ABSTRACT

Background: The decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has been observed to be associated with three-vessel coronary disease in nuclear medicine studies; however, the role played by LVEF decrease has not been studied with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Objective: To assess the association between LVEF decrease and cardiac ischemia in patients with CMR studies with adenosine. Method: Cross-sectional, comparative study. Inclusion criteria were: patients assessed with CMR with adenosine between January 2009 and June 2015. LVEF change was compared between patients testing positive for ischemia versus those who tested negative. Results: Fifty nine patients were included: 41 were males (70%), mean age was 59.7 ± 10.9 years; 38% of the studies tested positive for ischemia. Delta LVEF (post-stress LVEF – resting LVEF) was –0.16 ± 5.9 versus 5.3 ± 4.7 (p ‹ 0.001) in patients with and without ischemia, respectively. Conclusion: Patients who tested positive for ischemia had lower delta LVEF than those with negative studies for ischemia.
