coronary circulation of humans. Despite the development of many noninvasive techniques designed to assess effects of limitations in the ability to augment coronary flow on myocardial perfusion, function, and metabolism, the coronary arteriogram has maintained its clinical position of preeminence.
