Abstract:
BACKGROUND: At present, Doppler tissue imaging can be used extensively to make a quantitative assessment of left ventricular regional myocardial function. Postsystolic shortening is a delayed relaxation in regional myocardium following acute ischemia.OBJECTIVE: To observe longitudinal wall motion characteristics in left ventricular regional myocardiun and evaluate the clinical significance of postsystolic shortening in isovolumic relaxation period.DESIGN: Case-control observation.SETTING: Heart Center of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital.PARTICIPANTS: We selected 30 myocardial infarction inpatients hospitalized in the Heart Center of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital between April 2003 and September 2003 as myocardial infarction group; another 30 patients with non-cardiac diseases were set as control group. Subjects of the two groups volunteered in the experiment.METHODS: Dynamic images were collected and information was analyzed off-line. Left ventricular myocardial velocity and time velocity integral profiles were acquired along long axis asynchronously in basal and mid- segments of different walls. Peak velocity of isovolumic contraction period (VIC), ejection period (Ye), isovolumie relaxation period (VIR), rapid filling period (VRF) and atrial systole (VAS) and maximum time velocity integral (TVIMAX) in regional myocardium were measured.Doppler in different segments at longitudinal wall of myocardium in the the two groups.RESULTS: Thirty patients were recruited in myocardial infarction group and control group separately and all of them entered the result analysis ocardium was lower in myocardial infarction group than in control group,especially in infarcted segments, suggesting that the function of cardiac contraction and relaxation in patients with myocardial infarction was demyocardial isovolumic relaxation in myocardial infarction group, indicating period and isovolumic relaxation period in TVIMAX in myocardial infarction group.mal movement at isovolumic relaxation phase suggests the presence of postsystolic shortening and abnormal wall motion in regional myocardium.chemic myocardium.
