The correlation between speckle-tracking echocardiography and coronary angiography in suspected coronary artery disease with normal left ventricular function
Our study objects to determine the diagnostic accuracy of two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) in predicting presence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD).
Patients with stable angina pectoris with normal left ventricular function (>50%) undergoing coronary angiography were enrolled and subjected to speckle tracking echocardiography. Global longitudinal peak systolic strain was measured and correlated to the results of coronary angiography for each patient.
Number of male (P=0.001), diabetes (P=0.01) and smoking (P=0.01) patients were significantly higher in the CAD group compared to non-CAD patients. Global longitudinal peak systolic strain (GLPSS) was significantly (P=0.0001) lower in CAD patients in comparison to non- CAD patients. GLPSS showed significantly lower in patients with Syntax score (SS)≥22 in comparison to SS<22. Cut-off value -19 for GLPSS could be used to predict the presence of significant CAD with 80.6% sensitivity and 76.5% specificity (area under curve (AUC) -0.83, P=0.0001). The mean GLPSS value decreased as the number of diseased coronary vessels increased (P=0.0001). The optimal cut-off value of -16 GLPSS with a sensitivity of 76.7% and specificity of 83.3% [AUC 0.84, P<0.0001] was found significant to predict CAD severity. Multivariate regression of GLPSS and another risk factor for predicting significant CAD, GLPSS showed OR=1.55 (CI-1.36-1.76) P=0.0001 for predicting the presence of CAD.
2DSTE can be used as a non-invasive screening test in predicting presence, extent and severity of significant CAD patients with suspected stable angina pectoris.
