Objective To evaluate the left ventricular(LV)torsion in patients with permanent pacemaker implantation by speckle tracking imaging(STI).Methods Twenty-two patients with permanent pacemaker implantation were enrolled.Eleven of them had the pacing electrodes placed in the right ventricular(RV)apex(RVA group)and the others had the pacing electrodes placed in the RV outflow tract (RVOT group).Thirteen healthy subjects were studied as controls.The basal and apical shortaxis views of the left ventricle were acquired and analyzed using EchoPAC 7.0 station.Results ①The curves of LV torsion in the pacing groups were generally lower than those in the control group and notched.The torsion parameters of RVA group and RVOT group were all less than those of control group(Ptw:12.57±4.19°vs 12.43±5.46°vs 18.98±5.73°,all P<0.05),but there were no significant differences between RVA group and RVOT group.The time of torsion was not changed in the pacing groups because there were no significant differences among the three groups.②The values of Ptw-a(peak twist of the apex)were gradually declined among control group,RVA group and RVOT group.There was statistical difference in Ptw-a between RVOT group and control group(7.40±4.27°vs 12.70±6.82°,P=0.0364).③The basal Tp-SD(standard deviation of times to peak twist)of RVOT group was significantly longer than that of control group[14.1(7.97~22.70)%vs 4.87(3.03~7.79)%,P=0.0298].And total Tp-SD of RVA group was significantly longer than that of control group[(7.6±6.5)%vs 2.26(1.62~3.51)%,P=0.0423].④The curves of torsion velocity in the pacing groups were obviously disorganized compared with control group.But there were no statistical differences in Ptv(peak twist velocity),Putv(peak untwisting velocity),Tptv(time to peak twist velocity)and Tutv(time to peak untwisting velocity)among the three groups.Conclusions The RV pacing tends to impair torsional synehrony of LV and depress LV torsion,though it doesn't change the timing of LV torsion.It may impair LV systolic and diastolic function.

Objective To investigate the value of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography 17 regional volume curves index in patients with heart transplantation. Methods Sixty patients with heart transplantation (no rejection), ten patients with heart transplantation (rejection), forty subjects with normal left ventricular(LV) function were examined by Philips iE33 with a X3-1 probe. Results Parameter index of 17 segment time to minimal systolic volume in patients with heat transplantation (rejection) were more than those in patients with heart transplantation (no rejection) and in subjects with normal LV function(all P <0.05). Parameter index of 17 segment time to minimal systolic volume were not significantly different in patients with heart transplantation (no rejection) compared with subjects with normal LV function. Parameter index of Tmsv16-SD (%), Tmsv12-SD (%) and Tmsv6-SD (%) show higher sensitivity and specificity for forecast rejection after heart transplantation. Conclusions Real-time three-dimensional 17 regional volume curves index can fast forecast early rejection after heart transplantation.

Objective To evaluate left ventricular torsion in patients after coronary artery bypass graft(CABG) surgery by velocity vector imaging(VVI). Methods Twelve patients who were scheduled to have CABG surgery were enrolled. VVI offline software was used to evaluate myocardial rotation in both basal and apical segment before and three months after CABG. The rotation and rotation rate of each a counterclockwise rotation at the apex and a clockwise rotation at the base, and the absolute value of CABG the rotation at the base was significantly improved than that before CABG (P <0.001), and the rotation in the segment of anterior septum, anterior wail and inferior septum at the base was higher than that rotation in the apical and basal segment three months after CABG was also significantly higher than that negative peak rotation rate in the early diastolic period at the apex were significantly higher than those at the improved than that before CABG (P <0.001). And the positive peak rotation of the systolic period in the segment of anterior septum,anterior wall,lateral wall and inferior septum and the negative peak rotation of the diastolic period in the segment of anterior and inferior septum at the base were also higher than those before CABG (P <0.001). Conclusions VVI is a useful method which can quantitatively assess left ventrieular torsion in patients before and after CABG surgery.

ObjectiveTo evaluate left ventricular (LV) function and dyssynchrony in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB) by three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging(3D STI).Methods3D STI was performed and analyzed using TomTec 4-D LV analysis 3.0 software in 37 DCM patients with CLBBB and 25 healthy volunteers.The global 3D,longitudinal,circumferential,radial strains were measured.LV dyssynchrony was evaluated by the standard deviation of time to peak from 3D strain of 16 segments related to the heart cycle(3D-SDI).ResultsIn control group,uniformity in the average value of 3D strain was observed between apical,mid-ventricular and basal levels (P > 0.05).Global 3D,longitudinal,radial and circumferential strains had excellent correlations with LV ejection fraction ( r =- 0.92,- 0.84,- 0.78 and 0.81,respectively,P <0.01).Compared with control group,global 3D,longitudinal,radial and circumferential strains were significantly lower in DCM patients ( P <0.01 for all).3D-SDI in DCM patients with CLBBB was significantly longer than that of volunteers ( P <0.01).3D-SDI increased with worsening LV systolic function regardless of QRS duration (P <0.05).ConclusionsWhen image quality is optimal,3D STI represents a promising novel technique for assessment of global LV function and dyssynchrony.

Objective To investigate longitudinal systolic function of transplanted heart using two dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging.Methods 56 consecutive patients with heart transplant were recruited,according to myocardial biopsy and 1 year's follow up,they were divided into non-rejection group (group A) and rejection group (group B).36 healthy controls (group C) were also randomly recruited.Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),pulmonary arterial systolic pressure,tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE),tricuspid annular plane systolic velocity (TAS') and global longitudinal strain (GLS) were calculated via Qlab 9.0 analysis software offline.Results Compared with group C,LVEF was reduced in group B (P <0.01).Differences of GLS,TAPSE,and TA-S' among groups were all statistically significant (P <0.01),group B<group A< group C.LVEF,TAPSE and TA-S' were correlated with GLS (r =-0.64,r =-0.69,r =-0.71 ; all P < 0.01).Conclusions Left and right ventricles were a functional unity,the systolic function of which was impaired in patients with heart transplant.

Objective To investigate the shape and function of right ventricles in patients received heart transplantation(HT). Methods Sixty healthy volunteers(control group) and 31 HT patients(HT group) were enrolled, and the HT group was further divided into the nonrejected(HTn) group and the rejected(HTp) group based on the endomyocardial biopsy(EMB) results. All the participants received routine echocardiography. Single beat real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (sRT-3DE) was performed in all to evaluate parameters concerning modality and systolic function of participants' right ventricles. Results 1) Right ventricular stroke volume (RVSV) and right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) were significantly different among the groups[RVSV: control group vs HTn group vs HTp group was (56.18 ± 23.72)ml vs (36.08 ± 10.94)ml vs (26.22 ± 9.84)ml, P <0.0001; RVEF:control group vs HTn group vs HTp group was (62.09± 7.18)% vs (51.04 ± 7.58) vs (35.86 ± 9.86)%, P <0.00001=.2= When taking the influence of rejection into consideration,RVEF was proved to be a stable and sensitive indicator. Conclusions sRT-3DE can quickly assess shape and systolic function of right ventricle.RVEF was the most stableand sensitive among all the RV-related indicators and is a promising indicator in the clinic follow-up of HT patients.
