Coronary artery disease was defined based on angiographic criteria as the occurrence of at least one stenosis of at least 50% in at least one of 15 coronary segments, using the maximal luminal narrowing estimated by standardized visual analysis.
The severity of coronary artery disease is stated in the Research Design and Methods section (2): "Coronary artery disease was defined based on angiographic criteria as the occurrence of at least one stenosis of at least 50% in at least one of 15 coronary segments, using the maximal luminal narrowing estimated by standardized visual analysis".
