Computerized edge tracking and lesion measurement in coronary angiograms A pilot study comparing smokers with non-smokers

Comparison of coronary atherosclerosis change in a pilot angiographic study of retrospectively matched smokers and controls indicates more rapid progression in smokers. The findings indicate the feasibility of small-scale angiographic trials of treatment designed to ameliorate arterial damage in ath...
