Ischemia during exercise stress testing, an indication of coronary vasomotor dysfunction?
Background
Recently it has been suggested that coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) may explain the high false-positive rate of exercise electrocardiographic stress testing (EST). However, patients with angina but non-obstructive coronary artery disease (ANOCA) present with a broader spectrum of coronary vasomotor dysfunction (CVDys), namely coronary artery spasm (CAS), CMD or a combination of both. We aim to investigate the diagnostic value of EST for the entire CVDys spectrum.
Methods
We included patients who underwent coronary function testing (CFT) in the Radboud University Medical Center. For each patient we requested the most recent EST report. ESTs were denoted as positive for ischemia if clinically significant ST-segment depression was detected. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) with 95% confidence intervals for the diagnosis of CVDys and its endotypes.
Results
Of the 105 included patients (87 % women, mean age 57 (±8) years), 22 (21 %) had ischemia during EST. CVDys was diagnosed in 94 patients (90 %), of whom 58 patients had an isolated endotype (CAS: n = 51, CMD: n = 7) and 36 patients had CAS and CMD. Ischemia during EST yielded a high specificity and PPV for CVDys (specificity: 100 % (71.5–100 %), PPV: 100 % (84.6–100 %)), which remained reasonably similar for CAS (specificity: 94.4 % (72.7–99.9 %), PPV: 95.5 % (77.2–99.9 %)), but was lower for CMD (specificity: 85.5 % (74.2–93.1 %), PPV: 59.1 % (36.4–79.3 %)).
Conclusions
Ischemia during EST is highly specific for CVDys in general and can be an indicator for CAS and to a lesser extent for CMD in patients with ANOCA.
期刊介绍:
IJC Heart & Vasculature is an online-only, open-access journal dedicated to publishing original articles and reviews (also Editorials and Letters to the Editor) which report on structural and functional cardiovascular pathology, with an emphasis on imaging and disease pathophysiology. Articles must be authentic, educational, clinically relevant, and original in their content and scientific approach. IJC Heart & Vasculature requires the highest standards of scientific integrity in order to promote reliable, reproducible and verifiable research findings. All authors are advised to consult the Principles of Ethical Publishing in the International Journal of Cardiology before submitting a manuscript. Submission of a manuscript to this journal gives the publisher the right to publish that paper if it is accepted. Manuscripts may be edited to improve clarity and expression.
