Rapid technical developments and recently acquired clinical data have led Pijls (Catharina Hospital, Eindhove, the Netherlands) and Bruyne (Cardiovascular Center, Aalst, Belgium) to revise after little more than two years their guide for interventionalists who want to make a quick start with the approach and for cardiologists, radiologists, physiologists, and fellows in training for these specialties who would like to understand the invasive functional assessment of coronary disease. When evaluating and treating patients with a coronary artery stenosis, cardiologists can measure coronary pressure to help determine the effect of the stenosis on coronary blood flow and myocardial function, whether the lesion is responsible for the patient's symptoms, and whether revasculation of the artery would improve the patient.Pijls, Nico H. J. is the author of 'Coronary Pressure', published 2000 under ISBN 9780792361701 and ISBN 0792361709.
