Abstract:
Objective To evaluate regional and global left ventricular systolic function after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) by speckle tracking imaging (STI).Methods Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed in 32 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) preoperative and 3 months after CABG.The two-dimensional data were obtained in apical 4-chamble,2-chamble and long axis view.Peak systolic longitudinal strain (SLs),global longitudinal systolic strain (GLS) and average global strain(GLS-Avg) were measured using STI.30 healthy volunteers were involved as controls.Results SLs in the control group increased from the basal to the apical ventricular.SLs in the control group and CHD group apical segment were significantly higher than the basal and middle segments.Compared to the control group,SLs,GLS in part of myocardial ischemic segments were lower in CHD group before CABG (P ＜0.05).SLs and GSL in the corresponding segments showed significantly improving 3 months after CABG in CHD group (P ＜ 0.05).There was good relationship between GSL-Avg and left ventricular ejection fraction.Conclusions STI technology can be used to objectively and quantitatively evaluate the change of regional and global left ventricular systolic function.Therefore,it provide a non-invasive means for evaluation of curative effect and prognosis judgement of CHD after CABG.
