Abstract

Background: The incremental diagnostic value of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) and Tc-labeled sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography for the evaluation of the presence and extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) was assessed with ordered logistic regression and receiver-operating characteristic curves. Methods and Results: Forty-five consecutive patients (33 men and 12 women; 53±6.8 years) underwent exercise electrocardiography and simultaneous DSE and sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomographic imaging. Coronary angiography was performed in all patients (significant coronary stenosis >50%). On the basis of the results of exercise electrocardiography, the pretest probability for CAD (Diamond's algorithm) was low (45.6%±12.7%). According to ordered logistic regression analysis, some models were estimated that performed a diagnostic accuracy level for CAD. In particular, we evaluated a clinical model (model 1) determined by the following parameters: sex, age, presence of chest pain, and positivity of electrocardiogram during dobutamine stress test. This model was 64.3%±10.7% accurate for the prediction of CAD. The addition to model 1 of DSE parameters (wall motion stress and rest score index and relative difference) (model 2) yielded a diagnostic accuracy of 81.4%±4.3% ( p<0.045), whereas the addition to model 1 of single-photon emission computed tomographic parameters (the difference between perfusional stress and rest score index) (model 3) improved diagnostic accuracy to 92.3%±5.5% ( p<0.003), a level that appeared significantly higher than that of model 2 ( p<0.016). Conclusion: Both noninvasive methods for the detection of CAD showed a good diagnostic accuracy, especially when test-derived parameters were combined with clinical data. Nevertheless, the single-photon emission computed tomographic model showed a higher sensitivity compared with the DSE model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

We performed a standard vectocardiogram (VCG) in 87 diabetics, aged 20-77 years, orally- or insulin-treated, and in 41 normal subjects. None had cardiac history or symptoms. Among diabetics, 31 had no vectocardiographic abnormalities, 23 had various VCG changes, 33 showed electrical "bites'' of various length (6-22 msec) and voltage (0.05-0.3 mV). In 8 normal subjects (19.4%) we found "bites" of similar voltage and length as in diabetic patients. A significantly positive linear relation was found between "bites" length and diabetes duration, in insulin-dependent diabetics only. By step-wise regression analysis we detected, in all diabetic patients with "bites," at a fixed value of diabetes duration, a significantly negative relation between "bites" length and patients' age. Moreover, the insulin treated patients showed a metabolic regulation index significantly worse than orally-treated diabetics; also diabetes duration was significantly higher in insulin-treated subjects. If "bites" may reflect an early heart involvement in diabetes, insulin-dependent patients seem to have a more severe cardiac damage in dependence of the diabetes duration. Finally, in the younger diabetics the heart disease seems to be earlier and more advanced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
