Abstract:
Objective To assess the alterations of the systolic peak radial strain (RS) and the time to systolic peak radial strain(TRS) in ischemic myocardial segments with different extent of coronary artery stenosis using three-dimensional ultrasound speckle tracking imaging(3D-STI).Methods RS and TRS of 16 left ventricular segments were analyzed by 3D-STI in 87 patients,every left ventricular segment of all patients were divided into 5 groups according to coronary stenosis based on the results of selected coronary angiography:normal,≤25 %,>25 % - ≤50 %,>50 % - ≤ 75 %,> 75 %.All times were corrected by heart rate.Results In the coronary normal group,coronary stenosis extent ≤25% group and coronary stenosis extent >25% - ≤50% group,the variance of RS was non-significant( P >0.05).Compared with the coronary normal group,coronary stenosis extent ≤25% group and coronary stenosis extent > 25% -≤ 50% group,RS was decreased in groups of coronary stenosis >50% - ≤75% and >75%.Between the coronary normal group and coronary stenosis extent ≤25 % group,the variance of TRS was non-significant( P >0.05).Compared with coronary normal and coronary stenosis extent ≤25 % group,TRS was increased in groups of coronary stenosis >25% - ≤50%,>50% - ≤75%,>75%.Compared with group of coronary stenosis > 50% -≤ 75%,TRS was shorter in group of coronary stenosis > 75%,some variance was significant( P <0.05).Conclusions The RS was decreased along with the coronary stenosis increase,but TRS was increased along with the coronary stenosis increase.There is a tendency that TRS was decreased when the coronary stenosis is more than 75 % compared with the coronary stenosis >50% - ≤75 % group.3D-STI can access the regional radial systolic function of the ischemic myocardial segment.
