This study used arteriography and cinéradiographic techniques to determine whether orally administered ethyl alcohol or inhaled cigarette smoke exercised a dilating or constricting effect on the caliber of atherosclerotic coronary arteries.
Thirty patients with known coronary heart disease were studied: 22 had single or multiple past myocardial infarctions, 8 had angina pectoris with significant electrocardiographic indications of myocardial disease. In each patient visualization of the right and then the left coronary artery was obtained by the Sones technique using a 9-in. amplifier and was recorded cinéradiographically with a 35-mm camera. Fifteen patients were administered 60 cc of blended whiskey after
