Abstract:
Coronary angiography has been the principal means of assessing coronary disease in patients who may need coronary revascularization. Introduced in the 1960s, the test has become one of the most frequently performed procedures in the United States. The American Heart As- sociation estimates that more than 1.3 million procedures were done in 2005, an increase of 342% since 1979. With the phenomenal growth of this expensive test and the small but significant morbidity and mortality associated with it, many have questioned the appropriateness of the present rates of use of the procedure.
