        Selected cine coronary arteriography became a firmly established procedure less than half a decade ago. Even in this brief period the technique has proved to be indispensable in the evaluation of the efficacy of a variety of surgical approaches to coronary arterial disease. The surgeon has appreciatively acknowledged the radiologist's role in the study of revascularization of the heart. Can the diagnostician obtain comparable assistance from arteriographic studies? Is there a close relationship between angina pectoris or myocardial infarction and the presence of significant coronary arteriographic abnormalities?
        Proudfit, Shirey, and Sones1 recently compared the clinical diagnoses in 1,000 patients with the findings after selected cine coronary arteriography. The symptomatic patient almost always presented evidence of severe arterial obstruction. Specifically, there was a 95% correlation between the diagnosis of typical angina pectoris and significant arterial abnormalities. An astonishingly close correlation (99%) was also found between electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial infarction
