چکیده
AIMS To determine the feasibility of strain rate imaging (SRI) in the objective detection of exercise-induced ischaemia. METHODS AND RESULTS Sixteen patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) underwent treadmill exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) pre- and post-PCI. Measurement of systolic SRI parameters was attempted in all myocardial segments at baseline, peak stress, and in recovery. Segments were divided into those supplied by target (Group 1) and non-target vessels (Group 2). Percutaneous coronary intervention was successful in all patients. In Group 1, there was no significant difference in post-systolic strain rate (SRps) at baseline or at peak stress but there was significantly greater SRps pre-PCI compared with post-PCI at 30 min into recovery (-0.37 +/- 0.53 vs. -0.07 +/- 0.44 s(-1), P = 0.004). There were similar findings with the SRps index [ratio of SRps:peak systolic strain rate (SRsys)]. Group 2 segments did not demonstrate any significant differences in SRI parameters pre- and post-PCI. At peak exercise pre-PCI, Group 1 segments had significantly delayed time to SRsys compared with Group 2 (0.12 +/- 0.05 vs. 0.09 +/- 0.05 s, P = 0.013), a difference that was abolished post-PCI. CONCLUSION This suggests a potential role for SRI in the objective detection of exercise-induced ischaemia by echocardiography at peak stress and during recovery at the time of improved image quality.

Introduction: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is an effective method for revascularizing of stenotic coronary vessels. Lack of response to this treatment, either in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients, is usually due to incomplete revascularization, restenosis, and/or irreversibility of myocardial perfusion. Introduction of a noninvasive metho...

AIMS The CARDia (Coronary Artery Revascularization in Diabetes) trial compared coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and optimal percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in diabetic patients with multivessel coronary disease. Patients enrolled had symptoms of myocardial ischaemia. As symptom assessment is flawed in diabetic patients, a substudy was undertaken to compare the extent to which the...

Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) has been widely used as a diagnostic and prognostic modality in the management of stress. DSE is associated with limited complications and adverse effects on the health of patients. In this case report, we described a 42-year-old female patient with dobutamine-induced coronary artery spasm with history of exertional dyspnea, which had deteriorated recent...
