Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of longitudinal peak strain ( GLS ) and peak strain dispersion ( PSD) in left ventricular myocardial synchrony and systolic function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome ( OSAS ) . Methods Seventy male patients with OSAS diagnosed by polysomnography and 26 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study . According to AHI ,the OSAS patients were divided into three groups :mild group ,moderate group and severe group . Echocardiography was performed on the next day . The Left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF) ,diastolic blood pressure , systolic blood pressure ,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter ( LVDd) ,left ventricular end-systolic diameter ( LVDs) ,left atrial diameter ( LAD) ,interventricular septum thickness ( IVST ) ,left ventricular posterior wall thickness ( LVPW) ,global systolic longitudinal strain( GLS) and peak strain dispersion ( PSD) were compared among four groups . The correlation between GLS ,PSD and AHI were analyzed . Results ① Age , height ,weight ,body mass index ( BMI) ,LVEF ,diastolic blood pressure ,systolic blood pressure ,LVDd , LVDs ,LAD and LVPW were not statistically different among the OSAS mild ,moderate ,severe group and control group ( P > 0 .05) . IVST in severe groups was increased than that in control group ( P < 0 .05) . ②Compared with the control group and the mild group ,the PSD increased and the GLS decreased significantly in the moderate and severe groups ( P < 0 .05) ,and there was a statistically significant decrease in the GLS between the severe group and the moderate group ( P < 0 .05) . There was no statistical difference in other parameters among 4 groups ( P > 0 .05) . ③ Pearson correlation analysis showed that AHI was associated with GLS( r 2 = 0 .5026) and PSD( r 2 = 0 .6845) ( P < 0 .05) . Conclusions GLS and PSD can early evaluate the left ventricular myocardial synchrony and systolic function changes in patients with OSAS .
