    Abstract:
    Patients with coronary artery disease often have impaired left ventricular diastolic filling despite normal global systolic function. The influence of regional systolic asynchrony on diastolic function was assessed by radionuclide angiography in 60 patients with coronary artery disease and normal ejection fraction at rest: group 1 (n = 30) with normal wall motion at rest and group 2 (n = 30) with abnormal wall motion. Data were compared with those obtained from 19 normal volunteers. Age, heart rate, ejection fraction and echocardiographic end-diastolic dimension did not differ among the three groups. Peak filling rate in group 1 and group 2 was similar (2.5 +/- 0.5 and 2.3 +/- 0.6 end-diastolic counts/s, respectively) and significantly lower than that in the normal subjects (2.8 +/- 0.7 end-diastolic counts/s; p less than 0.01 vs. group 2, p less than 0.05 vs group 1). Time to peak filling rate was prolonged in group 2 (184 +/- 27 ms) compared with that in normal subjects (162 +/- 19 ms; p less than 0.01) and group 1 (172 +/- 15 ms; p less than 0.05). Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure was significantly higher in group 2 than in group 1 (14 +/- 7 vs. 10 +/- 5 mm Hg, respectively; p less than 0.05). Asynchrony was assessed by sector analysis of the radionuclide left ventricular region of interest. Diastolic asynchrony was similar in the two patient groups (30 +/- 23 ms in group 2, 26 +/- 16 ms in group 1) and was higher in both groups than in the normal subjects (16 +/- 8 ms; p less than 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
