Description

This is a text on arteriographic studies in patients who have coronary artery disease. The text instructs the cardiologist in what he or she needs to know, how to perform angiography and angioplasty with reviews of various techniques and interpretations of their results. Angiography is the study of blood or lymph vessels by radiological means after the injection of an opaque contrast medium in to the vessel. Angioplasty is the plastic reconstruction of a diseased or injured blood vessel. The book should be of interest to cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, and scientists working in cardiovascular physiology.
