Objective: Recent studies have showed that Tissue Doppler Imaging and Speckle Tracking Echocardiography can discover these changes at functional and structural cardiac in athletes at early stage, especially at the footballers. The purpose of this research was evaluated the structural and functional adaption of left ventricular in footballer by conventional and advanced echocardiography. Materials and methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 30 footballers who have been trained over 2 years compared to 30 healthy candidate with the same ages. We carried out TM, 2D, STE. Echo machine was Philips Affinity 50CV with QLAB version 10.04 which can analyze online or offline. Result: In comparison with control group, IVSd, LVEDd, PWTd, LVM, LVMI (p = 0.001) was different from athlete group. Left ventricular adaption trended to eccentric hypertrophy and increased left ventricular mass index. A wave was decrease velocity and increased E/A, E/El’, E/E’s ratio. Base circumferential strain, apex circumferential strain, rotation and twist (10.12 ± 1.2) (°) athletes (7.42 ± 2.6) (°) control group with (p = 0.05), were more than control group. Conclusion: Conventional and advanced echocardiography can evaluate structural and functional left ventricular adaption in athletes. Especially, STE provided more data in myocardial deformation, rotation and twist so that it can discover these changes at athlete heart in early stages Key words: Athletes heart, Speckle Tracking Echocardiography, Tissue Doppler Imaging

AbstractObjective:Anthracycline chemotherapeutic agents carry the well-recognised risk of cardiac toxicity. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term effect of anthracycline chemotherapy on the biventricular function in childhood cancer survivors using tissue Doppler imaging and two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography.Patients and Methods:The study included 45 survivors of childhood cancers and 50 healthy age-matched control patients. Cardiac function was prospectively studied with conventional echocardiography, tissue Doppler imaging, and speckle tracking echocardiography after completion of treatment. The same analysis was performed on matched controls.Results:There was no difference in age, gender, height, and weight between the study and control groups. The mean anthracycline dose was 240 ± 106 mg/m2 and the mean remission duration was 8.2 ± 5 years (1–20 years) in the study group. Conventional echocardiography showed similar ejection fraction, shortening fraction, and left ventricle end-diastolic diameter in both groups. Mitral lateral and septal tissue Doppler imaging showed normal but according to control group relatively sub-normal systolic and diastolic function in patient group. The global longitudinal and circumferential strain and strain rates were significantly lower in the patient group compared to control group. Correlation analysis revealed a negative and significant correlation between total anthracycline dose and global longitudinal and circumferential strain and strain rates.Conclusion:Sub-clinical systolic and diastolic dysfunction may not be detected by conventional echocardiographic methods which are frequently used in daily practice. Sub-clinical systolic and diastolic dysfunction may be detected more sensitively by echocardiographic method such as speckle tracking echocardiography in childhood cancer survivors.

Background: This study was designed to prospectively evaluate the changes in tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) at mitral and tricuspid annuli and two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in patients undergoing pericardiectomy for chronic constrictive pericarditis and identify the relationship if any of the tissue Doppler imaging and speckle echocardiographic derived variables with patient’s symptomatic status following surgery. Patients and Methods: Twelve patients undergoing pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis aged 7 years to 70 years (median 21; IQR: 19.75-26.5 years) were studied for 2-36 months (median 19 months). They underwent Doppler flow velocity, TDI, and 2D-speckle echocardiographic studies. Friedman’ test was used to test the changes in TDI-derived mitral and tricuspid annular velocities and speckle derived parameters in postoperative period from baseline. Results: Despite congestive heart failure, all patients had normal left ventricular ejection fraction and increased medial mitral and tricuspid early diastolic septal velocity (e¢) with “annulus reversus”. This pattern of annular velocity improved maximally in the immediate postoperative period. At closing interval, 2 (16.7%) patients continued to be in New York Heart Association class II and both of them continued to remain in atrial fibrillation. There was statistical significant improvement in the Global cirumferential strain than in global longitudinal and global radial strain after pericardiectomy. Conclusions: We conclude that tissue Doppler imaging and speckle tracking echocardiography are useful investigative modalities for serial evaluation of patients undergoing pericardiectomy. It can be performed serially with a high degree of reproducibility.
