Objective To evaluate left ventricular rotation and torsion and its early recovery after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary heart disease and normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) using two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography.Methods Twenty three consecutive patients with coronary heart disease and normal LVEF were divided into group B (with coronary stenosis ＜70％) and group C (with coronary stenosis ＞70％ and with PCI).Along with 11 healthy controls(group A),indices including basal rotation (BR),apical rotation (AR),left ventricular torsion (LVT) and normalized time to peak were compared among groups,correlative analysis was made between LVT and each indices mentioned above,indices of group C before and 24 hours after PCI were compared.Results AR,LVT in group B and C reduced relative to group A (P ＜0.05),meanwhile time to peak of BR in group C shortened relative to other groups.BR,AR and normalized time to peak of BR were correlated to LVT respectively.BR and LVT in group C increased after PCI(P ＜0.05).Conclusions AR was sensitive to ischemia,the reduction of time to peak of BR in group C might be restriction and compensation.Sensitive to early recovery of left ventricular function after reperfusion,BR could be a predictive index of early effect of percutaneous coronary intervention.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the effect of ticagrelor versus prasugrel on platelet reactivity,and provide evi-dence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,CJFD and Wanfang Database,randomized con-trolled trials(RCT)about the effect of ticagrelor versus prasugrel on platelet reactivity were collected. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man software after data extract and quality evaluation by Cochrane 5.1.0. RESULTS:Totally 17 RCTs were enrolled,involv-ing 2 757 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed,regardless of Verity Now(VN)detection method [MD=15.43,95%CI(-0.39, 31.25),P=0.06] or vasodilator stimulus phosphoprotein(VASP)detection method [MD=-3.04,95%CI(-8.98,2.90),P=0.32], ticagrelor and prasugrel had the same effects on platelet reactivity under loading dose,the differences were not statistically significant;regardless of VN detection method [MD=-48.94,95%CI(-58.04,-39.84),P<0.001] or VASP detection method [MD=-14.32, 95%CI(-20.45,-8.20),P<0.001],the effects of ticagrelor were better than prasugrel on platelet reactivity under maintenance dose,the differences were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS:At the loading dose,there was no difference between ticagrelor and prasugrel,but ticagrelor has more benefits than prasugrel under maintenance dose.
