Abstract:
The study was conducted in 47 patients (34 males, 13 females) with coronary artery disease or suspected coronary artery disease who were underwent SBSE from May 2002 to October 2004 at 115 People Hospital. Results: CAD was presented in 22 patients: among which, 7 cases with lesion of one major branch, 7 cases with two branches and 8 case with three branches of coronary artery. SBSE test was positive in 20/22 patients, overall sensitivity of 91%, specificity of 80% and accuracy of 85%. The sensitivity was greatest for the font interventricle artery (81%), compared to sensitivity for right coronary artery and the left coronary artery was 56% and 31%, respectively (p<0.005). For identifying patients with multivessels CAD, sensitivity 55%, specificity 97% and accuracy 83%. SBSE is a useful tool for evaluating CAD, and identifying both the location and extent of disease.
