Intraoperative Assessment of Coronary Artery Stenosis by 2D Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography: The Correlation Between Peak Strain Rate During Early Diastole and the Severity of Coronary Artery Stenosis in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
The effects of inhalation anesthetics on cardiac function and the low correlation between transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiographic measurements may alter the ability of transesophageal echocardiography-derived strain rate during early diastole to detect coronary artery stenosis in anesthetized patients. The authors assessed the correlation between coronary artery stenosis and strain-based parameters during early diastole in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
