Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a persistent inflammatory disease affecting the axial skeleton which may lead to cardiovascular involvement. We examined the relationship between the presystolic wave (PW), which is frequently encountered in the evaluation of the left ventricular (LV) outflow tract, and AS.
The study included 117 consecutive patients with 73 of them being male. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the participants were recorded and echocardiographic examination was performed.
Patients were categorized into two groups: patients diagnosed with AS ( = 64) and patients without AS ( = 53). LV ejection fraction ( = 0.014), LV mass index ( < 0.001), mitral E wave velocity ( = 0.002), and PW ( = 0.014) were independently linked with AS.
A substantial correlation was found between PW and AS.
强直性脊柱炎(AS)是一种影响中轴骨骼的持续性炎症性疾病,可能导致心血管受累。我们研究了左心室(LV)流出道评估中经常出现的收缩期前波(PW)与AS之间的关系。
该研究纳入了117例连续患者,其中73例为男性。记录参与者的人口统计学和临床特征,并进行超声心动图检查。
患者分为两组:诊断为AS的患者(n = 64)和未患AS的患者(n = 53)。左心室射血分数(P = 0.014)、左心室质量指数(P < 0.001)、二尖瓣E波速度(P = 0.002)和PW(P = 0.014)与AS独立相关。
发现PW与AS之间存在显著相关性。
