  • Coronary disease: all potentially significant lesions (minimum cross section >50% main vessel) in the preangioplasty coronary arteriogram.

  • Cx, circumflex coronary artery; D1, 1st diagonal branch of left anterior descending coronary artery; dP/dtmax, maximum value of 1st derivative of pressure with respect to time; LAD, left anterior descending coronary artery; maxP, maximum pressure; maxV, minV, maximum and minimum ventricular volumes; occ, occlusion; OM1, 1st obtuse marginal branch of circumflex coronary artery; RCA, right coronary artery; sv, stroke volume; sw, stroke work.
