Aim of the study was to identify the effects of myocardial revascularization on the prognosis in patients with altered coronary blood flow detected by transthoracic ultrasound.Material and Methods. Four hundred and twelve (412) patients were included in the study. The inclusion criterion was coronary velocity more than 70 cm/s during echocardiography. The study population was divided into three groups: Group 1 comprised patients with high velocities in the coronary arteries detected by ultrasound, in whom myocardial revascularization was performed; Group 2 comprised patients with high velocities in the coronary arteries, in whom myocardial revascularization was not performed and; the Control Group comprised patients with normal coronary blood flow according to ultrasound. The follow-up period was 10–11 months.Results. Seventeen (17) deaths (4.7%) occurred during follow-up. Death rates were 1.6 vs. 8.1 vs. 0% in Group 1, Group 2 and the Control Group, respectively, with a p-value for the difference between Group 1 and Group 2 (p1) of Conclusions: 1. Left artery coronary flow velocities over 70 cm/s indicate a high probability of death or acute coronary events within 10.5 months.2. Myocardial revascularization has a significant positive effect on the survival rate and incidence of acute coronary events in patients with coronary artery flow velocities greater than 70 cm/s.3. Patients with high coronary blood flow velocities should be referred to coronary angiography or other diagnostic tests without waiting for clinical manifestations and specific symptoms for coronary artery disease. |
