[Echocardiographic study of the coronary vessels]. / Ob ékhokardiograficheskom issledovanii koronarnykh arterii.

ABSTRACT

The coronary arteries were studied in normal subjects and in patients with coronary heart disease, using two-dimensional echocardiography. The authors succeeded in obtaining the image of the major trunk of the left and of the opening of the right coronary artery and in ascertaining various forms of coronary artery lesions. In twenty cases the findings of echocardiography and coronary angiography were compared.
