Introduction: In light of previous studies reporting the significant effects of preeclampsia on cardiac dimensions, we sought to evaluate changes in the left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic functions in patients with preeclampsia with a view to investigating changes in cardiac strain. <br /> Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated healthy pregnant women and pregnant women suffering from preeclampsia who were referred to our hospital for routine healthcare services. LV strain was measured by 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography. <br /> Results: Compared with the healthy group, echocardiography in the group with preeclampsia showed a significant increase in the LV end-diastolic diameter (47.43 ± 4.94 mm vs 44.84 ± 4.30 mm; P = 0.008), the LV end-systolic diameter (31.16 ± 33.3 mm vs 29.20 ± 3.75 mm; P = 0.008), and the right ventricular diameter (27.93 ± 1.71 mm vs 24.53 ± 23.3; P = 0.001). The mean global longitudinal strain was -18.69 ± 2.8 in the group with preeclampsia and -19.39 ± 3.49 in the healthy group, with the difference not constituting statistical significance (P = 0.164). The mean global circumferential strain in the groups with and without preeclampsia was -20.4 ± 12.4 and -22.68 ± 5.50, respectively, which was significantly lower in the preeclampsia group (P = 0.028).<br /> Conclusion: The development of preeclampsia was associated with an increase in the right and left ventricular diameters, as well as a decrease in the ventricular systolic function, demonstrated by a decline in global circumferential strain.

Background:Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is a rare and life-threatening connective tissue disease with multiple organ impairment. Cardio-pulmonary involvement is common: pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension (PH), and electrical disorders are the most serious complications and causes of increased mortality.Objectives:We evaluated features related with the onset and development of PH in a cohort of SSc patients. We further studied ecocardiographic abnormalities, by means of 2D-speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) with specific reference to the right ventricular strain measure (RV-strain).Methods:We analyzed data from 50 SSc patients (pts) referred to our University-based Rheumatology Centre and SSc Unit from January 2007 to June 2019 (F/M 45/5; lc/dcSSc 45/5; mean age 59.20±14.357 years; mean disease duration 12.08±8.75 years). All pts underwent general and cardio-pulmonary assessment in our Cardio-Rheumatology Clinic. The following parameters were considered: blood exams, in particular inflammation indexes, uric acid test and serum autoantibodies; pulmonary function tests; high resolution scan of the lungs (HRCT); standard electrocardiogram (ECG) and RV-strain measured by 2D-STE. These examinations were performed according to clinical picture and current methodologies. We compared SSc subjects with (10/50) and without (40/50) PH diagnosis during follow-up regardless of treatments.Results:SSc pts with PH didn’t show significant alterations concerning RV-strain if compared with pts without PH (p=0.707). Nevertheless, RV-strain value was modified in relation to TAPSE alterations in all pts but this data correlated with right ventricular dilatation only in PH subjects. Furthermore, interesting significant values about dilatation of right and left atria (p=0.007, p=0.048), dilatation of inferior vena cava (p=0.037) and right ventricle (p=0.023) were observed. Left ventricular hypertrophy (p=0.012) as well as valvular insufficiencies (mitral and aortic) were more frequent in PH group too (p=0.016). These pts showed higher incidence of skin ulcers (p=0.0001), higher values of blood pressure (p=0.004), elevated uric acid levels (p=0,027) and anti-centromere antibodies positivity (p=0.0001).Conclusion:Our research provides further evidence of the prognostic value of echocardiographic findings in SSc subjects, with focus on PH. Population enlargement is ongoing in order to identify more accurate results about RV-strain, considering the efficacy of PH treatments on cardiac contractility. Speckle tracking echocardiography proves to be a sensitive, low-cost, non-invasive and reliable tool to detect early cardiac impairment in Ssc, full of potential future prospects.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract Background Quantitative assessment of valve regurgitation using volumetric method by comparing right and left ventricular stroke volumes is still under investigations. Aims To investigate the accuracy of tomographic equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography (t-ERV) for the quantification of tricuspid regurgitation (TR). Methods and results Sixty-one patients (44 men; mean age 59±12 years) who underwent both t-ERV and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) studies within 2 weeks for right ventricular systolic function assessment were eligible for inclusion. A sub-group of 22 patients underwent both t-ERV and CMR. Patients with mitral/aortic regurgitation by TTE were excluded of the study. TR regurgitant volume (RVol) was calculated using the proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) method from TTE and the volumetric method (right ventricular stroke volume minus left ventricular stroke volume) from t-ERV. RVol tended to be higher using the ERV volumetric method as compared to PISA method (43±35 and 35±33 ml, respectively; P<0.0001). There was a significant correlation between RVol as assess by ERV and by TTE (R=0.95, P<0.0001). Intraclass correlation coefficient between TTE and ERV for TR quantification was 0.95 (P<0.0001). Among patients who underwent CMR, the correlation between RVol obtained by TTE and by t-ERV and CMR were R=0.81 and R=0.75, respectively (all P<0.0001), without difference between the two correlations (P=0.263). Linear regression (left) and Bland-Altma Conclusion TR assessment using the t-ERV correlates well with PISA from TTE in patients referred for right ventricular systolic function assessment.
