Abstract:
PurposeTo investigate the relationship between left atrial volume index (LAVI) and severity of coronary lesions in patients with stable angina pectoris, so as to provide information for the evaluation of the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). Materials and MethodsAccording to the results of coronary angiography, 279 patients with stable angina pectoris and 92 healthy people were as control group, all subjects were divided into four groups: control group (n=92), single-vessel CAD group (n=116), double-vessel CAD group (n=93) and triple-vessel group (n=70). Each group was compared in the aspects of demographic characteristics, history of illness, liver and kidney functions and parameter's difference in echocardiogram; the correlation between LAVI and Gensini score was analyzed; and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to identify the predictive value of LAVI in severity of coronary lesions.ResultsCompared with the control group, the double-vessel and triple-vessel CAD groups had significantly larger left atrial diameter (P<0.05). In triple-vessel CAD group, the left atrial diameter was significantly larger than that in the single-vessel CAD group (P<0.05), and the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was significantly larger than that in the control group and in the single-vessel CAD group (P<0.05), and the E/Em and LVMI were significantly higher than those in other groups (P<0.05). The LAVI was higher in patients with CAD compared with those in the control group and the LAVI in the triple-vessel CAD group was significantly higher than that in single-vessel CAD group and double-vessel CAD group (P<0.05); the LAVI was correlated positively with Gensini score (r=0.499,P<0.01). LAVI had certain value in predicting triple-vessel CAD (AUC=0.782,P<0.01). The results of multi-factor Logistic regression analysis showed that male patients with hypertension, mitral reflux, and multi-vessel CAD were more likely to had high LAVI.Conclusion The worsening LV diastolic function is associated with the increasing severity of coronary artery lesions, and LAVI may have predictive value for severity of CAD.
