Abstract
Background: Global Longitudinal index (GLS) as a noninvasive diagnostic method can be influenced by coronary artery disease (CAD). In addition diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN) as two main risk factor of coronary involvement can affect to GLS. Therefore, the aim of this evaluation was to compare echocardiographic GLS in DM and HTN patients with significant CAD with DM and HTN patients without CAD. Method: In a case-control study conducted (2020-2021) in the hospitals of Ahvaz, 72 patients with and without CAD with risk factors for DM and hypertension, were examined. So that after selecting study samples that have the necessary criteria to participate in the study, the amount of GLS is calculated in each group of patients. After the data were obtained in the expressed groups, in comparison with these values, paired t-test and independent t-test and Anova, Mann-Whitney, and Levene's Test were used. P Value lower than 0.05 was consider as significant value. Results: From 42 patients without CAD and 38 patients with coronary artery disease, the mean and standard deviation of age in patients with CAD was 61.00±8.00 and in the control group was 54.09±10.00 (P = 0.019).
