Gensini score

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gensini score is a widely used means of quantifying angiographic atherosclerosis,[1] where a zero score indicates absence of atherosclerotic disease.[2] The Gensini score accounts for the degree of artery narrowing as well as locations of narrowing.[3]
