Purpose: Phase analysis was recently developed to allow left ventricular(LV)mechanical dyssynchrony to be assessed by gated single-photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) . However, few studies have analyzed LV dyssynchrony during pharmacological stress and at rest by applying phase analysis to detect multivessel coronary artery disease(CAD)using the SyncTool TM . Methods: Adenosine triphosphate(ATP)loading electrocardiogram-gated 99m Tc-sestamibi SPECT was performed on 180 patients with suspected or known CAD. LV dyssynchrony was evaluated using the SyncTool TM ; the phase standard deviation(SD)and histogram bandwidth were derived. Results: The summed stress score(SSS) , summed difference score(SDS) , post-stress increase in phase SD, and histogram bandwidth were greater in 78 patients with multivessel CAD than in 102 patients with insignificant or single-vessel CAD. In the detection of multivessel CAD, SSS of >9 and SDS of >5 showed sensitivities of 74% and 74%,and specificities of 71% and 78% respectively, whereas an increase in phase SD>8.3°and in histogram bandwidth >16°after ATP loading had sensitivities of 62% and 74% and specificities of 77% and 68%, respectively. A multivariate logistic analysis revealed that the identification of multivessel CAD was superior with the combination of a post-ATP increase in phase SD, increase in histogram bandwidth, and SDS(sensitivity 82%, specificity 76%, chi-square=80.0)than with SDS alone (sensitivity 74%, specificity 78%, chi-square=58.9) . Conclusion: The addition of ATP-induced LV dyssynchrony parameters to conventional perfusion analysis enabled the superior identification of patients with multivessel CAD.
