Key result
Angiocardiography permits precise quantification of hemodynamic effects in heart failure, helping clinicians determine if surgery is likely to bring substantial benefits.
Angiocardiography is a valuable tool for quantifying hemodynamic abnormalities in heart failure to guide surgical interventions.
Angiocardiography may guide surgical decisions in heart failure; leaves open need for contemporary validation.
The changes in ventricular anatomy and function that occur in heart failure vary according to whether myocardial or mechanical factors, or a combination of the two, predominate. Angiocardiography now permits precise quantification of the hemodynamic effects of existing abnormalities. In this way the clinician has the means to answer such critical questions as whether or not surgery is likely to bring substantial benefits.

Harold T. Dodge (1971) conducted a review in Heart failure. Angiocardiography was evaluated. Angiocardiography permits precise quantification of hemodynamic effects in heart failure, helping clinicians determine if surgery is likely to bring substantial benefits.
