PY - 2011 T2 - Multimodal Cardiovascular Imaging: Principles and Clinical Applications AB - Invasive coronary angiography (CA) remains the standard for identifying coronary artery narrowings related to coronary artery disease (CAD). Selective CA, which was first performed by F. Mason Sones in 1959, enables correlation of different clinical syndromes and electrocardiography (ECG) findings with coronary artery anatomy. The method provides the most reliable information for determining appropriate therapy in patients with CAD. CA has become a routine procedure performed on an ambulatory basis in many centers. Technical and logistic improvements have improved patient safety.
