Study Summary

The investigators sought to investigate the efficacy of low frame rate (fluoroscopy at 7.5 frames per second (FPS) and Cine at 10 pulse per second (PPS) vs. conventional (15 FPS and 15 PPS) on radiation dose to the patient and the operator during coronary angiography and intervention. In addition, investigators sought to qualitatively assess the effect, if any, of the low frame rate on angiographic image quality.

Eligible Conditions
  • Acute Coronary Syndrome
  • Stable Angina
