title: Diagnosis of obstructive coronary artery disease by cardiogoniometry: a field test in a real-life setting.
abstract: Cardiogoniometry is an electrocardiographic and vectorcardiographic method utilizing computer-assisted analysis of cardiac potentials focusing on T-wave abnormalities resulting from myocardial malperfusion. We describe a case of diagnosis of obstructive coronary artery disease with this method and discuss the possible implications for the clinical setting.
