Gatekeeper for coronary angiography [PDF]
We would like to compliment Hoilund-Carlsen and colleagues on their well-designed study on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) as gatekeeper for coronary angiography.1 However, we have some doubts with regard to the use of MPS in a not-low-risk population. In this selection of patients scheduled for coronary angiography, obstructive coronary artery

The introduction of selective coronary angiography by Mason Sones in 1958 stands as a milestone in clinical cardiology. The procedure continues as a cornerstone in the evaluation of the coronary arteries and is indicated not only to diagnose coronary artery disease (CAD) but also to assess its severity.
