Diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive investigations for coronary artery disease in hypertensive patients: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Non-invasive assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with hypertensive heart disease is still a major clinical challenge. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of different non-invasive techniques in detecting significant (> 50%) CAD in hypertensive patients.

Material and methods

We systematically searched selected electronic databases from inception until February 27^th 2024. The main clinical endpoint was the diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive investigations including exercise electrocardiography test (EET), stress echocardiography (SE) and myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). Random effects summary receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed.
