AB  - Prior  to  Gruentzig’s  seminal  development  of  balloon  angioplasty,  coronary  arteriograms  were  largely  used  to  discriminate  patients  with  and  without  coronary  artery  disease  and  to  select  those  who  should  be  referred  for  coronary  bypass  surgery.  In  the  modern  era,  the  cardiac  interventionalist  must  be  supremely  competent  in  performing,  interpreting,  and  understanding  the  studies  that  define  the  coronary  anatomy  and  cardiac  function.  The  unique  demands  of  decision  making  for  interventional  cardiology  require  a  new  understanding  of  the  principles  and  procedures  that  enable  percutaneous  coronary  revascularization  to  be  performed.  To  this  end,  acquiring  high-quality  diagnostic  cardiac  angiographic  studies  is  critical.  This  chapter  will  review  special  considerations  of  coronary  and  left  ventricular  angiography.
