Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Atrial function is an integral part of cardiac function which is often neglected. The presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) may impair atrial function. This study investigated if atrial mechanical dysfunction was present in patients with CAD by tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDI).
METHODS:Echocardiography with TDI was performed in 118 patients with CAD, and compared with 100 normal controls with comparable age and heart rate. Regional atrial function was assessed at the left (LA) and right (RA) atrial free wall and inter-atrial septum (IAS). The peak regional atrial contraction velocity of (V(A)) and the timing of mechanical events were compared.
RESULTS:The V(A) in the LA (5.0+/-2.6 Vs 7.7+/-2.6 cm/s), IAS (4.8+/-1.7 Vs 5.7+/-1.5 cm/s) and RA (6.8+/-3.1 Vs 9.2+/-2.9 cm/s) were significantly decreased in patients with CAD when compared with controls (all p<0.001). Patients with impaired systolic function (ejection fraction
