Influence of Myocardial Shortening on Coronary Tortuosity

This study is a retrospective analysis where coronary arteriograms are being analyzed to determine whether the presence of tortuous coronary arteries correlate with any specific measures of left ventricular mass or left ventricular function on echocardiography.
