Overview

Brief Summary

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.

Degree of longitudinal shortening

Time Frame: 3 months

Measurement of longitudinal shortening of the left ventricle measured on an echocardiography (retrospectively) that was performed within 3 months of the angiogram
