RESUMO
Interventional cardiology requires precise assessment of coronary anatomy and physiology. Unfortunately, however, important interventional decisions are frequently made on the basis of arteriographic data alone. Increasing evidence suggests that visual interpretation of coronary arteriographic studies is irreproducible, inaccurate, and poorly predictive of coronary physiology. Moreover, arteriography is of little value in assessing endothelial ulceration and mural thrombus, which are important pathophysiologic features of unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction.
