Article Synopsis
- Respiratory maneuvers, like deep breathing, can reveal signs of heart issues, and a new test measuring pulse waves during these maneuvers shows promise in detecting significant coronary artery disease (S-CAD) through spectral analysis.
- The study involved a two-stage evaluation of this test (RSR) involving patients undergoing coronary angiography, comparing RSR values against angiographic results to determine the presence of S-CAD based on defined stenosis criteria.
- Results showed that patients with S-CAD had lower RSR values, with the test exhibiting 83% sensitivity and 70% specificity, making it a reliable noninvasive indicator for S-CAD when adjusted for other risk factors.
