Comparison of peripheral arterial tonometry and flow-mediated vasodilation for assessment of the severity and complexity of coronary artery disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Coronary stenosis of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) is respected by cardiologists because of its negative influence on morbidity and mortality. An important anatomical consideration is the length of the LAD. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship between length of LAD and coronary dominance. ...
