[Selective coronary angiography with jodamide (author's transl)].

In 188 coronary angiographies Jodamide was found to be a substance which resulted in good to excellent contrasts and is so the best basis for an exact evaluation. It caused a transient fall of heart rate and blood pressure. Changes of E.C.G. disappeared quickly. Severe disturbances of the heart rhythm didn't appear. Severe general reactions were seldom and never fatal. More frequently mild reactions occurred, but only in two cases a therapy was necessary. The results show that Jodamide is an excellent contrast medium for selective coronary angiography.
