Abstract

Clinical 16 mm cinefluorography and 70 mm camera fluorography were compared in 30 unselected patients undergoing coronary arteriography. Accuracy in detecting coronary arterial stenosis and collateral vessels and in assessing the degree of stenosis was similar with the two techniques. With both methods, there were significant inter- and intraobserver differences in estimating the degree of stenosis. These differences indicate that coronary arteriography is only a semiquantitative method for making decisions about treatment, prognosis and follow-up of patients. The use of more than one observer increases the likelihood that stenotic lesions will be detected. Interobserver variation in detecting collateral circulation is small.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
