Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Patients will be recruited from the cardiac catheterization laboratory at the NYU Langone Medical Center.
• Patients will be eligible if they are more than 18 years of age and are referred for coronary angiography.

You may not qualify if…

• Patients will be excluded if they have reduced renal function since they must receive as minimal of contrast amount as possible, and if their abdominal circumference is > 45 inches since the quality of images under fluoroscopy alone is poorer in patients with increased abdominal girth.
