Description

In 23 normal subjects, 37 CAD-NMI and 14 CAD-MI, left ventricular function was assessed using an automatic method from equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography. Early diastolic function was measured for evaluating its clinical value in coronary artery diseases. The results showed that PFR was more sensitive than the others for detecting ischaemic heart disease. There were significant difference on PFR between normal subjects and CAD-NMI group (p < 0.01) and PFR values of 35 in 37 CAD-NMI were lower than that of normal subjects. The order of sensitivity in other indices were TPFR(20/37, p<0.01)=PER(20/37, p<0.01)>TPER(17/37, p<0.05)>EF(16/37, p>0.05). There were also significant difference in PFR, PER and EF between CAD-NMI and CAD-MI (p<0.01), while there was no difference in TPFR and TPER(p>0.05)
