Abstract
The diagnosis of stable coronary artery disease can be established by making a careful history of the patient, documentation of ECG changes during episodes of coronary insufficiency, visualization of regions with temporarily impaired uptake of thallium-201 or other isotopes, measurement of impaired left ventricular function during ischemic episodes and, finally, coronary arteriography. Optimal results will be obtained when the proper methods are selected for each individual patient.
With technical assistance by Angela Peterse, Flora ten Cate, and Hanneke van Meurs.
