RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to show the relationship between pulmonary pulse wave transit time (pPTT), pulmonary artery stiffness (PAS), and aortic stiffness parameters measured by non-invasive methods, HFpEF patients, and HFpEF scores (H2 FPEF, HFA-PEFF). METHOD: A total of 101 patients were included in our study, 52 of whom were HFpEF patients and 49 were control groups without heart failure. Echocardiographic parameters for PAS and pPTT were calculated, along with diastolic parameters that support the diagnosis of HFpEF. Aortic stiffness was assessed using a PWA monitor. Demographic features, laboratory findings, aortic stiffness parameters, and echocardiographic findings including pulmonary artery parameters were compared with the control group. RESULTS: PAS, pPTT, PWV were significantly higher in the HFpEF group than in the control group (p < 0.001). PAS and pPTT correlated positively with HFpEF scores. In linear regression analysis for PAS, a directly positive correlation was found between E/e' and PAS, independent of aortic stiffness. CONCLUSION: These parameters can be used as a predictive value in the diagnosis process of patients with suspected HFpEF. A significant relationship between PAS and ventricular stiffness (E/e') was shown independently of aortic stiffness.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Although the hepatic and neurological consequences of Wilson's disease (WD) have been investigated in detail, its cardiac involvement remains little studied. Our aim was to investigate potential cardiac differences in strain (ST) and strain rate (STR) echocardiography in adult WD patients compared with controls. METHODS: We included 30 patients with WD and a control group of 26 sex and age matched healthy adults. None of the subjects in either group had cardiac complaint. WD patients were clinically evaluated by a neurologist and undergone cranial magnetic resonance imaging. They were then divided into two groups according to the presence (NW) or absence (non-NW) of neurological involvement. Standard and advanced speckle tracking echocardiographic evaluations were performed in each group according to guidelines. RESULTS: Left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic diameters and wall thickness measurements were within normal limits and did not differ significantly between the groups (P > .05). Neither atrial peak longitudinal and circumferential ST variables nor LV global and longitudinal ST and STR variables showed significant differences between the NW, the non-NW, and the control group (P > .05). CONCLUSION: Our echocardiographic study showed no detectable difference between adult WD patients with or without neurological involvement and healthy subjects.
