Combined Efficacy of Global Longitudinal Strain and Epicardial Fat Thickness Measurement in Assessing Coronary Artery Disease Severity

Combined Efficacy of Global Longitudinal Strain and Epicardial Fat Thickness Measurement in Assessing Coronary Artery Disease Severity

ABSTRACT Context: More positive global longitudinal strain (GLS) and higher epicardial fat thickness (EFT) correlate with coronary artery disease (CAD) severity. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the combined efficacy of GLS and EFT measurement in predicting severity of CAD measured by coronar...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Context: More positive global longitudinal strain (GLS) and higher epicardial fat thickness (EFT) correlate with coronary artery disease (CAD) severity. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the combined efficacy of GLS and EFT measurement in predicting severity of CAD measured by coronary angiography. Study and Design: Prospective, observational study conducted in Government Medical College, Kottayam, Kerala, for 2 years. One thousand patients with ≥50 coronary stenosis were grouped as cases and 500 patients who had normal coronaries or
