Abstract： @@ Nine percent to 27% of cardiac catheterizations today showed either angiographic normal coronary arteries or minimal atherosclerosis. 1,2 Given the expense of cardiac catheterization and the desire to use this valuable resource for therapeutic rather than diagnostic purpose, there is a strong impetus to develop non-invasive means of accurately detecting significant coronary artery stenosis.
