False-Positive Stress Tests… or False-Negative Rest Angiograms?

A 64-row computed tomography scan confirmed the intramyocardial course of the mid-distal LAD (D), which is a more common finding than previously thought, on the basis of coronary angiography studies, depending on the known limitations of "luminology" techniques for depiction of anatomical...

Zusammenfassung:	A 64-row computed tomography scan confirmed the intramyocardial course of the mid-distal LAD (D), which is a more common finding than previously thought, on the basis of coronary angiography studies, depending on the known limitations of "luminology" techniques for depiction of anatomical components outside the vessel lumen.
