Recent investigations have demonstrated that resting cardiac cycle-dependent variation of integrated backscatter closely paralleled the contractile reserve in patients with chronic left ventricular ischemic dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to validate whether ultrasonic tissue characterization (UTC) compared with dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) and thallium-201 stress-reinjection single-photon emission computed tomography (Tl-SPECT) could predict reversible myocardial dyssynergy in patients with chronic coronary artery disease. Forty-eight patients with stable coronary artery disease underwent UTC, DSE, and Tl-SPECT simultaneously before successful coronary revascularization and were followed up with echocardiograms at rest >3 months later. Among the 58 investigated segments, the weighted amplitude, a composite parameter derived from the integrated backscatter power curve, was larger for those groups with greater functional recovery (p <0.001). For the persistent akinetic segments, the weighted amplitudes were small with large deviations of the nadir ratios that represented the asynchrony between the intramural contractile events and the global systole. Using the cut-off value 2.0 of the weighted amplitude, the sensitivity and specificity for predicting functional improvement after revascularization were both 82.8% (κ = 0.66) and comparable to the sensitivity and specificity of DSE and Tl-SPECT. UTC, delineating the myocardial physical state and intramural contraction, can be a novel approach in predicting functional improvement of chronic dyssynergy after revascularization.
