Abstract

Increasing experience and improvement of the techniques used in coronary angiography and left ventriculography, have advanced patient safety and the proper assessment of coronary heart disease. High-resolution image intensifiers, coupled with the use of 50 or 25 frames-per-second cinematography or 100 mm spot film technique, offer diverse possibilities for optimal documentation of the morphologic findings. For an evaluation of both hemodynamics and cinematography, computer-assisted units increasingly simplify work and offer greater safety in procedures that assess ventricular function.
