Established Technique

In Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis (MS) the left atrial size (LAD) increases with the increment of pressure gradient between the left atrium and left ventricle and the chance of left atrial mural thrombi increases with the increment of left atrial size1.2. Two-dimensional echocardiography is a well established technique to assess the left atrial size3, LAD is measured by M-mode echocardiography in the standard parasternal long axis view4 and enlarged LAD in rheumatic mitral stenosis is seen in echocardiography1.2.

Introduction: Heart cycle includes systole and diastole when heart chambers are characterized by a complex motion. Aim: The present study was designed to test whether relationships exist between three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography-derived right atrial and routine two-dimensional echocardiography-derived left ventricular volumetric and functional parameters is healthy subjects. Method: The present study comprised 20 healthy volunteers. Complete two-dimensional echocardiography and three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography were perfomed in all cases. Results: Left ventricular ejection fraction showed correlations with systolic and diastolic right atrial volumes and area strain characterzing atrial contraction in diastole. Right atrial volumes respecting cardiac cycle correlated only with left ventricular end-systolic diameter and volume, while similar relationships could not be confirmed with end-diastolic parameters. Conclusions: Relationships could be demonstrated between three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography-derived right atrial and two-dimensional echocardiography-derived left ventricular volumetric and functional parameters in healthy subjects.

Introduction: Noncompaction cardiomyopathy develops due to the absence of myocardial compaction, and is associated with left ventricular dysfunction. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate comparatively left ventricular dysfunction in patients with noncompaction cardiomyopathy using two-dimensional echocardiography and three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography. Method: The present study comprised of 7 patients with noncompaction cardiomyopathy (62.9±8.5 years, 3 males) and 10 age- and gender-matched healthy controls (60.7±7.7 years, 2 males). All patients were examined by two-dimensional echocardiography and three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography for the evaluation of left ventricular function. Results: Increased left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction were detected in patients with noncompaction cardiomyopathy as compared to those measured in controls. All three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography-derived strain parameters of patients with noncompaction cardiomyopathy were found to be reduced as compared to the values of controls. Three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography-derived rotational parameters showed movements of the apical and basal segments in the same direction suggesting ’rigid body rotation’ in all noncompaction cardiomyopathy cases. Conclusions: Left ventricular function and contractility are severely reduced in patients with noncompaction cardiomyopathy. Absence of left ventricular twist could be demonstrated in a series of noncompaction cardiomyopathy patients. Orv. Hetil., 2013, 154, 1352–1359.
