34. Coronary Angiography

– Nonionic ,low osmolar and iso-osmolar contrast media – less deleterious effect on – ventricular function , และสามารถใช้ใน acute ischemic syndrome , heart failure , severe aortic stenosis , left main coronary artery disease
– high-grade stenoses มักจะมี total failure vascular remodeling
diameter stenosis 30% เมื่อเปรียบเทียบกับ angiographic equivalent
– multivesel coronary atherosclerosis and isolate discrete stenoses จะมี severity ระหว่าง 10-95% stenosis
– การวัด anatomical stenosis อาจจะไม่ correlate กับ reactived hyperemic response
– ถ้ามี FFR (fraction flow reserve) > 0.75 ย้งสามารถใช้แบบ noninvasive test สำหรับ myocardial ischemia ได้
