Accuracy Evaluation of Regional Wall Motion Abnormality in Echocardiography and Cardiac Enzymes in the Diagnosis of Ischemic Heart Disease

Echocardiography and cardiac enzymes test are the tests to assess ischemic heart disease. The purpose of this study was to verify the accuracy by comparing and analyzing two tests for the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease. A retrospective study was conducted on 393 study subjects who underwent echocardiography and cardiac enzymes test. As a result of the study, regional wall motion abnormality (RWMA) increased as the age of the study subjects increased. As a result of ROC analysis, RWMA showed a larger area under the curve (AUC) than cardiac enzymes. RWMA showed the highest accuracy with 81.1% of all cardiac enzymes. Among cardiac enzymes, cTnI showed the highest accuracy. Thus, It was confirmed that RWMA of echocardiography is more accurate than cardiac enzyme is in diagnosing ischemic heart disease.
