Abstract:Objective: To apply layer-specific strain (LSS) to assess the left ventricular of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) to identify whether myocardial strain can predict the presence of complex multi-vessel disease of the coronary artery. Methods: A total of 116 patients with suspicious CAD in Taizhou Hospital from January 2014 to December 2015 were included. All patients were underwent coronary angiography and were divided into 3 groups: control group (no significant coronary stenosis was considered as a <50% reduction of vessel diameter in every coronary artery and its main branch, n=29), 1-2 vessel disease group [1-vessel disease (1VD) or 2-vessel disease (2VD) was defined as a ≥50% reduction of lumen diameter in 1 or 2 major coronary artery n=43] and complex CAD group (left main branch and/or 3VD of each coronary lesion with ≥50% stenosis, n=44). Endocardial, mid-myocardial, epicardial global longitudinal (GLS) and circumferential stain (GCS) of left ventricules were measured by LSS. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to analyze the predictive value of GLS and GCS for complex multivessel disease. Results: Compared with controls, endocardial, mid-myocardial, epicardia GLS and GCS in complex CAD were all statistically reduced (P<0.01). Compared with 1-2VD, endocardial, mid-myocardial, epicardial GLS and endocardial, mid-myocardial GCS in complex CAD were all significantly reduced (P<0.05). By ROC analysis, GLS showed better diagnostic accuracy for identifying complex CAD: the cutoff value of endocardial GLS was -21.00%; the sensitivity and specificity were 75.0% and 75.0% respectively; the cutoff value of mid-myocardial GLS was -18.65%; the sensitivity and specificity were 72.2% and 70.5% respectively; the cutoff value of epicardial GLS was -15.95%; the sensitivity and specificity were 73.6% and 70.5% respectively. However,endocardial GLS demonstrated the highest value with 0.50 in Youden index. Conclusion: The measurement of GLS, especially endocardial GLS, might be a non-invasive method to identify complex CAD.
