Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate left ventricular systolic function in patients with different types of ischemic heart disease using two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI). Methods We retrospectively studied patients who were admitted to Peking University Third Hospital from January 2011 to December 2017 due to chest tightness and chest pain. Two hundred forty-two patients were divided into control group, CMD group and obstructive CAD group. The main coronary artery stenosis was confirmed by coronary angiography or coronary computed tomography and coronary flow reserve (CFR) in patients was measured by transthoracic Doppler echocardiography. Left ventricular strain and strain rate (SR) measured by 2D-STI. Cardiac structure and function were measured by conventional echocardiography. Results Conventional echocardiography showed that there was no significant difference in cardiac structure and function among the three groups (P > 0.05). Moreover, the longitudinal strain (LS) of each ventricular wall in CMD group was notably lower than that in control group (P < 0.01). In addition, global longitudinal SR and longitudinal SR in CMD group and obstructive CAD group were obviously lower than those in control group (P < 0.01). GLS, endocardial LS and epicardial LS were negatively correlated with CFR (P < 0.01). Conclusions Early left ventricular systolic dysfunction was found in patients with CMD and patients with obstructive CAD, with similar degree. CFR is an independent influencing factor of GLS. GLS and stratified LS have certain diagnostic value for CMD.

Abstract ObjectiveTo evaluate left ventricular systolic function in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (3D-STI). MethodsThirty patients with SLE (SLE group) and 30 healthy people (control group) were examined using 3D-STI, and their clinical characteristics were collected. The following conventional 3D parameters were obtained: left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), spherical index (SPI), left ventricular end-diastolic mass (LV EDmass), and left ventricular end-systolic mass (LV ESmass). The following 3D-STI strain parameters were obtained: global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), left ventricular twist angle (LVtw), torque (Tor), peak strain dispersion (PSD), and myocardial comprehensive index (MCI). Statistical analysis was used to analyze the differences in the above indicators among the groups and their correlations. ResultsLVEDV and LVEF decreased; LV EDmass and LV ESmass increased; GLS, GCS, LVtw, Tor, and MCI decreased; and PSD increased in the SLE group compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the area under the curve of the MCI was the highest (0.940), the sensitivity of the Tor and MCI was the highest (90.00%), and the specificity of the Tor was the highest (93.33%). Correlation analysis showed that there was a good correlation between the MCI and hs-TropT. ConclusionThe systolic function of the left ventricle is decreased in patients with SLE. 3D-STI technology can detect abnormal left ventricular systolic function in patients with SLE in the early stage.

Objective: To evaluate early changes in left ventricular systolic function in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (3D-STI). Methods: Thirty SLE patients and 30 healthy people (control group) were selected, the patients were further divided into subgroups according to their Safety of Estrogens in Lupus Erythematosus National Assessment version of the SLE Disease Activity Index (SELENA-SLEDAI) score: SELENA-SLEDAI ≤ 12 (mild-to-moderate group), SELENA-SLEDAI > 12 (severe group). Blood samples were obtained from patients and laboratory investigations were performed. All participants were examined using 3D-STI, the 3D conventional and strain parameters were obtained. The above parameters were compared in the three studied groups. Receiver operating curves (ROC) were prepared for above parameters and analyzed to identify correlations among LVEF, GLS, GCS, LVtw, Tor, MCI and hs-TropT. Results: Compared with the control group, the absolute values of LVEDV, LVEF, GLS, GCS, LVtw, Tor and MCI decreased, LV EDmass, LV ESmass and PSD increased in the mild-to-moderate and the severe groups (P2 < 0.05, P3 < 0.05). There was statistically significant difference in terms of strain parameters between the mild-to-moderate group and the severe group (P1 < 0.05). The highest area under the ROC for MCI was 0.909, the highest sensitivity for MCI was 90.00%, and the highest specificity for Tor was 86.67%. Correlation analysis showed that there was a good correlation between the MCI and hs-TropT (r = − 0.677). Conclusion: 3D-STI technology may help detect early changes in left ventricular systolic function in patients with SLE

And Function

Evaluation of ventricular systolic function and cavity dimensions is an essential part of the echocardiographic examination. Treatment strategy and decisionmaking for a patient’s condition is affected by systolic function. Echocardiography plays a major in monitoring the effects of therapy. Appropriate knowledge about how to assess left ventricular size, shape and function is thus crucial. This chapter demonstrates left chamber quantification through various measurements of left ventricular size and dimensions, left ventricular mass, left ventricularglobal function, regional wall motion, left ventricular segmentation, global left ventricular remodelling, and left atrial measurements. Techniques, advantages, and limitations of different methods and echocardiographic examinations are given throughout.

This study intends to use 3D cardiac anatomical model automatic quantitative technique Heart Model (HM) to assess left ventricular systolic function in patients with myocardial infarction. Thirty patients with myocardial infarction (case group) and 32 healthy individuals (control group) were enrolled in this study.M-mode echocardiography (MME), two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE), 3D cardiac anatomical model (HM) and real-time 3D echocardiography (3DE) were used to collect echocardiographic images. Left ventricular systolic function parameters (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were obtained from two post-surgical analysis of more than 5 years of experience. Compared to control group, MME, 2DE, HM, and 3DE were significantly higher in the LVEDV and LVESV cases and lower in the LVEF (P < 0 05). MME, 2DE, HM and 3DE were correlated and best correlation as found between HM and 3DE (P < 0 05). For the consistency of MME, 2DE, HM and 3DE, the best consistency was observed in the LVEF of HM and 3DE, and case group was lower than control (P < 0 05). In terms of repeatability of MME, 2DE, HM and 3DE, HM showed the best repeatability followed by MME. In comparison of the time of MME, 2DE, HM and 3DE, HM had shortest time (< 0 05). HM automatic quantitative technique can evaluate left ventricular systolic function in myocardial infarction patients, and it is simple, rapid and reproducible.

Background/Aim. Identification of patients with arterial hypertension and a possible onset of heart failure by determining the concentration of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) enables timely intensification of treatment and allows clinicians to prescribe and implement optimal and appropriate care. The aim of this study was to evaluate NT-proBNP in patients with longstanding hypertension and in patients with signs of hypertensive cardiomyopathy. Methods. The study involved 3 groups, with 50 subjects each: ?healthy? persons (control group), patients with hypertension and normal left ventricular systolic function (group 1) and patients with longstanding hypertension and signs of hypertensive cardiomyopathy with impaired left ventricular systolic function (group 2). We measured levels of NT-proBNP, Creactive protein and creatinine according to the manufacturer?s instructions. All the patients were clinically examined including physical examination of the heart with blood pressure, pulse rate, electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiogram. Results. Our results showed that the determined parameters generally differed significantly (Student?s t-test) among the groups. The mean (? SD) values of NT-proBNP in the control group, group 1 and group 2 were: 2.794 (? 1.515) pmol/L, 9.575 (? 5.449) pmol/L and 204.60 (84,93) pmol/L, respectively. NTproBNP correlated significantly with the determined parameters both in the group 1 and the group 2. In the group 1, the highest correlation was obtained with Creactive protein (r = 0.8424). In the group 2, the highest correlation was obtained with ejection fraction (r = - 0.9111). NT-proBNP showed progressive increase in proportion to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification. The patients in thegroup 2 who belonged to the II and III NYHA class had significantly higher levels of NTproBNP than those in the NYHA class I (ANOVA test, p = 0.001). Conclusion. The obtained results suggest that NTproBNP is a useful biomarker in the treatment of patients with longstanding hypertension who are at risk for heart failure.
