Objectives. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of coeliac disease on cardiac function in children using conventional transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE). Methods. Coeliac disease patients were evaluated in two different groups based on serum endomysial antibody (EmA) titers (EmA (+) and EmA (−)), and the data obtained by conventional and TDE studies were compared between the patient groups and healthy controls. Results. There was no significant difference between EmA (+) and EmA (−) groups in terms of the conventional TTE parameters, including ejection fraction (EF), fractional shortening (FS), and left ventricle end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), that show the left ventricular systolic function (P=0.727, P=0.317, P=0.118). TDE showed a significant difference in left ventricle (LV) isovolumic relaxation time (LV IVRT) and LV myocardial performance index (LV MPI) parameters between EmA (+) and EmA (−) patient groups (P<0.0001). Conclusion. The measurement of LV MPI and LV IVRT parameters by TDE would be beneficial in early determination of the cardiac involvement and establishing appropriate treatment and followup of patients with coeliac disease as well as in making distinction between EmA (+) and EmA (−) patients.

AbstractVentricular dysfunction is a well-known complication in single ventricle patients in Fontan circulation. As studies exclusively examining patients with a single left ventricle (SLV) are sparse, we assessed left ventricular (LV) function in SLV patients by using 2D-cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) feature tracking (2D-CMR-FT) and 2D-speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE). 54 SLV patients (11.4, 3.1–38.1 years) and 35 age-matched controls (12.3, 6.3–25.8 years) were included. LV global longitudinal, circumferential and radial strain (GLS, GCS, GRS) and strain rate (GLSR, GCSR, GRSR) were measured using 2D-CMR-FT. LV volumes, ejection fraction (LVEF) and mass were determined from short axis images. 2D-STE was applied in patients to measure peak systolic GLS and GLSR. In a subgroup analysis, we compared double inlet left ventricle (DILV) with tricuspid atresia (TA) patients. The population consisted of 19 DILV patients, 24 TA patients and 11 patients with diverse diagnoses. 52 patients were in NYHA class I and 2 patients were in class II. Most SLV patients had a normal systolic function but median LVEF in patients was lower compared to controls (55.6% vs. 61.2%, p = 0.0001). 2D-CMR-FT demonstrated reduced GLS, GCS and GCSR values in patients compared to controls. LVEF correlated with GS values in patients (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between GLS values from 2D-CMR-FT and 2D-STE in the patient group. LVEF, LV volumes, GS and GSR (from 2D-CMR-FT) were not significantly different between DILV and TA patients. Although most SLV patients had a preserved EF derived by CMR, our results suggest that, LV deformation and function may behave differently in SLV patients compared to healthy subjects.

Abstract Background Echocardiographic assessment of the left ventricular systolic function is essential in diagnosis and during the follow up of cardiovascular diseases. Although subjective visual approach method is easily applied, quantitative systems give more objective information about systolic function analyses. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the different quantitative methods of estimating systolic function basal in non-invasive techniques Methods We used a group of 40 patients, prospectively collected, under chemotherapy treatment with preserved systolic function. Same echocardiography device (Philips EPIQ-7) has been used in all studies (acquiring apical 4 and 2 chambers and 3 D of apical volume by an experimented operator). We compare three standard methods with impact in the literature (Speckle tracking and 3D Heartmodel system) to the echocardiographic gold-standard (Simpson’s biplane method). The Bland-Altman method has been used for the graphic comparison of the values of the resulting measures while the statistical comparison was made by a T-student method. Results Three quantitative methods were used to compare left ventricular systolic function assessment (Heart Model 3D (60.4% ± 5.2%), Strain (60.50% ± 7.1%), global longitudinal strain (-19.7 ± 3.15%) to Simpson’s biplane (mean 62.10% ± 5.75%). Values of differential means (2.73 with Heart model 3D and 2.08 with Strain) compared to Simpson’s biplane were translated to a Bland-Altman plot and means were compared with a T-student method. A statistically significant difference was found in case of the Heartmodel method compared with Simpson’s biplane (p &lt; 0.05), though it does not imply any clinical difference. Less time consuming and better segmentation of the cardiac cavities in just one beat with the 3D-Heart Model technique was a magnificent point compared to the Strain method that needed a postprocessing modification Conclusions Heartmodel method is probably the most time-saving and with a good accuracy of left ventricular systolic function assesment and it is not inferior compared to the echocardiographic gold-standard Simpson’s biplane method.
