Quantitative Coronary and Left Ventricular Cineangiography

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 51))

Abstract

In Chapter I the limitations of the conventional visual evaluation of the severity of coronary obstructions from 35 mm cineangiograms in terms of the relatively large inter- and intraobserver variations have been documented. Moreover, by this technique the degree of luminal narrowing can only be determined in terms of percentage diameter (%-D) narrowing assessed from one or more views. To evaluate the efficacy of modern therapeutic procedures in the catheterization laboratory [1–3], the effects of vasoactive drugs [4, 5], as well as the effects of short- and long-terms interventions on the regression or progression of coronary artery disease [6–8], an objective and reproducible technique for the assessment of coronary atherosclerosis is seriously needed. Such a technique should at least provide absolute measurements on the minimal diameter and extent of the obstructions, as well as on mean luminal diameters of nonobstructed coronary segments.
