Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the diagnosis value of three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography ( 3D-STE) in severe multi-vessel coronary stenosis at resting state . Methods Ninety-one patients with chest tightness ,chest pain ,other related clinical symptoms ,and suspected coronary heart disease were enrolled and underwent coronary angiography ( CAG ) , two and three-dimensional echocardiography(2D-STE ,3D-STE) . According to CAG results ,the patients were divided into 3 groups:severe multi-vessel stenosis group ( n = 38 ) ,severe single-vessel stenosis group ( n = 22 ) ,and control group ( n =31) . All patients underwent two and three-dimensional echocardiography .3D-STE was applied to obtain left ventricular global longitudinal strain ( 3D GLS) ,global circumferential strain ( 3D GCS) ,global area strain (3D GAS) and global radial strain(3D GRS) . Receiver operating curve analysis was conduct to evaluate the diagnosis value of 3D-STE in severe multi-vessel coronary stenosis at resting state . Results 3D GLS ,3D GCS ,3D GAS and 3D GRS were decreased in the severe multi-vessel group and single-vessel stenosis group compared to those in the control group( P <0 .05) ;and greater decreases was observed in the severe multi-vessel stenosis group( P <0 .001) . Furthermore ,3D GLS and 3D GAS in the severe multi-vessel stenosis group were lower than those in severe single-vessel stenosis group( P <0 .05) . ROC curve showed that the cutoff value for 3D GLS was ≤ -11％ with a measurement sensitivity of 84 .2％ and cutoff value for 3D GAS was ≤ -20％ with a measurement specificity of 79 .3％ . A joint diagnostic test showed that the sensitivity was increased when 3D GLS was combined with at least one other parameters . Conclusions 3D-STE shows a great diagnostic potential when applied to detect severe multi-vessel coronary stenosis . Moreover ,GLS and GAS may act as more valuable indicators .
