  • Title: [Angiocardiography of cardiopathy of unknown origin].
    Author: Mizera S, Fabián J, Fridrich V, Danis D, Schreinerová Z, Schrameková E.
    Journal: Bratisl Lek Listy; 1996 Jun; 97(6):334-9. PubMed ID: 8769063.
    Abstract:
    Authors described their experiences with angiocardiography, (selective coronarography and left ventriculography), in 41 patients aged from 32 to 59 years with the preliminary diagnosis of cardiopathy of unknown origin. The patients with diagnosis of cardiopathy of unknown origin were those, who cannot be assigned to any of the known and acknowledge diagnostic categories, not even by using complex clinical, laboratory and noninvasive cardiological diagnostic procedures. Angiocardiography enabled to produce new and unexpected data of diagnostic value three patients with heart disease (all of the three mentioned patients had significant changes of the coronary supply, i.e. the reduction in lumen diameter of the coronary vessel being of more than 50% with local or total wall motion abnormalities). The other thirty-eight patients had normal findings of the coronary supply. One patient had a normal coronarographic findings, normal left ventricular wall motion and also the subsequent histological examination from the endomyocardial bioptic sample of the heart tissue, did not confirm pathological abnormalities. Selective coronarography and left ventriculography is a useful and safe clinical diagnostic procedure in exactly defined groups of patients.
