The added value of ST-elevation in lead aVR to clinical thrombolysis in myocardial infarction risk score in predicting the angiographic severity and extent of coronary artery disease in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome

Background Rapid diagnosis of coronary artery disease has an important role in saving patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate if aVR lead ST-elevation (STE) can predict LM/3VD, left main (LM) disease, and three-vessel disease (3VD), outcome in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. Methods In this systematic review and meta-analysis, 45 qualified studies were entered. Scopus, Pub med, Google scholar, Web of science, Cochrane library were searched on 12 November 2021. Results This systematic review includes 52,175 participants. In patients with STE, the total odds ratios for LM, 3VD, and LM/3VD were 5.48 (95% CI 3.88, 7.76), 2.21 (95% CI 1.78, 3.27), and 6.21 (95% CI 3.49, 11,6), respectively. STE in lead aVR was linked with in-hospital death (OR = 2.99, CI 1.90, 4.72) and 90-day mortality (OR = 3.09, CI 2.17, 4.39), despite the fact that it could not predict 30-day mortality (OR = 1.11, CI 0.95, 1.31). The STE > 1 mm subgroup had the highest sensitivity for LM (0.9, 95% CI 0.82, 0.98), whereas the STE > 0.5 mm (0.76, 95% CI 0.61, 0.90) subgroup had the highest sensitivity for LM/3VD. The appropriate cut-off point with highest specificity for LM/3VD and LM was STE > 1.5 mm (0.80, 95% CI 0.75, 0.85) and STE > 0.5 mm, respectively (0.75, 95% CI 0.67, 0.84, I2 = 97%). Conclusion The odds of LM and LM/3VD were higher than 3VD in ACS patients with STE in lead aVR. Also, STE > 0.5 mm was the best cut-off point to screen LM/3VD, whereas for LM diagnosis, STE > 1 mm had the highest sensitivity. Furthermore, LM/3VD had a higher overall specificity than LM.
