Development of a resting myocardial contrast echocardiography multi-indicator diagnostic model for coronary heart disease: a preliminary study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies have demonstrated a good concordance between myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) results for myocardial perfusion assessment. Moreover, when combined with multiple indicators, MCE has shown superior diagnostic ability for detecting myocardial hypoperfusion compared to SPECT. However, no MCE multi-indicator diagnostic model has been reported to date. We aimed to develop a diagnostic model using resting MCE for detecting myocardial hypoperfusion.

Methods

Resting MCE and myocardial SPECT examinations were performed on 163 patients with clinically suspected or confirmed coronary heart disease (CHD) based on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) or coronary angiography (CAG). A total of 360
