摘要:
目的 基于超声四维左房定量分析(4DLAQ)技术评价原发性高血压(EH)左心室肥厚(LVH)患者的左房功能。 方法 选择EH患者80例,根据LVH的新标准将患者分为LVH组无LVH(NLVH)组,同时选取36例健康体检者作为对照组,3组均采用二维超声心动图测量得到二维超声数据,采用4DLAQ技术测量及分析得到左房容积参数包括左房最小容积(LAVmin)、左房最大容积(LAVmax)、左房收缩前容积(LAVpreA)、左房整体射血分数(LAEF);左房应变参数包括左房储备期长轴应变、左房管道期长轴应变、左房收缩期长轴应变、左房储备期环形应变、左房管道期环形应变、左房收缩期环形应变,比较3组二维和四维技术所得数据的差异。 结果 3组收缩压及舒张压的差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。3组左心房内径、双平面左室射血分数、室间隔厚度、左心室舒张末期内径、左心室后壁厚度、E/e’的差异均有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。3组LAVmin、LAVpreA、LAEF、左心房被动射血分数、左心房主动射血分数的差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05),而LVAmax的差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05)。3组左房应变参数的差异均有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。观察者间和观察者内的一致性较好(组内相关系数 > 0.90)。 结论 EH患者左房内径增大早于左室收缩功能受损,随着疾病进展左房容积升高,储存功能、管道功能受损,泵血功能处于NLVH时增加,随着LVH程度加重,左房泵血功能减低。4DLAQ能发现EH患者左房功能细微的改变,其应变参数评价左房功能更敏感,其中环形应变在表达左房管道功能上比纵向应变更具优势。 Abstract:Objective To evaluate left atrial function in essential hypertensive (EH) patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) based on four-dimensional echocardiographic quantitative (4DLAQ). Methods Eighty EH patients were selected and divided into NLVH group and LVH group according to the new LVH standard. At the same time, 36 healthy subjects were selected as the control group. The participants in the three groups were measured by two-dimensional echocardiography, and the left atrial volume parameters were measured and analyzed by 4DLAQ technology, including left atrial minimum volume (LAVmin), left atrial maximum volume (LAVmax), left atrial pre systolic volume (LAVpreA) and left atrial global ejection fraction (LAEF). The left atrial strain parameters include left atrial reserve long axial strain, left atrial conduit long axial strain, left atrial systolic long axial strain, left atrial reserve circular strain, left atrial conduit circular strain and left atrial systolic circular strain. The differences between the two-dimensional and four-dimensional data of the three groups of participants were compared. Results There were significant differences in mean systolic blood pressure and mean diastolic blood pressure among the three groups (P < 0.05). There were significant differences in left atrial diameter, Biplane LVEF, interventricular septal thickness, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular posterior wall thickness and E/e' among the three groups (P < 0.05). There was significant difference in LAVmin, LAVpreA, LAEF, left atrial passive ejection fraction and left atrial active ejection fraction among the three groups (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in LAVmax (P > 0.05). There were significant differences in left atrial strain parameters among the three groups (P < 0.05). The consistency between and within observers was good (ICC > 0.90). Conclusion The increase of left atrial diameter in EH patients is earlier than the impairment of left ventricular systolic function. With the progress of the disease, the left atrial volume increases, the storage function and pipeline function are damaged, and the blood pumping function increases when the blood pumping function is in NLVH. With the aggravation of LVH, the blood pumping function of the left atrium decreases. 4DLAQ can find subtle changes in the left atrial function of EH patients and supplement the technical weakness of the current left atrial research. Its strain parameters are more sensitive to evaluate the left atrial function. Among them, the circular strain is more advantageous than the longitudinal strain in indicating the left atrial conduit function. -
