Impaired left ventricular diastolic filling in patients with coronary artery disease: assessment with radionuclide angiography

RO Bonow, SL Bacharach, MV Green, KM Kent, DR Rosing, LC Lipson, MB Leon and SE Epstein

To assess left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling at rest in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), we analyzed high-resolution time- activity curves (10-20 msec/frame) obtained from gated radionuclide angiograms in 231 patients. Peak LV filling rate (PFR), expressed in end-diastolic volumes per second (EDV/sec), was subnormal in CAD patients (1.8 +/- 0.6 [+/- SD] vs normal mean of 3.3 +/- 0.6, p les than 0.001) and time to PFR (TPFR), measured from end-systole to PFR, was prolonged (171 +/- 41 msec vs normal mean of 136 +/- 23 msec, p less than 0.001). These indexes were also abnormal in the 141 patients with normal resting LV ejection fraction (PFR = 2.1 +/- 0.5 EDV/sec; TPFR = 175 +/- 36 msec) and in 123 patients without Q waves on the ECG (PFR = 2.1 +/- 0.5 EDV/sec; TPFR = 168 +/- 38 msec). Abnormal LV filling at rest (PFR less than 2.5 EDV/sec or TPFR greater than 180 msec) was found in 91% of all patients with CAD, 86% of patients with normal resting LV ejection fractions, 85% of patients without Q waves, and 82% of patients with normal resting LV ejection fraction, no resting regional wall motion abnormalities and no Q waves. Thus, LV diastolic filling, evaluated noninvasively by radionuclide angiography, is abnormal in a high percentage of patients with CAD at rest independent of LV systolic function or previous myocardial infarction.
