Abstract:
In twenty-two patients with coronary heart disease, selective coronary angiography and laevo-cardiography were carried out by means of conventional cine angiography and intra-arterial DSA. For evaluating left ventricular function, intra-arterial DSA and cine angiography were of equal value (r = 0.97). A significant advantage of DSA was the fact that it is easily reproducible. On the other hand, DSA is less good for quantifying coronary stenoses and for demonstrating the peripheral vessels.
