What does this research mean for the field?

Asymptomatic coronary artery disease is common in patients with valvular heart disease, indicating that routine coronary arteriography should be part of the preoperative investigation if coronary artery bypass grafting is considered.

Why the study?

Implication

Angina inconsistently predicts CAD by valve type; supports routine preoperative angiography but leaves optimal screening open.

Structured PICO

Does the presence of angina accurately predict significant coronary artery disease in patients with valvular heart disease?

Population

239 patients investigated for valvular heart disease (95 with isolated mitral valve disease, 90 with isolated aortic valve disease, and 54 with combined mitral and aortic valve disease)

Intervention

Coronary arteriography

Outcome

Incidence of significant coronary artery diseasesurrogate

Asymptomatic coronary artery disease is common in patients with valvular heart disease, supporting the need for routine preoperative coronary arteriography before valve surgery.
