Abstract
For practical reasons we will define large coronary vessels as coronary arteries that are large enough to be visualized by coronary arteriography in such detail that moderate atherosclerotic changes can be detected. With modern equipment this includes arteries with an internal diameter of about 0.2 mm or more. Assuming that the normal coronary anatomy is generally well known we will focus on nomenclature, standardized interpretation of coronary arteriograms, and the significance of pathologic findings.
