BACKGROUND:
A weak correlation has been reported between left ventricular filling pressures and the traditional echocardiographic tools for the evaluation of diastolic function in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). On the other hand, studies that compared invasive measurements with speckle tracking echocardiography have shown promising results, but they were not exclusively targeted on this specific population. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
Immediately before the left heart catheterization, a comprehensive two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography and speckle tracking analysis was prospectively performed in outpatients referred for coronary angiography. Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) was measured before any contrast exposure. Eighty-one patients with coronary artery disease were studied, and the group with high LVEDP (n = 40) showed increased left atrial volume index (22 +/- 6 mL/m(2) vs 26 +/- 8.26 mL/m(2) , P = 0.04), E-wave velocity (65 +/- 15 cm/s vs 78 +/- 20 cm/s, P = 0.02), E/e` (average) ratio (8.14 +/- 2.0 vs 11.54 +/- 2.7, P = 0.03), and E/global circumferential strain rate E peak ratio (E/GCSRE ) (39 cm vs 46 cm, P < 0.01). There was a positive correlation between LVEDP and E/e` (rho = 0.56; P = 0.03), and between LVEDP and E/GCSRE ratio (rho = 0.43; P < 0.01). The area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was 0.83 and 0.73, respectively (P < 0.05). E/e` and E/GCSRE were both independent predictors of elevated LVEDP (P < 0.05, with a higher C-statistic for the model including E/e` (0.89 vs 0.85).CONCLUSION:
The E/e` ratio was able to identify elevated LVEDP in CAD patients with preserved LVEF with more accuracy than the E/GCSRE ratio.(AU)
