Abstract:
Purpose To discuss the clinical value of applying tissue motion tracking of mitral annular displacement (TMAD) technique to evaluate left ventricular global systolic function in patients with coronary heart disease. Materials and Methods Sixty patients with coronary heart disease who had at least one coronary stenosis ≥70% confirmed by coronary angiography were selected, and 35 healthy volunteer were enrolled as the control group. Three to five sequential two-dimensional dynamic images of cardiac cycle of four-chamber, three-chamber, and two-chamber apex cordis were collected and stored, and Qlab 7.0 software was used for off-line analysis. Maximal systolic displacement (Ds) of mitral annulus in six sites, systolic displacement of the middle point (D-mid) and left ventricular longitudinal fractional shortening (FSL) were measured and calculated for mean value respectively, which were then used for correlation analysis with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measured by simplified dual plane Simpson. Results ①Compared with control group, the mean value of Ds, D-mid and FSL of group A and B were significantly decreased, the difference of which was statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with group A, the mitral annulus displacement parameters of group B decreased, the difference of which was statistically significant (P<0.05). ②Compared the time used for the two measuring methods: TMAD technology significantly reduced the measuring time compared to the two-dimensional dual plane Simpson's method (P<0.001). ③The mean values of Ds, D-mid and FSL in the control and coronary heart disease groups were all correlated with LVEF (r=0.77, 0.75, 0.78, P<0.001; r=0.78, 0.79, 0.78, P<0.001). ④Repeatability test: the intra-observer ICC values of the mean values of Ds, D-mid and FSL were 0.87, 0.85 and 0.93 respectively, and the inter-observer ICC values were 0.84, 0.84 and 0.88 respectively. Conclusion TMAD technology is time-saving, accurate and reproducible, which can be used to evaluate left ventricular systolic function in patients with coronary heart disease.
