Coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) was measured using adenosine stress echocardiography to evaluate CMD. Patients were divided into two groups: the CMD group (CFVR <b>≤</b> 2.0) and the control group (CFVR &gt; 2.0).

Compared to the control group, the CMD group showed a lower absolute value of GLS and a higher absolute value of GCS. After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that GLS (β: −1.119, OR: 0.327, 95% CI: 0.223–0.478, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001), GCS (β: 0.464, OR: 1.591, 95% CI: 1.239–2.042, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001) were independent predictors of CMD in ANOCA patients. The areas under the ROC curve of GLS, GCS, GRS, and the combination of GLS and GCS were 0.858, 0.687, 0.519, and 0.901, respectively. The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that CFVR was negatively correlated with GCS, with <i>r</i> values of −0.264 (<i>p </i>&lt; 0.001).

The combination of GLS and GCS demonstrated strong predictive value and diagnostic efficiency for CMD in ANOCA patients.

Routine postoperative pacemaker programming was performed, and the occurrence of AHREs was set as the study endpoint. Based on whether AHREs were recorded in pacemaker programming, patients were divided into the AHREs group and non-AHREs group. Clinical baseline data, serological indicators, and echocardiographic indices were compared between the two groups. Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlations between echocardiographic indices and permanent pacemaker implantation parameters (pacemaker threshold, pacemaker sensing, atrial output voltage).
