    Direct myocardial revascularization is superior for most angina pectoris cases. A proposed classification of myocardial ischemia aids treatment decisions, alongside ergometric studies and cine coronary angiography for patient selection.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Surgery

    Background:

    • Coronary arteriosclerosis presents complex treatment challenges.
    • Current indications for direct myocardial revascularization require clear definition.
    • A standardized classification of myocardial ischemia is lacking, hindering treatment analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss current indications for direct myocardial revascularization.
    • To propose a universally acceptable classification of myocardial ischemia.
    • To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of medical versus surgical treatments.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current medical and surgical treatment strategies for coronary arteriosclerosis.
    • Proposal of a new classification system for myocardial ischemia.
    • Evaluation of ergometric studies and cine coronary angiography in patient selection.

    Main Results:

    • Ergometric studies are valuable for differentiating between medical and surgical treatment.
    • Cine coronary angiography is essential for accurate diagnosis and surgical candidate selection.
    • Surgical therapy for coronary arteriosclerosis demonstrates significant success.

    Conclusions:

    • A proposed classification of myocardial ischemia is crucial for treatment analysis.
    • Direct myocardial revascularization is superior to medical treatment for most forms of angina pectoris.
    • Accurate diagnostic tools like cine coronary angiography improve surgical outcomes.
