Coronary angiography reveals stenosis in 26 samples postmortem, suggesting improved detection of coronary artery disease.

This research aims to standardize postmortem coronary angiography using a barium contrast agent to enhance detection of coronary artery disease.
Conducted a study with 55 subjects using a barium sulfate and water mixture for radiographic imaging.
Administered a barium contrast agent and took detailed radiographs of subjects' hearts.
Compared radiological findings with histopathological results using Hematoxylin and Eosin stain.
Detected stenosis in 31 samples via histology, with 26 samples showing coronary stenosis.
Radiographic examination found stenosis in 11 samples, indicating a discrepancy in detection methods.
Agreement in stenosis severity was only observed in 13% of cases, showings issues with radiography accuracy.

Gupta et al. (2025) studied this question.
