Several echocardiographic parameters are currently used to evaluate left ventricular (LV) filling pressure. However, these parameters are not always consistent in the clinical setting. We aimed to determine a novel parameter by multiplying log B-type natriuretic peptide (lnBNP) and the ratio of mitral inflow early and late diastolic filling velocities (E/A) for the prediction of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP).
One hundred ninety-eight patients suspected of chronic heart failure were analyzed. The product of lnBNP and E/A (BNP × E/A) showed the highest correlation coefficient with mean PCWP (R = 0.7326) compared with E/A (R = 0.7010) and E/e' (R = 0.3922). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that BNP × E/A was associated with elevated PCWP (odds ratio 1.640, 95% confidence interval 1.312-2.197; P <.01). In the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for detecting elevated PCWP, BNP × E/A showed the largest area under the curve (AUC) compared with E/A and E/e' (0.880 vs 0.827 and 0.788, respectively; P <.05). BNP × E/A still showed large AUC (0.842) for detection of elevated PCWP in patients with normal LV ejection fraction.
BNP × E/A is a useful parameter for detecting elevated PCWP regardless of the LV ejection fraction.
目前有几种超声心动图参数可用于评估左心室(LV)充盈压。然而,这些参数在临床环境中并不总是一致的。我们旨在通过将 B 型利钠肽(lnBNP)的对数和二尖瓣血流早期和晚期舒张充盈速度的比值(E/A)相乘,确定一种预测肺毛细血管楔压(PCWP)的新参数。
对 198 例疑似慢性心力衰竭的患者进行了分析。lnBNP 与 E/A 的乘积(BNP×E/A)与平均 PCWP 的相关性最高(R=0.7326),而 E/A(R=0.7010)和 E/e'(R=0.3922)则次之。多变量逻辑回归分析显示,BNP×E/A 与 PCWP 升高相关(比值比 1.640,95%置信区间 1.312-2.197;P<.01)。在用于检测 PCWP 升高的受试者工作特征曲线分析中,与 E/A 和 E/e'相比,BNP×E/A 显示出最大的曲线下面积(AUC)(0.880 比 0.827 和 0.788,分别;P<.05)。在 LV 射血分数正常的患者中,BNP×E/A 检测 PCWP 升高时仍具有较大的 AUC(0.842)。
无论 LV 射血分数如何,BNP×E/A 都是检测 PCWP 升高的有用参数。
