Article Synopsis
- The study investigates cardiac mechanics in patients with Ischemia and non-obstructive coronary artery stenosis (INOCA) using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) during stress echocardiography (SE).
- A total of 135 patients were recruited, divided into two groups based on their coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR): normal (95 patients) and abnormal (35 patients).
- Results show that while 2DSTE values at rest were similar, during peak SE, the normal CFVR group exhibited better heart mechanics, indicated by lower global longitudinal strain and better layer-specific strain compared to the abnormal CFVR group, highlighting coronary microvascular dysfunction
