Assessment of the left ventricular longitudinal deformation failed to detect early changes after the second-stage percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with the acute coronary syndrome

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Primary intervention in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is often followed by the second-stage procedure when other atherosclerotic lesions are present. However, there no data regarding early effects such a strategy on left ventricular function. Speckle-tracking echocardiography has been proven sensitive method assessing myocardial Purpose The study aimed to assess results second stage percutaneous (PCI) patients with ACS. Methods group consisted 61 aged from 47 92 (mean age 66,3± 9,8) years, 21 women (34,4%) and 40 men (65,6%) who had treatment involved culprit-lesion only. All pts were optimally treated ischemic heart disease. PCI was performed up four months after Patients underwent transthoracic 48 hours before PCI. Using automated functional imaging (AFI), we analyzed global longitudinal strain (GLS) ventricle, GLS four-chamber view (GLS-4CH), two-chamber (GLS-2CH), three-chamber (GLS-3CH). We also assessed mean peak segments according standard assignment artery territories, i.e. anterior descending (LAD), right (RCA) circumflex (LCX). Results following group: 33 procedures artery, 15 13 artery. value ventricle slightly reduced compared currently established norm (GLS= −16.7%). did not result changes GLS. observe any significant territories (Table 1). Conclusions Despite sensitivity deformation technique function, present work does show an effect either or allocated each arterial territory.
