Brief project description

Patients with coronary artery disease have a narrowing of the arteries around the heart (the coronary arteries). This leads to a decreased supply of oxygenated blood to the heart muscle during exercise or even in rest. When left untreated, this can lead to a complete loss of blood flow to the heart tissue (= heart attack). By collecting data concerning the coronary angioplasty, techniques and legislations can be updated and adjusted in favor of the public health.
