Coronarography can be used as a diagnostic test when the clinical evaluation and the non-invasive test are inconclusive, although some conceptual problems remain. In known ischemic heart disease, the estimation of the prognosis is an important factor for the treatment decision, but coronary arteriography does not give a clear picture, and apart from the most severely ill patient, the prognosis usually remains very difficult to evaluate.

D017202 Myocardial Ischemia A disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. The decreased blood flow may be due to narrowing of the coronary arteries (CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE), to obstruction by a thrombus (CORONARY THROMBOSIS), or less commonly, to diffuse narrowing of arterioles and other small vessels within the heart. Severe interruption of the blood supply to the myocardial tissue may result in necrosis of cardiac muscle (MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION).
