Key result
Myocardial performance index showed a significant positive correlation (r=0.718) with the SYNTAX score in patients with stable obstructive coronary artery disease.

MPI may aid noninvasive CAD complexity assessment in stable disease; leaves open prospective outcome validation.
Objectives: To investigate the relationship between severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) assessed with SYNTAX score (SS) and myocardial performance index (MPI) in stable CAD.

A 2016 study conducted a cross-sectional in Stable Coronary Artery Disease (n=100). Obstructive coronary artery disease (SYNTAX score severity) vs. Normal coronary angiogram (non-obstructive CAD) was evaluated on Correlation between Myocardial Performance Index (MPI) and SYNTAX score (SS) (r = 0.718, p=<0.001). Myocardial performance index showed a significant positive correlation (r=0.718) with the SYNTAX score in patients with stable obstructive coronary artery disease.
