Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the left ventricular function and the synchrony of myocardial ischemic segments in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) after PTCA and stent implantation by quantitative tissue velocity imaging (QTVI). Methods Thirty-six patients with isolated left anterior descending stenosis (≥75%) were examined by QTVI three days before, one week and one month after successful PTCA and stent implantation to measure the following items of 5 different left ventricular segments: peak systolic velocity( Vs), early diastolic velocity (Ve), late diastolic velocity (Va), time to peak systolic velocity(Ts). Then the coefficient of variation (SD/mean) of the 5 different Ts were calculated.Results The value of Vs,Ve and Va were decreased and the Ve/Va ratio was reverses three days before PTCA + stent. Compared with that before PTCA + stent,the value of Vs and Ve were increased significantly in one week ( P ＜0. 05) and one month( P ＜0.01 ) after PTCA + stent,respectively,the value of Va was not statistically significant. Ve/Va ratio was recovered in one week after PTCA treatment. Ts and Ts-SD were shorted dramatically in one week( P ＜0. 05) and one month( P ＜0.01 ) after PTCA + stent compared with that before PTCA + stent in which Ts were prolonged more than 33 ms. Conclusions QTVI can quantitatively assess the left ventricular function and the synchrony of myocardial ischemic segments, and can be used to real-time detect the changes of function and synchrony of left ventricle after PTCA and stent implantation.
