Abstract

Objective: To evaluate of the results of cardiac shock waves therapy for 6 months in treatment ischemic heart disease. Subject and method: A prospective, cross-sectional study with comparison and follow-up for 6 months on 65 ischemic heart disease patients with refractive angina pectoris according to criteria of ESC 2013 managed at Internal Cardiology Department of the 108 Military Central Hospital from March 2015 to March 2021. The following parameters will be evaluated including symptoms of angina and the exercise tolerance, breathlessness, echocardiography and myocardial perfusion imaging after 6 months. Result: The symptoms of angina improved signif icantly (amount of chest pain 6.26 ± 2.59 to 0.58 ± 0.56 times; using of nitroglycerin reduced per week from 6.34 ± 2.62 to 0.6 ± 0.55 times/week). The 6-minute walking test all improved (280.8 ± 71.1m compared with 388.6 ± 44.4m). CCS angina class improved significantly CCS 3 (59.46% to 0%), CCS 4 (16.92% to 0%). In the group with heart failure, NYHA grade improved significantly (NYHA III from 13.85% to 1.54%, NYHA IV was no more cases). NT-proBNP decreased (942.75 ± 1618.37 to 410.45 ± 461.54pg/ml). EF Simpson's after treatment (48.48 ± 10.57%) was higher than before treatment (43.89 ± 12.27%). Wall motion septal index (WSMI) decreased from 1.54 ± 0.18 to 1.28 ± 0.15). GLS improved from -10.28 ± 2.82 to -12.48 ± 2.67. After treatment average score of SSS (17.45 ± 8.61 versus 12.18 ± 7.89); SRS (11.09 ± 7.74 versus 9.46 ± 7.23), SDS (4.37 ± 2.31 versus 2.57 ± 1.56), markedly improved with p<0.05. The degree of severe perfusion defect and the wide perfusion defect area decreased significantly after treatment by 46.2% to 12.3% and 60% to 26.2%, respectively. There was no rise of cardiac enzymes and complicated arrhythmias were not observed during the study period. Conclusion: The treatment of ischemic heart disease by cardiac shock wave therapy has obvious efficacy.
