  • Abstract
    Madam, coronary angiography is an age old method to detect coronary artery disease (CAD).1 However, its usefulness as a diagnostic tool is limited due to single plane images, narrow angle of angiography projection, side effects of contrast, morbidity and mortality rates of 1.5% and 0.15% respectively, and due to invasive nature of the procedure.
