Abstract: Objective To investigate the value of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography 17 regional volume curves index in patients with heart transplantation. Methods Sixty patients with heart transplantation (no rejection), ten patients with heart transplantation (rejection), forty subjects with normal left ventricular(LV) function were examined by Philips iE33 with a X3-1 probe. Results Parameter index of 17 segment time to minimal systolic volume in patients with heat transplantation (rejection) were more than those in patients with heart transplantation (no rejection) and in subjects with normal LV function(all P <0.05). Parameter index of 17 segment time to minimal systolic volume were not significantly different in patients with heart transplantation (no rejection) compared with subjects with normal LV function. Parameter index of Tmsv16-SD (%), Tmsv12-SD (%) and Tmsv6-SD (%) show higher sensitivity and specificity for forecast rejection after heart transplantation. Conclusions Real-time three-dimensional 17 regional volume curves index can fast forecast early rejection after heart transplantation.
