Objective To explore the correlation between the characteristics of left atrial(LA)strain and exercise endurance in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF).Methods A total of 212 CHF patients admitted to our hospital from November 2021 to January 2023 were prospec-tively subjected in this study.According to their maximal oxygen uptake(VO2max),they were di-vided into high endurance group[≥16 ml/(kg·min),125 cases]and low endurance group[＜16 ml/(kg·min),125 cases].The general data and results of laboratory test were analyzed and com-pared between the two groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors affecting the exercise endurance.Results Significant differences were observed between the two groups in level of NT-proBNP,ratio of early diastolic peak velocity of mitral valve(E)to early di-astolic peak velocity of mitral annulus(e'),E,LVEDVI,LVESVI,LVSVI,LVEF,LVGLS,LA maximum volume index(LAVImax),LA minimum volume index(LAVImin),LA reservoir strain(LASr),LA conduit strain duct strain(LAScd),and LA contractile strain(LASct)(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LASr(OR=0.987,95％CI:1.003-1.029),LAScd(OR=1.177,95％CI:0.688-0.955),LASct(OR=1.341,95％CI:0.507-0.884).NT-proBNP(OR=1.002,95％CI:0.995-1.000),E/e'(OR=1.086,95％CI:1.000-1.183),LVEDVI(OR=1.127,95％CI:0.805-0.936)and LVEF(OR=0.909,95％CI:0.824-1.000)were related factors influencing exercise endurance in CHF patients(P＜0.05).Restricted cube chart revealed that there was a significant nonlinear relationship between LASr,LAScd and LASct and exercise endurance in the patients(x2=9.830,16.820,9.080,P＜0.05).Conclusion The char-acteristic indicators of LA strain are related to exercise endurance of CHF patients.

Objective To investigate the serum expression level of miR-182-5p in patients with chronic heart failure(CHF),and analyze its correlation with left ventricular remodeling and prog-nosis.Methods A total of 138 CHF patients admitted to Liaocheng People's Hospital from Janu-ary 2019 to December 2021 were enrolled as CHF group,and another 120 healthy volunteers who took physical examinations at the same time served as the healthy group.The expression level of miR-182-5p in serum was detected in the two groups.Pearson analysis was used to analyze the correlation between its expression level and left ventricular remodeling.ROC curve was plotted to analyze the diagnostic value of miR-182-5p expression level.During 1 year of follow-up,their sur-vival status was collected and analyzed in the CHF patients.The prognostic value of miR-182-5p expression level was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival curve.Results The CHF patients had significantly lower LVEF value,but higher left ventricular remodeling index(LVRI)and miR-182-5p expression level than the healthy group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The expression level of miR-182-5p was negatively correlated with LVEF(r=-0.496,P=0.000)and positively with LVRI(r=0.460,P=0.000).The AUC value of miR-182-5p expression level in diagnosing CHF was 0.964,the cutoff value was 0.905,the sensitivity was 91.3％,and the specificity was 86.7％.Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the high expression level of miR-182-5p could predict the overall survival of CHF patients(P=0.039).Conclusion The expression level of miR-182-5p is higher in CHF patients than healthy people,and the patients with higher level indi-cate more serious left ventricular remodeling.Detecting the expression level of miR-182-5p is help-ful for the diagnosis and poorgnosis prediction of CHF patients.
