Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in evaluating left ventricular systolic synchronization after heart transplantation
Objective To evaluate left ventricular systolic synchronization in the patients with stable clinical stateafter heart transplantation in by two-dimensional speckle tracking technique(2D-STE).MethodsA total of 20 patients with stable clinical status after heart transplantation were selected(heart transplantation group).Echocardiography was performed at3 d
1 month
3 months
6 months and 1 year after heart transplantation
and 20 normal subjects were collected as control group.The longitudinal strain
radial strain and circumferential strain at peak time(Tls
Trs
Tcs)of each segment of left ventricle wereobtained by 2 D-STE.The standard deviations(Tls-SD
Trs-SD
Tcs-SD)and the maximum difference of peak time(Tls-dif
Trs-dif
Tcs-dif)of longitudinal strain、radial strain and circumferential strain at peak time of left ventricle were calculated.Thelongitudinal strain delay index(LSDI)was calculated
and the left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)was measured by modifiedSimpson biplane method.ResultsThe strain parameters of heart transplantation group were significantly higher than those ofcontrol group at 3 d after heart transplantation(all P<0.05).There was significant difference in Tls-SD between 1 month heartafter transplantation and control group(P<0.05). In the heart transplantation group
the LSDI
Tls-SD
Tls-dif decreasedgradually after operation
and there were significant differences between the 3 d and 3 months
6 months
1 year aftertransplantation(all P<0.05).There was significant difference in Tls-SD between 1 month and 1 year after sransplantation(P<0.05).In the transplantation group
there were significant negative correlations between LSDI
Tls-SD Tls-dif and LVEF(r=-0.523
-0.434
-0.401
all P<0.01)
and the correlation coefficient of LSDI was the highest.Conclusion The left ventricular systolic function of patients with stable clinical state after heart transplantation is not synchronous
the mostsignificant is the 3 d after transplantion.After 3 months of transplantation
the synchronization of left ventricular systolic functiontends to be normal.In the 2 D-STI synchronization parameters
LSDI、Tls-SD
Tls-dif can objectively evaluate the changes of leftventricular systolic synchronization after the heart transplanted
and the above parameters have significant correlation with LVEF.
