Dutch term or phrase: OW infarct
Voorgeschidenis: 1999 OW infarct bij CAG een gaaf coronair systeem

I don't understand what OW INFARCT means. Stroke? What kind of stroke?
And one other thing in this sentence is that 'CAG showed a clear coronary system', but when? back then in 1999, or now?

Thanks!
