Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a cross-sectional and observational study. Regional transorgan arterial and venous blood sampling during diagnostic and interventional coronary angiography will be performed. Plasma will be assayed for neurohormones. Results will be correlated with invasive haemodynamic measures taken at the time of the angiogram.

Timepoint [1] 1596 0
Secondary outcome [1] 2893 0
To document the transcardiac gradient of vasoactive neurohormones across a spectrum of cardiac and renal function at a single time point.
Timepoint [1] 2893 0
