Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:This study sought to investigate the angiographic or intracoronary Doppler variables of stenosis severity that best correlate with the results of dipyridamole echocardiography. BACKGROUND:Quantitative coronary angiography and intracoronary Doppler flow velocity assessments are the commonly used techniques for the objective identification of significant coronary artery stenosis. METHODS:Thirty patients with an isolated lesion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) were studied by means of on-line quantitative coronary arteriography, intracoronary Doppler flow velocity measurements and dipyridamole echocardiography 6 months after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. The quantitative arteriographic analyses were performed on-line; post-stenotic Doppler flow velocities were measured at baseline and after adenosine infusion. Angiographic and Doppler measurements were compared with the corresponding dipyridamole echocardiographic data and analyzed by discriminant analysis. RESULTS:The dipyridamole echocardiographic response was positive in 11 patients (37%). The best cutoff values for predicting an abnormal echocardiographic response were 1) stenotic flow reserve of 2.8 (p = 0.0001); 2) 59% diameter stenosis (p = 0.0001); 3) minimal lumen diameter of 1.35 mm (p = 0.001); 4) coronary flow reserve of 2.0 (p = 0.0002); and 5) maximal peak velocity of 60 cm/s during hyperemia (p = 0.04). Multivariate analysis identified stenotic flow reserve as the only independent predictor of ischemia during dipyridamole echocardiography. CONCLUSIONS:Stenotic flow reserve is the variable that best describes the functional significance of an isolated LAD lesion, and a value of 2.8 is the best predictor of a positive dipyridamole echocardiographic response. Furthermore, angiographic variables of stenosis severity relate to echocardiographic test results better than intracoronary Doppler variables.
