摘要:
目的 探讨急性肺血栓栓塞症(PTE)患者多模态影像学研究结果与临床相关性。 方法 回顾性研究2018年1月~2022年1月首都医科大学附属北京中医医院55例急性PTE确诊患者的超声心动图、二维斑点追踪成像、双下肢血管超声、CT肺动脉造影(CTPA)结果及实验室指标[D-二聚体、脑钠肽(NT-proBNP)、C反应蛋白]。根据CTPA结果,将55例PTE患者分为5级,分析各级D-二聚体、NT-proBNP、C反应蛋白、三尖瓣返流速度(VTR)、肺动脉收缩压(PAPS)及右室游离壁长轴应变(RLS)相关性及变化趋势。 结果 NT-proBNP、VTR及PAPS随CTPA分级增高呈逐渐增高趋势,RLS绝对值随CTPA分级增高呈逐渐降低趋势,各CTPA分级组间差异有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。NT-proBNP、VTR、PAPS及RLS与CTPA分级的偏相关分析结果显示均有相关性(r=0.25、0.24、0.32、0.28,P < 0.05)。 结论 急性PTE患者增高的NT-proBNP、VTR、PAPS及RLS与肺栓塞的严重程度密切相关,对急性PTE患者临床诊治及预后评价具有重要的临床指导价值。 Abstract:Objective To explore the correlation between clinical diagnosis and prognosis in patients with acute pulmonary thrombus embolism (PTE) using multi-mode imaging. Methods Fifty-five patients with PTE confirmed in Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to January 2022 were evaluated retrospectively. Echocardiography, twodimensional speckle tracking imaging, ultrasound, computer tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) and lab marker, including D-dimer, NT-pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and C-reactive protein results were reviewed. 55 patients with PTE were ranked 5 classes according to CTPA results. Associations and correlations between CTPA classes of D-dimer, NT-proBNP, C-reactive protein, velocity of tricuspid regurgitation (VTR), pulmonary systolic pressure (PAPS) and longitudinal strain in right ventricular free wall (RLS) were analysed. Results NT-proBNP, VTR and PAPS showed a gradually increased trend with increased CTPA class and the absolute value of RLS showed a gradually decreased trend with increased CTPA class. The statistical difference among CTPA grading groups was significant (P < 0.05). Positive correlations were found between increased NT-proBNP, VTR, PAPS, decreased absolute value of RLS with higher CTPA class (r=0.25, 0.24, 0.32, 0.28, P < 0.05). Conclusion Increased NT-proBNP, VTR, PAPS and RLS are significantly associated with the severity of acute PTE patients, which has important clinical value for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation of acute PTE patients. -
