[Angiographic studies in fluoroscopically detected coronary calcification (author's transl)].

We performed coronary angiography in eighty subjects with radiographically diagnosed coronary calcification. Radiographically proven coronary calcification is highly specific for coronary heart disease. Within certain limitations it helps in locating stenoses and is present more frequently in multiple vessel disease. It sometimes detects coronary artery disease missed by other non-invasive methods.
