Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of torsion on remodeling and function of left ventricle by two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging(2D-STI) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM).MethodsThirty-nine patients with DCM and thirty-five controls accepted conventional echocardiography,pulsed-wave Doppler tissue imaging examination.Basal and apical short-axis view of left ventricle were accorded for Q-lab analysis.Indices included:left ventricular diameter in end diastole (LVEDd),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),left ventricular sphericity index (LVSI),left ventricular mass index (LVMI),e-wave of mitral valvular flow (E),velocity of mitral annulus in systole (S),velocity of mitral annulus in early distole ( E'), E/ E',rotation of left ventricle at basal and apical level(Rbasal,Rapical),twist (T),torsion (T').Results Compared with controls,LVEDd,LVMI of patients with DCM increased significantly,LVEF and LVSI decreased significantly,S and E' decreased significantly,E/ E' increased significantly.Patients with DCM were divided into two groups:group DCM-1 (clockwise rotation at apical level) and group DCM-2 (countclockwise rotation at apical level).Compared with controls,Rasal,Rapical,T,T' of two DCM groups decreased significantly.Compared with group DCM-1,Rbasal,Rapical,T,T' of group DCM-2 decreased significantly,LVEDd,LVMI increased significantly,LVEF and LVSI decreased significantly,E' decreased significantly,E/ E' increased significantly.Conclusions The torsion of left ventricle decrease in patients with DCM,DCM patients with decreased or reversed torsion of left ventricular apex have more severe LV remodeling or damage of LV function.
