Myocardial strain measured by speckle-tracking echocardiography detects subtle regional and global left ventricular dysfunction. Myocardial strain is measured in the longitudinal, circumferential, and radial dimensions; however, it is unclear which dimension of strain is the best predictor of postoperative outcomes.
A secondary analysis of prospectively collected data from a clinical trial (NCT01187329).

Myocardial deformation analysis from standardized investigative transesophageal echocardiographic examinations performed after induction of anesthesia.
The authors compared the ability of intraoperative global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), and global radial strain (GRS) strain to predict adverse postoperative outcomes, including prolonged hospitalization and the need for pharmacologic hemodynamic support after cardiac surgery. The association of GLS, GCS, and GRS with prolonged hospitalization (>7 days) and the need for pharmacologic hemodynamic support, with epinephrine or norepinephrine after cardiopulmonary bypass, were assessed using separate multivariable logistic regression models with adjustment for multiple comparisons. Of 100 patients, 86 had acceptable measurements for GLS analysis, 73 for GCS, and 72 for GRS. Worse GLS was associated with prolonged hospitalization [odds ratio [OR] (98.3% confidence interval [CI]) of 1.21 (1.01-1.46) per-unit worsening in strain (p = 0.01, significance criterion <0.0167)] and the need for inotropic support with epinephrine [OR (99.2% CI) of 1.81 (1.10-2.97) per-unit worsening in strain (p = 0.002, significance criterion <0.0083)], but not norepinephrine. GCS and GRS were not associated with adverse outcomes.
GLS, but not GCS or GRS, predicts prolonged hospitalization and the requirement for inotropic support with epinephrine after AVR.

作者比较了术中整体纵向应变(GLS)、整体周向应变(GCS)和整体径向应变(GRS)应变预测术后不良结局的能力,包括住院时间延长和心脏手术后需要药物血流动力学支持。使用多变量逻辑回归模型分别评估 GLS、GCS 和 GRS 与住院时间延长(>7 天)和需要药物血流动力学支持(心肺转流后使用肾上腺素或去甲肾上腺素)的关系,并进行了多次比较调整。在 100 名患者中,86 名患者的 GLS 分析可接受,73 名患者的 GCS 分析可接受,72 名患者的 GRS 分析可接受。GLS 越差与住院时间延长相关[每单位应变恶化的比值比(OR)(98.3%置信区间[CI])为 1.21(1.01-1.46)(p=0.01,显著性标准<0.0167)],并且需要使用肾上腺素进行正性肌力支持[OR(99.2%CI)为 1.81(1.10-2.97)(p=0.002,显著性标准<0.0083)],但与去甲肾上腺素无关。GCS 和 GRS 与不良结局无关。
GLS 但不是 GCS 或 GRS 可预测 AVR 后住院时间延长和需要使用肾上腺素进行正性肌力支持。
