Peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) is used to evaluate left atrium (LA) function in patients with mitral stenosis (MS), before and after percutaneous transmitral commissurotomy (PTMC) and mitral valve replacement (MVR).
Patients with severe symptomatic MS, who were referred to our echocardiographic laboratory for a diagnostic examination before cardiac surgery or PTMC from October of 2014 to October of 2015, were included in the study.
The peak systolic global LA strain improved post-PTMC (P < 0.001) and post-MVR (P = 0.012). This difference was statistically highly significant.
PALS is impaired in patients with severe symptomatic MS and improved acutely after treatment and may be a good indicator of LA function and may predict the right time for intervention on mitral valve.
采用心房纵向应变峰值(PALS)评估二尖瓣狭窄(MS)患者经皮二尖瓣交界切开术(PTMC)和二尖瓣置换术(MVR)前后的左心房(LA)功能。
纳入2014年10月至2015年10月因严重症状性MS转诊至我院超声心动图实验室进行心脏手术或PTMC术前诊断检查的患者。
PTMC术后(P < 0.001)和MVR术后(P = 0.012),收缩期整体LA应变峰值改善。这种差异具有高度统计学意义。
严重症状性MS患者的PALS受损,治疗后急性改善,可能是LA功能的良好指标,可预测二尖瓣干预的合适时机。
