METHODS OF DETECTION OF PROGRESSION OF STENOSIS

摘要

The present invention is directed toward methods of identifying progression of coronary stenosis in a patient over a time interval of interest. In various embodiments, first and second angiograms are performed in a region of interest in a patient to produce first and second sets of angiographic data, where the second set of angiographic data reflects passage of a time interval of interest after performing the first angiogram. The first set of angiographic data is compared (120) to the second set of angiographic data to determine whether stenosis is progressing in the region of interest.
