Abstract
Maximal, reproducible, and thus, ''standardized'' dilation of epicardi al coronary arteries can be easily achieved with intracoronary bolus a dministration of 0.1 mg nitroglycerin without considerable decrease in blood pressure. The addition of other nitrocompounds or calcium antag onists cannot increase coronary dilation after nitroglycerin, but may be hampered by adverse effects.
