Abstract:
Objective: To explore the feasibility of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) for evaluation on biventricular volume and function for children with total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (TAPVD). Methods: Totally 16 children with simple TAPVD combined with atrial septal defect or patent foramen ovale (TAPVD group) and 19 normal infants( as control group) were recruited. The following indexes, including left ventricular anteroposterior dimension (LVD), right ventricular transverse dimension (RVD), left ventricular ejection fraction by M-mode (LVEF-M), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and peak velocity of tricuspid annulus (TAV) were measured with two-dimensional echocardiography. Then left/right ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF-3DE, RVEF-3DE) obtained by RT-3DE and left/right ventricular end diastolic volume corrected by body surface area (BSA) (LVEDV/BSA, RVEDV/BSA) were measured. The above parameters were compared between 2 groups. Results: RVD, LVEF-M and RVEDV/BSA in TAPVD group were significantly higher than those in control group, whereas LVD, TAPSE, TAV, RVEF-3DE and LVEDV/BSA were lower than in control group (all P<0.05). No significant difference of LVEF-3DE was found between 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: RT-3DE can be used to evaluate biventricular volume and function in children with TAPVD.
