May support ischemia localization by exercise cineangiography in angina; leaves open its preoperative role pending randomized validation.
Does cineangiography of the left ventricle during exercise localize left ventricular ischaemia in patients with angina pectoris contemplating coronary artery surgery?
Cineangiography during exercise can localize regional left ventricular ischemia and correlate abnormal myocardial contraction with coronary artery obstruction sites in patients with angina.
Sharma et al. (1975) studied this question.
