The Relationship Between Coronary Artery Tortuosity And Left Ventricular Diastolic Functions

Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the relationship between coronary tortuosity and left ventricular relaxation disorder using conventional new diastolic function parameters evaluated with echocardiography. Methods: A total of 131 patients who underwent angiography for suspected artery disease were included in study. compared obtained echocardiography (CAT) normal arteries. Results: There was no correlation conventionally measured functions tortuosity. However, we significant findings such as myocardial performance index (MPI), early mitral inflow velocity, annular velocity (E/e΄). Especially, had moderate or severe tortuosity, there a increase anterior septal wall MPI. The E/e΄ ratio found be significantly higher moderate–severe Discussion Conclusion: CAT is common invasive cardiology. Tissue Doppler may useful determining dysfunction these patients.
