Popis:	In recent years follow-up trials on coronary artery disease with angiographic end points analyzed quantitatively have gained increasing relevance and popularity. There is no consensus, however, on the method of calculation of progression or regression from multiple angiographic projections. Therefore the influence of the selection of angiographic projections on the outcomes of such trials was investigated with the data of the International Nifedipine Trial on Antiatherosclerotic Therapy. In 348 patients with coronary artery disease, repeated coronary angiograms were compared in multiple identical angiographic projections. Changes in angiographic parameters were averaged over the 1063 stenoses analyzed. Five methods of evaluation of multiple projections in the individual stenoses were applied, resulting in different extents of overall progression or even regression of coronary artery disease ( p
