Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the regional cardiac function for patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) with multiple tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) parameters in rest state and to discuss the value of regional cardiac function in diagnosing CHD.Methods Forty-seven patients with chief complain of chest pain underwent TDI examination.Maximum systolic velocity (Sm),maximum early diastolic velocity (Em),maximum late diastolic velocity (Am),isovoluminal contraction time (IVCT) and isovoluminal relaxation time(IVRT) of 16 segments of left ventricle were measured.All the patients underwent coronary angiography (CAG) at the same time.CHD was diagnosed by at least one coronary artery with no less than fifty percent diametric stenosis.Segments dominated by coronary artery with fifty to ninety and more than ninety percent diametric stenosis were defined as moderate and severe lesion segments respectively.Others were non-lesion segments.Results There was no significant difference of sex,age,heart rate,CHD risk factors,left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and E/A among non-CHD (13 cases),one-lesion(11 cases),two-lesion (11 cases) and three-lesion (12 cases)(P >0.05).Compared with those in non-lesion segments (390sections),Sm,Em and Em/Am decreased and IVRT prolonged in both moderate lesion segments (162 sections) and severe lesion segments (144 sections) (P < 0.01).IVCT prolonged only in severe lesion segments (P <0.05),but not in moderate lesion segments.If setting a criterion that no less than three segments with Sm < 2.50 cm/s and IVRT > 87 ms was for CHD diagnosis,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accuracy were 79.4% (27/34),84.6% (11/13),93.1% (27/29),61.1%(11/18) and 80.9%(38/47).Conclusions In rest state,regional cardiac function of lesion segments in CHD patients shows changes of decreased systolic and diastolic velocity and prolonged isovoluminal time.Analyzing segmental cardiac velocity and time comprehensively may help to diagnose CHD.
