Extravascular lung water (EVLW) was quantitatively measured in 81 patients consisting of 10 subjects with normal cardiac function and 71 patients with left-sided heart diseases, using 99mTc-RBC as a non-diffusible indicator and 99mTc-DTPA as a diffusible indicator in the equilibrium phase. EVLW averaged 3.0 +/- 1.4 (ml/kg, mean +/- SD) in subjects with normal cardiac function (n = 10), 4.3 +/- 1.7 in New York Heart Association functional class I patients (n = 30), 4.8 +/- 2.4 in NYHA functional class II patients (n = 33) and 9.4 +/- 5.4 in NYHA functional class III (n = 8) patients. EVLW was greater in NYHA class III than in normal controls or NYHA classes I or II (p < 0.01). Lung thermal volume (LTV) was also measured in 31 of the 81 patients using a double indicator dilution technique with sodium and heat. LTV averaged 6.0 +/- 1.2 (ml/kg) in normal subjects (n = 4), 8.6 +/- 2.0 in NYHA functional class I patients (n = 11), 9.7 +/- 3.0 in NYHA functional class II patients (n = 13), and 15.9 +/- 8.2 in NYHA functional class III patients (n = 3). The correlation between EVLW and LTV was significant (EVLW = 0.79 x LTV - 72.8, r = 0.80, p < 0.01). There were significant differences in EVLW/LTV ratio between NYHA class III (0.93 +/- 0.16) and NYHA class I (0.62 +/- 0.22). Thus, it was shown that EVLW was increased in left-sided heart failure and that LTV overestimated the EVLW.
采用99mTc - RBC作为非扩散指示剂、99mTc - DTPA作为平衡期扩散指示剂,对81例患者进行血管外肺水(EVLW)的定量测量,其中包括10例心功能正常的受试者和71例左侧心脏病患者。心功能正常的受试者(n = 10)的EVLW平均为3.0±1.4(ml/kg,均值±标准差),纽约心脏协会(NYHA)心功能I级患者(n = 30)为4.3±1.7,NYHA心功能II级患者(n = 33)为4.8±2.4,NYHA心功能III级患者(n = 8)为9.4±5.4。NYHA心功能III级患者的EVLW高于正常对照组或NYHA心功能I级或II级患者(p < 0.01)。还采用钠和热双指示剂稀释技术对81例患者中的31例进行了肺热容积(LTV)测量。正常受试者(n = 4)的LTV平均为6.0±1.2(ml/kg),NYHA心功能I级患者(n = 11)为8.6±2.0,NYHA心功能II级患者(n = 13)为9.7±3.0,NYHA心功能III级患者(n = 3)为15.9±8.2。EVLW与LTV之间的相关性显著(EVLW = 0.79×LTV - 72.8,r = 0.80,p < 0.01)。NYHA心功能III级(0.93±0.16)与NYHA心功能I级(0.62±0.22)之间的EVLW/LTV比值存在显著差异。因此,研究表明左侧心力衰竭时EVLW增加,且LTV高估了EVLW。
