Abstract
The aim of our study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of a global longitudinal strain and strain rate (GLS, GLSR) and mean radial strain and strain rate (MRS, MRSR) of the left ventricle to predict multivessel disease. In 113 patients, who underwent coronary angiography, left ventricular deformation was analysed by speckle-tracking based velocity vector imaging. In three standard apical views strain and strain rate curves were generated corresponding with two opposite basal, mid, and apical segments. The negative peaks of systolic strain and strain rate from 18 curves were averaged as GLS and GLSR. Similarly, in short axis view 6 negative systolic peaks were averaged and considered as MRS and MRSR. Four subgroups were defined: (1) without significant coronary stenosis, 0-vessel disease (0VD), (2) single-vessel disease (1VD), (3) double-vessel disease (2VD), and (4) triple-vessel disease (3VD). In comparison with patients without significant coronary artery disease, all deformation indexes were significantly decreased in patients with 3VD. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and wall motion score index (WMSI) showed lower significance level as deformation parameters. MRSR was the strongest predictor of multivessel...Continue Reading
