Over the past twenty years, technical advances in coronary
arteriography have contributed to our understanding of the
pathophysiologic aspects and natural history of coronary artery
disease. Probably more than 700. 000 coronary arterio grams are
performed annually throughout the world. Usually, these
arteriograms are interpreted visually to determine the morphologic
extent and severity of coronary artery disease. These subjective
determinations, which are hampered . by relatively large intra- and
interobserver variations, are used as a basis for critically
important therapeutic decisions: Which arteries are to be
revascular ized, which lesions are suitable for coronary bypass
surgery or for percutaneous coronary angioplasty? To improve on
this clinical decision making, on the treat ment and follow-up of
such patients, new, objective and reproducible techniques for the
assessment of the extent and severity of coronary artery disease,
both in terms of anatomy and functional significance of the
lesions, must be made widely available. With such new procedures
and technologies the efficacy of new thera peutic procedures, the
effects of vasodilating and constricting drugs, and the results of
long-term studies on the regression and progression of
atherosclerotic plaque can be determined in an objective and
cost-effective manner.
