ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the value of early evaluation of left ventricular global systolic function in patients with metabolic syndrome(MS) by three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STI).Methods 33 healthy subjects and 41 MS subjects who didn't have the left ventricular remodeling were recruited in this study,and the myocardial motions were tracking by 3D-STI.The parameters of left ventricular global longitudinal peak systolic strain(LS),circular peak systolic strain(CS),radial peak systolic strain(RS) and area peak systolic strain (AS) and the values of body mass index (BMI),waist circumference,waist-to-hip ratio and biochemical indicators were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with controls,LS of MS group was significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.01),while no significantly differences were found in CS,RS,and AS(P ＞0.05).The BMI,waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio were positive correlated with LS (r =0.559,0.617,0.681,P ＜0.01).Conclusions 3D-STI could early evaluate the changes of left ventricular global systolic function for metabolic syndrome patients,and longitudinal peak systolic strain could be the most sensitive index.
ABSTRACT
Hypertrophic cardiomypathy is a genetically heterogeneous cardiac disease transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait,mostly caused by mutant of myofribrilla gene such as β-MHC, MYBPC3, cTnT.cTnI,cTnC, a-Tm and some other gene which coding non-myofribrilla. Different mutant caused different regional myocardium systolic or diastole function, which involve in dysfunction of systolic and diastolic deformation, increase of the sensitive of Ca2+ . This review summarizes the most common gene mutations in hypertrophic cardiomypathy and explains the changes of myocardial functions.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare hemodynamic changes under general anesthesia with those under general + epidural anesthesia during endotracheal intubation in senile patients.Methods:Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ senile patients aged 65-75 years were equally randomized into a G(general anesthesia) and a GE(general + epidural anesthesia) group and received intravenous injection of sufentanil 0.2 ?g/kg,midazolam 0.06 mg/kg,vecuronium 0.12 mg/kg and propofol 1.6 mg/kg for general anesthesia induction and endotracheal intubation.SBP,DBP,HR,EDV,SV,EF and CO were recorded at 5 different time points,i.e.,before induction(T0),just before intubation(T1),immediately after intubation(T2),1 minute after intubation(T3),and 5 minutes after intubation(T4) via ultrasoundcardiogram.Results:Significant hemodynamic changes were observed in both groups(P
