Does left ventriculography detect abnormal mid-systolic wall motion corresponding to coronary artery obstruction in patients with coronary heart disease?
Abnormal mid-systolic left ventricular wall motion often corresponds to significant coronary artery obstruction even when end-systolic wall motion is normal.
Leighton et al. (1975) studied this question.
