Table 3.
Detections of LVSD in Patients with QRS Duration < 120 ms N = 40 Positive, Negative N = 78
| Acoustic Cardiographic Parameter | AUC | Sensitivity at 90% Specificity | Additional LVSD Patients Detected* |
|---|---|---|---|
| S3 Strength | 0.65 | 33% (4.4) | 13 (28%) |
| % EMAT | 0.79 | 38% (12.5) | 15 (33%) |
| QRSdur* Qrint* S3Strength*%EMAT | 0.83 | 70% (166,585) | 28 (61%) |
*Compared to the LVSD patients detected in the entire population by QRS Duration >120 ms.
AUC = area under the receiver operating characteristic curve; EMAT = electromechanical activation time; LVSD = left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
