Abstract
Spontaneous regression of a left anterior descending coronary artery lesion was diagnosed by noninvasive testing (stress ECG and thallium-201 myocardial imaging) and confirmed on selective coronary angiography in a 46 yr old man. The patient''s clinical improvement, normalization of stress ECG and thallium-201 imaging with the loss of collateral filling, confirm that the regression is genuine. Evidence that regression of coronary atherosclerosis can occur in man is provided.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
