Assessment of left ventricular torsion by three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging after aortic valve replacement
Objective To assess left ventricular(LV) torsional mechanics in patients with chronic severe aortic regurgitation(AR) by three-dimensional speckls tracking imaging(3D-STI)
and to assess the effect of aortic valve replacement(AVR) on LV twist function.Methods A total of 76 patients with chronic severe aortic regurgitation were divided into 40 patients in AR-A group(LVEF≥55%) and 36 patients in AR-B group(LVEF<55%)
and 30 healthy controls were selected(healthy control group).LV basal rotation(Basal-Rot)
apical rotation(Api-Rot) and time to peak rotation(Basal-Rot TR
ApiRot TP)
LV Torsion(Torsion) and time to peak twist(Twist TP) by 3D-STI were analyzed and compared among subgroups.31 patients who underwent AVR were re-examined 2 weeks after operation
and the above parameters were measured.Results①Both Api-Rot and Torsion in AR-A group were reduced compared with those of healthy control group(both P<0.05)
there was no statistical difference of Basal-Rot between AR-A group and healthy control group.In AR-B group
Api-Rot
Basal-Rot and Torsion were all lower than those in healthy control group(all P<0.05).Basal-Rot and Torsion were lower than those in AR-A group(both P<0.05)
and there was no statistically significant difference of AR between AR-B group and AR-A group.② Compared with healthy control group
Basal-Rot TP and Twist TP were longer in AR-A group(both P<0.05)
Twist TP
Api-Rot TP and Basal-Rot TP were shortened in AR-B group(all P<0.05).③2 weeks after AVR
Torsion and Api-Rot in 31 patients were significantly increased(both P<0.05).④ Pearson correlation analysis revealed that Torsion
Api-Rot
Basal-Rot were associated with LVEF(r=0.591
0.327
0.369
all P<0.05).Torsion and Api-Rot were correlated with LV-SpI(r=-0.506
-0.320
both P<0.05).Conclusion 3D-STI could quantitatively assess the LV torsional dynamics in chronic severe AR patients and contribute to a deeper understanding of LV subtle mechanic changes.Parameters of torsional dynamics can sensitively reflect the improvement of LV myocardial function after operation.
