Purpose: In recent years, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been used to assess LV diastolic function. In this systematic review, studies were identified where CMR parameters had been evaluated in healthy and/or patient groups with proven diastolic dysfunction or known to develop heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. We aimed at describing the parameters most often used, thresholds where possible, and correlation to echocardiographic and invasive measurements. Methods and results: A systematic literature review was performed using the databases of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane. In total, 3808 articles were screened, and 102 studies were included. Four main CMR techniques were identified: tagging; time/volume curves; mitral inflow quantification with velocity-encoded phase-contrast sequences; and feature tracking. Techniques were described and estimates were presented in tables. From published studies, peak change of torsion shear angle versus volume changes in early diastole (−dφ′/dV′) (from tagging analysis), early peak filling rate indexed to LV end-diastolic volume <2.1 s−1 (from LV time-volume curve analysis), enlarged LA maximal volume >52 mL/m2, lowered LA total (<40%), and lowered LA passive emptying fractions (<16%) seem to be reliable measures of LV diastolic dysfunction. Feature tracking, especially of the atrium, shows promise but is still a novel technique. Conclusion: CMR techniques of LV untwisting and early filling and LA measures of poor emptying are promising for the diagnosis of LV filling impairment, but further research in long-term follow-up studies is needed to assess the ability for the parameters to predict patient related outcomes.

Từ khóa: Bệnh cơ tim giãn, rối loạn chức năng tâm trương thất trái, khuyến cáo ASE/EACVI 2016 ABSTRACT EVALUATION OF LEFT DYSTOLIC FUNCTION ACCORDING TO THE RECOMMENDATION ASE/EACVI 2016 INPATIENTS WITH DILATED CARDIOMYPAHTIES Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, characterized by dilatation of the heart chamber and a dysfunction of the left or both ventricles. It often leads to progressive heart failure, and is the leading cause of heart transplant among all cardiomyopathy. The annual rate of sudden cardiac death in dilated cardiomyopathy is 2 - 4%, with sudden death accounting for half of all deaths [9]. Echocardiography is an evaluation of a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy. There have been many studies on dilated cardiomyopathy in the world. However, there are still few studies evaluating diastolic function in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy using cardiac Doppler echocardiography. Experts around the world have made many recommendations in assessing left ventricular diastolic function, most recently is the recommendation ASE/EACVI 2016. Comparing with the 2009 EAE/ASE recommendation, the recommendation ASE/EACVI 2016 for assessment of left ventricular diastolic function has fewer parameters, so it is easier to implement and more convenient in clinical practice. Objective: Surveying left ventricular diastolic function according to the recommendation ASE/EACVI 2016 in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy by echocardiography and investigating the relationship between left ventricular diastolic function with left ventricular dilatation, heart failure NYHA, left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricle fractional shortening. Methods: Research was designed as a cross - sectional descriptive study. Studied on 56 patients with primary dilated cardiomyopathy were hospitalized and treated at Hue Central Hospital. Results: The results showed: The mean end - diastolic and end - systolic left ventricular diameters were 66,11 ± 7,3 mm and 57,7 ± 8,02 mm. The mean left atrial diameter was 40,61 ± 7,65 mm. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 24,68 ± 5,97%. The mean fractional shortening of left ventricular contraction was 12,91 ± 4,55%. All patients in the study group had left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. The highest proportion is diastolic dysfunction grade II (44,6%), followed by diastolic dysfunction grade III (35,8%) and diastolic dysfunction grade I is 19,6%. There was no statistically significant relationship between the classification of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and left ventricular systolic and diastolic diameter (p > 0.05). There is a relationship between left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and parameters of ejection fraction EF and contraction fraction FS (p < 0.005). There is a moderate positive correlation between the classification of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and the heart failure rating according to NYHA (r = 0,445, p < 0,001). Conclusion: All patients in the study group had left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, mostly grade II and grade III diastolic dysfunction. This disorder is clearly demonstrated by the change in the parameters of the left ventricular diastolic function assessment on echocardiography according to the 2016 ASE/ EACVI recommendations, a new recommendation introduced to approach the assessment of diastolic functionmore convenient and easier way. Key words: Dilated cardiomyopathy, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, the recommendation ASE / EACVI 2016.

Objectives. To evaluate the left ventricular diastolic function in patients with cirrhosis and to establish its relation to the degree of severity of liver disease as well as to biological markers of cardiac dysfunction. Methods. We included 72 patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in different degrees of disease progression. Cardiac parameters were evaluated by two-dimensional echocardiography and color Doppler. Results. In terms of diastolic echocardiographic function, 26 patients had normal diastolic function, 36 had grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, 8 had grade 2 dysfunction, and 2 patients had grade 3. Diastolic dysfunction was unrelated to age, gender and etiology of cirrhosis. Of all the echocardiographic parameters, left ventricular hypertrophy, right cavity dimensions, E wave deceleration time, left atrial volume were significantly higher in patients with diastolic dysfunction, correlated with the severity of cirrhosis. Significantly elevated NT-proBNP and TnI were seen among the patients with diastolic dysfunction. Conclusions. The present study shows that although diastolic dysfunction is common in cirrhosis, it is usually incipient and most often correlates with the severity of the liver disease (Child-Pugh class).

Introduction: Severe left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is associated with worse prognosis after acute myocardial infarction (MI). Twenty percent of patients have a restrictive filling pattern (RFP) following MI, and this is associated with a fourfold increase in mortality. The determinants of diastolic function in this setting are not well defined. Aim: We sought to determine the correlation between enzymatic infarct size and RFP in patients with a first ever MI. We hypothesized that a larger infarct size would result in greater impairment of left ventricular diastolic function. Methods: Data analysis was performed on consecutive patients admitted with first ever non-ST elevation MI (NSTEMI) or ST-elevation MI (STEMI) to a single large tertiary referral hospital from January 2013 to December 2014. All patients underwent coronary angiography during the index admission. Infarct size was determined by peak troponin I. Doppler transmitral flow pattern was obtained from the initial transthoracic echocardiogram performed within 48 hours of admission. RFP was defined as: E/A ratio >2.0 and/or E-wave deceleration time <160ms (American Society of Echocardiography Guidelines 2009). Results: Data were available on 645 consecutive patients who underwent coronary angiography for MI. We excluded 160 patients with a previous MI. Of the remaining 485 patients (mean age 62±13 years; mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 53±12%), there were 338 NSTEMIs (70%) and 147 STEMIs (30%). PCI was performed in 360 (74%) patients (single vessel (82%), ≥2 vessels (18%)); coronary artery bypass surgery in 58 (13%); and medical management in 67 (13%). Sixty-nine patients (14.4%) had RFP; 52% of these had a LVEF ≥45%. Peak troponin I levels were higher in the RFP group (31.8±30.9μg/L vs 16.8±25.2μg/L, p=<0.001). On multivariate analysis, infarct size by peak troponin I (OR 1.02, 95%CI 1.00-1.03, p=0.026) and low LVEF (OR 0.95, 95%CI 0.91-0.99, p=0.015) were the only independent predictors of RFP. Conclusion: Infarct size was a major determinant of diastolic dysfunction following first ever MI. Whilst LV systolic dysfunction was strongly associated with impaired diastolic function, 52% of patients with severe diastolic dysfunction had relatively preserved LVEF.

Background and Aims: Echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular diastolic function in patients with atrial fibrillation is a challenge as loss of atrial kick (A wave), beat to beat variability and left atrium enlargement despite normal atrial pressure make usual guideline based estimation difficult and inaccurate. Hence adoption of additional echocardiography parameters are necessary which are tricky and have varied results. Hence the aim of this study was to study various aspects of diastolic function in patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods: It was a hospital based prospective cross-sectional observational study conducted at cardiology unit, National Academy of Medical Sciences, Kathmandu and Shahid Gangalal National Heart Center, Kathmandu from 1st July 2018 to 30th June 2019. Results: Total of 92 patients were studied. About one third (34.8%) had diastolic dysfunction. Ratio of E/e’(14.65 ± 2.21 Vs 7.66 ± 1.18) , E/Vp (1.57 ± 0.14 Vs 1.20 ± 0.11), isovolumetric relaxation time (53.06 ± 13.82ms Vs 89.33 ± 9.88ms) and deceleration time of pulmonary venous diastolic wave (203.09 ± 26.13ms Vs 292.25 ± 36.32ms) were significantly different in patients with diastolic dysfunction compared to patients without diastolic dysfunction with sensitivity of 90.6%, 84.4%, 81.2% and 78.1% respectively. Conclusion: Diastolic dysfunction is a common entity in patients with atrial fibrillation. Echocardiography parameters like E/e’ ratio, isovolumetric relaxation time, E/Vp ratio and deceleration time of diastolic pulmonary wave were highly sensitive in detection of diastolic dysfunction.

Background In the past, cardiovascular involvement did not seem to be a common complication of HIV, but in recent years it has been described more frequently. With the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), the symptoms of cardiac disease has changed, as the number of HIV-infected patients with abnormal diastolic parameters has increased significantly, often presenting as symptomatic rather than asymptomatic. Objective To analyze for a possible correlation between HAART duration and left ventricular diastolic function in HIV-infected children. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2016 to December 2017 at the Cardiology and Allergy-Immunology Division/Department of Child Health, Universitas Udayana Medical School/Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar, Bali. Subjects with HAART were collected using a consecutive sampling method. The following data were recorded for each subject: age, sex, current stage of HIV, CD4+ level, as well as HAART regimen and duration of use. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed for tissue doppler imaging (TDI) of diastolic function. Spearman’s test was used to analyze the strength of correlation based on normality test results. Results This study involved 53 subjects, 21 of whom had impaired diastolic function. There was no correlation between HAART duration and diastolic function in children with HIV infection (r= -0.03; P=0.82). Conclusion Diastolic dysfunction is found in children under HAART treatment, but there is no correlation between HAART treatment duration and diastolic dysfunction.
