Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of selecting and locating coronary artery severe stenosis by the segmental longitudinal strain imaging diastolic indexes (LSI-DI).Methods 94 subjects with left ventricular ejection function (LVEF) ≥50％ and without regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) were divided into A group (coronary artery sever stenosis),B group (coronary artery light or mid stenosis) and C group (normal control) using coronary angiography.Some indexes were measured such as early diastolic mitral annulus velocity of septum (e),diastolic peak flow velocity of mitral valve (E,A) and E/e ratio.Using two-dimensional speckle tracking,indexes were measured such as segmental peak systolic longitudinal strain (PSLS),segmental longitudinal strain imaging diastolic indexes (LSI-DI) and global peak systolic longitudinal strain (GPSLS),global longitudinal strain imaging diastolic indexes (GLSI-DI).Compared these indexes among the three groups,the most valuabe segments were obtained and the optimal values were found out by ROC curve.Results There were no significant differences about GPSLS among the three groups.Coronary artery severe stenosis group were significantly lower than the other two groups on GLSI-DI (P ＜0.05);GLSI-DI of B group was lower than that of normal control group but the difference was not significant(P ＞0.05).The optimal cutoff values of LSI-DI were 45.5％ in the middle anteroseptal segment for detecting left anterior descending (LAD) artery severe stenosis (sensitivity 81.8％,specificity 84.2％),44.8％ in the basal anterolateral segment for detecting left circumflex (LCX) artery stenosis (sensitivity 87.3％,specificity 85.3％),and 48.3 ％ in the basal inferior segment for detecting right coronary (RCA) artery stenosis (sensitivity 79.6％,specificity 86.9 ％).Conclusions Patients with coronary artery severe stenosis can be screened by LSI-DI among patients with LVEF ≥50％ and without RWMA through conventional echocardiography.The middle anteroseptal segment,the basal anterolateral segment and the basal inferior segment can better locate the branches of coronary artery severe stenosis and the cutoff values were separately 45.5 ％,44.8 ％ and 48.3 ％.
