Speckle tracking echocardiography is a novel technique to quantify cardiac function and deformation. It has been applied in a series of cardiovascular diseases for the evaluation of early cardiac impairment. We recently used this technique to investigate cardiac structure and function in patients with primary aldosteronism. Cardiac damage usually occurs earlier in patients with primary aldosteronism than those with primary hypertension, probably because aldosterone hypersecretion is more commonly observed in the former than the latter patients. In this article, we will review the imaging studies, especially with speckle tracking echocardiography, for the detection of early cardiac dysfunction in primary aldosteronism as a disease model.
斑点追踪超声心动图是一种用于量化心脏功能和变形的新技术。它已被应用于一系列心血管疾病，用于评估早期心脏损害。我们最近使用该技术研究原发性醛固酮增多症患者的心脏结构和功能。原发性醛固酮增多症患者的心脏损害通常比原发性高血压患者出现得更早，这可能是因为前者比后者更常见醛固酮分泌过多。在本文中，我们将综述成像研究，特别是斑点追踪超声心动图，用于检测作为疾病模型的原发性醛固酮增多症中的早期心脏功能障碍。
