Hello Sir
Thanks a lot for this wonderful informative site on cardiology.
Sir, if you could explain the various views in coronary arteriography and the best views used for viewing the different portions of Right and left coronary arteries, it would be of a great help to an aspiring cardiologist like me..
Thanks again Sir
