ABSTRACT

To evaluate the right ventricular systolic function in uremia patients and the effects of maintenance hemodialysis on right ventricular systolic function by volume and strain parameters obtained by 4D RV Volume . Methods Seventy‐six patients with uremia and twenty‐two controls were selected . According to left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF) ,uremia patients were divided into normal LVEF uremia group and decreased LVEF uremia group . T hen normal LVEF uremia group was divided into maintenance hemodialysis group and non‐dialysis group . Conventional ultrasound parameters included :LVEF ,pulmonary artery systolic pressure ( PASP) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion ( T APSE‐2D) . 4D RV Volume parameters included : right ventricular end‐diastolic volume ( RVEDV ) , tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion ( T APSE‐4D ) ,right ventricular area change rate ( FAC ) ,right ventricular ejection fraction ( RVEF) and right ventricular free wall longitudinal systolic strain ( RV‐GLSfree ) . Results①Compared with the control group ,T APSE‐2D decreased significantly in the decreased LVEF uremia group ( P <0 .05) ,w hile there was no significant difference of T APSE‐2D in normal LVEF uremia group ( P > 0 .05) . Compared with the control group and normal LVEF uremia group ,PASP increased significantly in the decreased LVEF uremia group ( P < 0 .05 ) . Compared with the control group ,RVEDV increased significantly both in the normal LVEF and decreased LVEF uremia group ,w hich showed an increasing trend in these three groups ( P <0 .05) ,while T APSE‐4D ,FAC ,RVEF and RV‐GLSfree all decreased significantly and showed a decreasing trend in these three groups ( P < 0 .05 ) . ② Compared with the control group , T APSE‐2D decreased significantly in non‐dialysis group ( P <0 .05) ,but there was no significant difference in uremia hemodialysis group ( P >0 .05) . Compared with the control group ,PASP and RVEDV increased and T APSE‐4D ,FAC ,RVEF and RV‐GLSfree decreased significantly in uremia hemodialysis group and non‐dialysis group ( P < 0 .05 ) . Compared with non‐dialysis group , T APSE‐2D and T APSE‐4D increased significantly in hemodialysis group ( P <0 .05) ,while there was no significant difference in RVEDV ,FAC , RVEF and RV‐GLSfree in uremia hemodialysis group ( P >0 .05) .

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore value of two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI) strain parameters in assessment of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony and its relationship with cardiac function in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).Methods Totally 25 patients with DCM and 25 age-matched normal controls were enrolled.The LV time to peak longitudinal strain (Tls) and time to peak circumferential strain (Tcs) were measured by 2D-STI,from which the standard deviations and maximal differences of the Tls in all 18 segments,6 segments at apical 4-chamber,3-chamber and 2 chamber views (Tls-SD,Tls-SD-4,Tls-SD-3,Tls SD-2,Tls dif,Tls-dif-4,Tls-dif-3,Tls-dif-2) were calculated,as same as the standard deviations and maximal differences of Tcs in all 18 segments,6 segments at mitral valve,papillary muscle,apical short-axis views (Tcs-SD,Tcs-SD-M,Tcs-SD-P,Tcs-SD-A,Tcs-dif,Tcs-dif-M,Tcs-dif-P,Tcs-dif-A) were calculated.Results Compared with the control group,the global and segmental strain parameters of the DCM group increased significantly (all P<0.05).Except for Tcs-dif-P and Tcs dif,the residual strain parameters were negatively correlated with LV ejection fraction (all P<0.05).Except for Tcs-dif-M,Tcs dif-P and Tcs-dif,there was a positive correlation between strain parameters and E/e in DCM group (all P <0.05).Conclusion In patients with DCM,LV dyssynchrony exists both in global and regional,which may aggravates the LV function damage.2D-STI strain parameters can objectively evaluate LV dyssynchrony and its relationship with cardiac function in patients with DCM.

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of three-dimensional printing atrial septal defect (ASD)models from three dimensional transesophageal echocardiography(3D-TEE)images and to lay the foundation for the application of 3D printing technology in the diagnosis and treatment of ASD.Methods Twenty patients with ASD were analyzed retrospectively.2D-TEE and 3D-TEE were performed before ASD occlusion.The 3D-TEE data were post-processed by Mimics software and the volume images of ASD in STL format were developed.Then the STL file was output and the ASD 3D models were printed.The ASD size parameters included the maximal diameter(Dmax),the minimal diameter(Dmin),circumference(C)and area(A),which were measured from 2D-TEE images,3D-TEE images and 3D printing models,respectively. The absolute difference value of ASD size parameters between 3D printing models and 2D-TEE images,or 3D-TEE images were calculated.The sizes of occluder were recorded during the operation and the preoperative exercises on 3D printing models were performed.Results There were no significant difference in ASD size parameters among 3D printing models,2D-TEE and 3D-TEE images(all P > 0.05),the ASD size parameters were concordant well between 3D printing models and 2D-TEE or 3D-TEE images. Moreover,the absolute difference value of ASD size parameters between 3D printing models and 2D-TEE or 3D-TEE images were little.In addition,linear regression analysis revealed a significant correlation in the Dmaxmeasured from 3D printing models and the sizes of occulder used in the operation(r =0.94,P <0.05).In the ASD 3D printing models the preoperative exercise had an impressive effect.Conclusions It is quite feasible to use 3D-TEE images as the data source of ASD 3D printing models.Ultrasound-derived ASD 3D printing models are of highly accuracy,which have the potential to provide evidence for the clinical application of 3D printing technology.
