Coronary artery disease is one of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity across the world. Its treatment includes medical treatment, coronary artery bypass graft [CABG] and percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI]. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of PCI on echocardiographic findings of left ventricular [LV] systolic and diastolic function. 115 patients with coronary artery disease candidate for PCI were enrolled to our study. Echocardiography was done before PCI, the day after and 3-6 months later. LV systolic and diastolic function were measured and recorded. Echocardiographic finding compared with repeated measurement analysis. Mean age of the patients was 57.8 +/- 8.38 years. The mean Ejection Fraction [EF] was [%40.52 +/- 6.36] before, [%41.83 +/- 7.14] the day after, and [%44.0 +/- 7.89] 3-6 months after PCI. Diastolic dysfunction were mild to moderate before PCI, which in%74 [86 patients] were improved to mild dysfunction the day after PCI but not changed 3-6 months later [P<0.0001]. PCI improved LV ejection fraction, and LV diastolic function in our patient's population
