Abstract
Coronarography can be used as a diagnostic test when the clinical eval uation and the non-invasive test are inconclusive, although some conce ptual problems remain. In known ischemic heart disease, the estimation of the prognosis is an important factor for the treatment decision, b ut coronary arteriography does not give a clear picture, and apart fro m the most severely ill patient, the prognosis usually remains very di fficult to evaluate.
