Abstract
- Global longitudinal strain (GLS) and mechanical dispersion (MD), as determined by 2D speckle tracking echocardiography, have been demonstrated to be reliable indicators of prognosis in a variety of cardiovascular illnesses. There are not many papers that discuss the prognostic significance of GLS and MD in a population with non-ST-segment elevated acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Our study objective was to examine the predictive utility of the novel GLS/MD two-dimensional strain index in NSTE-ACS patients. Before discharge and four to six weeks later, echocardiography was performed on 310 consecutive hospitalized patients with NSTE-ACS and effective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Cardiac mortality, malignant ventricular arrhythmia, or readmission owing to heart failure or reinfarction were the major end points. A total of 109 patients (35.16%) experienced cardiac incidents during the follow-up period (34.7 ± 8 months). The GLS/MD index at discharge was determined to be the greatest independent predictor of composite result by receiver operating characteristic analysis. The ideal cut-off value was −0.229. GLS/MD was determined to be the top independent predictor of cardiac events by multivariate Cox regression analysis. Patients with an initial GLS/MD > −0.229 that deteriorated after four to six weeks had the worst prognosis for a composite outcome, readmission, and cardiac death according to a Kaplan–Meier analysis (all p < 0.001). In conclusion, the GLS/MD ratio is a strong indicator of clinical fate in NSTE-ACS patients, especially if it is accompanied by deterioration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
