Early onset of left ventricular regional asynchrony as an indicator of compromised coronary flow capacity and sub-clinical arterial stenosis

Conclusions: Our results indicate that CFC classification of arterial territories allows identification of LV ischemia at a subcritical degree of coronary stenosis. Further studies are warranted to determine whether the mild degrees of hypoperfusion and asynchrony seen at low levels of CFC have prognostic implications. . *p<0.05 vs CFC1; p<0.05 vs CFC2; §p<0.05 vs CFC3CategoryCFC1 (N = 95)CFC2 (N = 53)CFC3 (N = 110)CFC4 (N = 40)CFC5 (N = 17)% stenosis21±32%29±34%30±38%45±42%*75±37%*â §Asynch+SSS1.1±0.91.5±1.52.3±1.4*â 3.9±1.8*â §4.8±1.3*â §
