Je popsán případ dvou sester katetrizovaných pro stabilní námahovou anginu pectoris CCS II. Ke klinické manifestaci u nich došlo

We report the case of two sisters catheterized for stable angina pectoris CCS II. Clinical manifestation occurred after reaching almost the

same age and both women had similar findings at coronary arteries. With regard to their older ages in the time of clinical manifestation –

74 years – the result in this case was probably due to interaction of similar genetic and environmental influences.
