Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the diastole asynchrony of the different segments of left ventricle(LV) and its relation with LV diastole function in the patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by quantitative tissue velocity imaging(QTVI).Methods Forteen normal controls,15 patients with non-obstructive HCM (HCM) and 12 patients with obstructive HCM (HOCM) were studied by QTVI.The regional velocity profiles of 18 segments of LV and mitral annulus of six walls along LV apical long axis view,apical two chamber view and four chamber view were obtained.The time (T_ Q-E ) from onset of QRS complexes to peak velocity during early diastole were measured.The maximal difference in T_ Q-E with in the same wall (Intra-?T_ Q-E ),the same segment (Inter-?T_ Q-E ),all 18 segments (Max-?T_ Q-E ) of LV and the mean ratio of mitral annulus early and late diastole peak velocity of six walls were calculated(Ea/Aa′).Interventricular septum basic thickness(IVSTh) and LV outflow tract gradient(LVOTPG) were measured.Results Inter-?T_ Q-E ,Intra-?T_ Q-E ,Max-?T_ Q-E were significantly prolonged and Ea/Aa′ was reduced in HCM and HOCM groups compared with control group.There was no statistically significant difference of Inter-?T_ Q-E ,Intra-?T_ Q-E ,Max-?T_ Q-E ,Ea/Aa′ between HCM and HOCM groups.In control group,HCM group,HOCM group,IVSTh and LVOTPG were increased little by little.Max-?T_ Q-E were correlated negatively with Ea/Aa′ in patients with HCM and HOCM.IVSTh and LVOTPG were mildly correlated with Ea/Aa′ in HOCM group,but not correlated with Ea/Aa′ in HCM.Conclusions Asynchrony diastole is a neccessary factor causing impairment of LV diastole function exists within the same wall and the same segment of LV in patients with HCM,but IVSTh and LVOTPG is not a neccessary factor causing impairment of LV diastole function.Asynchrony diastole in patients with HCM could be an appereance of cardiomyopathy.
