: Anatomical and functional damage of the mitral valve (MV) apparatus in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is secondary to left ventricular (LV) injury, leading to functional mitral regurgitation (FMR). Real-time four-dimensional echocardiography (RT 4DE) is a useful imaging technique in different pathologies, including DCM. Left atrial (LA) strain, as measured by left atrium quantification software, is an accurate technique for evaluating increased filling pressure. The MV has a complex three-dimensional morphology and motion. Four-dimensional echocardiography (4DE) has revolutionized clinical imaging of the mitral valve apparatus. This study aims (1) to characterize the mitral annulus (MA) parameters in patients with DCM and advanced-stage heart failure (HF) according to etiology and (2) to find correlations between left atrial function and MA remodeling in this group of patients, using 4DE quantification software. A total of 82 patients with DCM and an LV ejection fraction ≤ 40% were recruited. Conventional 2DE and RT 4DE were conducted in DCM patients with a compensated phase of HF before discharge. The measured parameters were left atrial reservoir strain (LASr), annular area (AA), annular perimeter (AP), anteroposterior diameter (A-Pd), posteromedial to anterolateral diameter (PM-ALd), commissural distance (CD), interregional distance (ITD), annular height (AH), nonplanar angle (NPA), tenting height (TH), tenting area (TA), and tenting volume (TV). Measured parameters revealed more advanced damage of LA and MA parameters in ischemic compared to nonischemic etiology. Univariate analysis identified AA, AP, A-Pd, PM-ALd, CD, ITD, TH, TA, and TV ( < 0.0001) as determinants of LASr. Including these parameters in a stepwise multivariate logistic regression, PM-ALd ( = 0.03), TH ( = 0.043), and TV ( = 0.0001) were the best predictors of LAsr in these patients. The results of this study revealed the correlation between LA function depression and MA remodeling in patients with DCM.
扩张型心肌病(DCM)患者二尖瓣(MV)装置的解剖和功能损害继发于左心室(LV)损伤,导致功能性二尖瓣反流(FMR)。实时四维超声心动图(RT 4DE)在包括DCM在内的不同病理情况下是一种有用的成像技术。通过左心房定量软件测量的左心房(LA)应变是评估充盈压升高的准确技术。二尖瓣具有复杂的三维形态和运动。四维超声心动图(4DE)彻底改变了二尖瓣装置的临床成像。本研究旨在(1)根据病因对DCM和晚期心力衰竭(HF)患者的二尖瓣环(MA)参数进行特征描述,(2)使用4DE定量软件在这组患者中寻找左心房功能与MA重塑之间的相关性。共招募了82例左心室射血分数≤40%的DCM患者。在出院前处于HF代偿期的DCM患者中进行了传统二维超声心动图(2DE)和RT 4DE检查。测量参数包括左心房储备应变(LASr)、瓣环面积(AA)、瓣环周长(AP)、前后径(A-Pd)、后内侧至前外侧径(PM-ALd)、瓣叶交界距离(CD)、区域间距离(ITD)、瓣环高度(AH)、非平面角(NPA)、帐篷高度(TH)、帐篷面积(TA)和帐篷体积(TV)。测量参数显示,与非缺血性病因相比,缺血性病因中LA和MA参数的损害更严重。单因素分析确定AA、AP、A-Pd、PM-ALd、CD、ITD、TH、TA和TV(<0.0001)为LASr的决定因素。将这些参数纳入逐步多因素逻辑回归分析,PM-ALd(=0.03)、TH(=0.043)和TV(=0.0001)是这些患者LASr的最佳预测指标。本研究结果揭示了DCM患者LA功能降低与MA重塑之间的相关性。
