Can coronary angiography be used to predict the site of a subsequent myocardial infarction in patients with mild-to-moderate coronary artery disease?
The prognostic value of coronary angiography for predicting the site of a subsequent myocardial infarction in patients with mild-to-moderate coronary artery disease has not been established. Studies have suggested that there is a correlation between the severity of coronary artery narrowing as observed on angiography and the risk of future myocardial infarction in patients with coronary artery disease. However, the exact predictive value of angiography for predicting the site of a subsequent myocardial infarction in patients with mild-to-moderate coronary artery disease has not been established.
