To evaluate left ventricular (LV) regional systolic function and dyssynchrony in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) by real time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE).
The study population comprised 30 normal controls (NOR) and 44 patients with DCM. We divided the left ventricle into apical, middle, and basal regions. We calculated the LV regional end-diastolic volume ((R)EDV), regional end-systolic volume ((R)ESV), regional ejection fraction ((R)EF), and standard deviation in the time to minimal systolic volume in each level segment (Tmsv-SD) of the three regions by RT-3DE.
Compared with NOR, the (R)EDV, (R)ESV, and Tmsv-SD of DCM were significantly higher, whereas the (R)EF was lower (P < 0.01). In DCM, the Tmsv-SD increased smoothly from base to apex, and the (R)EF gradually decreased from base to apex (P < 0. 05). Linear correlation was observed between the Tmsv-SD of the middle region and 3D-EF in DCM (r =-0. 6829, P < 0.01).
RT-3DE provides a simple and feasible approach to quantify LV regional systolic function and dyssynchrony.
采用实时三维超声心动图(RT-3DE)评估扩张型心肌病(DCM)患者左心室(LV)的局部收缩功能及不同步性。
研究对象包括30名正常对照者(NOR)和44例DCM患者。我们将左心室分为心尖、中间和基底区域。通过RT-3DE计算三个区域每个水平节段的左心室局部舒张末期容积((R)EDV)、局部收缩末期容积((R)ESV)、局部射血分数((R)EF)以及达到最小收缩容积时间的标准差(Tmsv-SD)。
与NOR相比,DCM患者的(R)EDV、(R)ESV和Tmsv-SD显著更高,而(R)EF更低(P<0.01)。在DCM中,Tmsv-SD从基底到心尖平滑增加,(R)EF从基底到心尖逐渐降低(P<0.05)。DCM中间区域的Tmsv-SD与三维射血分数(3D-EF)之间存在线性相关性(r=-0.6829,P<0.01)。
RT-3DE为量化左心室局部收缩功能及不同步性提供了一种简单可行的方法。
