Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the index of global left ventricular longitudinal strain (GLS) and its relationship with some clinical and paraclinical parameters in patients with chronic coronary artery syndrome without indication for coronary artery revascularization.
Subjects and methods: 55 patients with chronic coronary artery syndrome were diagnosed by percutaneous coronary angiography or coronary artery computed tomography, then performed echocardiography, and analyzed the results using AFI software.
Results: The average GLS of the study group of patients was -19.17 ± 3.05% and had a moderate negative correlation with EF-Biplane (r=-0.391, p<0.01).
Conclusion: The average GLS in patients with chronic coronary artery syndrome without indication for coronary artery revascularization was -19.17 ± 3.05%, and had an inverse correlation with EF-Biplane on 2D ultrasound.
