“…As it is a simpler method that does not require the use of radiation, which has been shown to induce cell damage, this study has focused on SE, which was necessary to diagnose CAD with sensitivities ranging from 44 to 100%. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] These data are extremely valid for actions to be taken in order to spread the method to the population, so that the diagnosis of CAD is made as early as possible and the appropriate treatment, so that we reduce the high incidence of deaths from cardiovascular causes in the country.…”

“…Čelutkienė et al, 22 Kataoka et al, 23 and Gurunathan et al 25 concluded that the myocardial deformation assessed by SE is an important ischemia marker that in the case of Čelutkienė et al 22 could not be replaced by an automated model.…”

“…In the SA cohort, the diagnostic accuracy of FFR was similar to the results of previously published studies with smaller sample sizes. 13,22,28) Decreasing the FFR cutoff value from < 0.80 to < 0.75 improved the concordance of FFR with DSE in the SA group without significant changes in its discriminatory power (according to AUC values). In the ACS group, the lower cutoff value further deteriorated the diagnostic performance of FFR.…”

“…20) In patients with insufficient image quality for native wall motion evaluation, an intravenous ultrasound contrast agent (Sonovue, Bracco, Italy) was administered. 22) Endpoints were determined as the maximum dose of pharmacological agents, achievement of at least age-predicted submaximal (85%) target heart rate, echocardiographic positivity for ischemia [new or worsening wall motion abnormality (WMA) or biphasic response in !2 contiguous myocardium segments], or severe chest pain or as per the patient's request. 20) In regional distribution, coronary supplying areas were determined as following: left anterior descending (LAD) artery with nine segments (apical septal, mid.…”
