Abstract
Despite certain disadvantages, the nitrous oxide method is the only available method for the measurement of coronary blood flow in man. Procedures based on the use of radioisotopes have been critically reviewed. It is concluded that none of these procedures using radioisotopes permit quantitative determinations of coronary blood flow in man.Keywords
