TL;DR
Coronary arteriography with all its limitations' provides essential information regarding the feasibility of surgery, offers a standard upon which to gauge severity of disease, and promises valuable prognostic indices beyond available clinical measures.

A three-year follow-up of 530 patients who had left hospital after an acute myocardial infarction found only four factors—age, heart size, degree of pulmonary congestion, and previous ischaemia—were relevant to three- year survival.

Myocardial ischemia was more prevalent in patients with than in those without collateral vessels as evidenced by a significantly greater frequency of abnormal post-exercise electrocardiograms and myocardial lactate production.

55 Citations1965Theodore E. Keats, Ivar Enge
The cardiac volume determination as an accurate method of cardiac mensuration has been used widely in Scandinavia for many years but has not gained wide acceptance in this country because of difficulties in utilizing the reported data, largely in the Scandinavian and German literature.

Therapy to lower serum lipids, based on a specific diagnosis of the type of hyperlipoproteinemia, should be started early in life before clinical disease occurs, apparently affecting the rate of atherogenesis in the long silent preclinical stage, but in the short clinical stage other factors determine survival.
