Noninvasive differentiation of cardiomyopathy from coronary disease; pulse transmission time and systolic time intervals. 1976

S Berk, and M Kino, and D H Spodick

Systolic time intervals and central pulse transmission time were compared in cardiomyopathy (CM) patients and age-and sex-matched patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Significant differences were found in pulse transmission time (shorter in the CAD patients (p less than .001) and in the pre-ejection period (p less than .001), ejection time index (p less than .05), and in the ratio of the pre-ejection period to the left ventricular ejection time (p less than .001); all were markedly abnormal in the CM group. Pulse transmission time differences may have been the result of more generalized arteriosclerotic disease in the CAD patients. It appears that both systolic time intervals and pulse transmission time clearly distinguish CM from CAD.

D009202 Cardiomyopathies A group of diseases in which the dominant feature is the involvement of the CARDIAC MUSCLE itself. Cardiomyopathies are classified according to their predominant pathophysiological features (DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY; HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY; RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY) or their etiological/pathological factors (CARDIOMYOPATHY, ALCOHOLIC; ENDOCARDIAL FIBROELASTOSIS).

D011674 Pulse The rhythmical expansion and contraction of an ARTERY produced by waves of pressure caused by the ejection of BLOOD from the left ventricle of the HEART as it contracts. Pulses
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
