Echocardiographic left ventricular mass (LVM) estimates are strong predictors of subsequent mortality and cardiovascular events. It is known that blood pressure (BP), weight (WT), and age are significantly correlated with LVM. We hypothesized that stroke volume (SV) measured by Doppler echocardiography would also be correlated with LVM. Two hundred and thirteen patients referred for routine echocardiography had determination of LVM, cuff BP, and Doppler SV. Those with localized LV disease, valvular disease, or cor pulmonale were excluded. In both men and women, systolic BP (SBP) was more closely correlated with LVM than was diastolic blood pressure or mean arterial pressure, and SV was more closely correlated with LVM than cardiac output or cardiac index. Stepwise regression, followed by multiple regression showed that four variables (WT, SV, SBP, and AGE) explained 32.3% of the variability in LVM in men and 48.5% of the variability in LVM in women. WT and SV were significant determinants of LVM in both men and women. Age was also significant in men and SBP was also significant in women. For both men and women, SV was more significantly correlated with LVM than was SBP. The changes in LVM associated with 1 SD increments of SV and SBP, respectively, were 8 and 5 g for men and 13 and 11 g for women. We conclude that men and women have different patterns of variables influencing LVM. Doppler echocardiographic SV is a newly described determinant of LVM that has a greater correlation with LVM than does SBP. This study reemphasizes the importance of WT as the major determinant of LVM.  相似文献

Background and objectives: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent risk factor for premature cardiovascular death in hemodialysis (HD) patients and one of the three forms of uremic cardiomyopathy. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a volume-independent technique to assess cardiac structure. We used CMR to assess the determinants of left ventricular mass (LVM) and LVH in HD patients.Design, setting, participants, & measurements: A total of 246 HD patients (63.8% male; mean age 51.5 ± 12.1 yr) underwent CMR on a postdialysis day. LVM was measured from a stack of cine loops and indexed for body surface area (LVM index [LVMI]). Demographic, past biochemical, hematologic, and dialysis data were collected by patient record review. Results up to 180 d before CMR were collected. LVH was defined as LVMI >84.1 g/m2 (male) or >76.4 g/m2 (female).Results: A total of 157 (63.8%) patients had LVH. LVH was more common in patients with higher predialysis systolic BP, predialysis pulse pressure, and calcium-phosphate product (Ca × PO4). Furthermore, LVH was significantly associated with higher end-diastolic and systolic volumes and lower ejection fraction. There were positive correlations with LVMI and end-diastolic and systolic volumes. There were weak positive correlations among LVMI, mean volume of ultrafiltration, and Ca × PO4. Using multivariate linear and logistic regression (entering one BP and cardiac variable), the independent predictors of LVMI and LVH were end-diastolic volume, predialysis systolic BP, and Ca × PO4.Conclusions: The principal determinants of LVM and LVH in HD patients are end-diastolic LV volume, predialysis BP, and Ca × PO4.Patients with ESRD, particularly those who require hemodialysis (HD), have an increased risk for premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) (1). Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a common feature of patients with ESRD, a component of uremic cardiomyopathy and an independent risk factor for sudden cardiac death, heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias in the general population and HD patients (24).Studies that have assessed independent predictors of left ventricular mass index (LVMI; corrected for body surface area [BSA]) and LVH in patients with ESRD have used echocardiography and implicated factors such as hypertension, reduced blood vessel compliance, anemia, phosphate control, and dosage of dialysis (57); however, accurate echocardiographic estimation of LVMI in patients with ESRD is difficult because of large variation in intravascular (and hence intraventricular) volume during the interdialytic period and during dialysis. Geometric assumptions made during calculation of LVMI from conventional M-mode echocardiography dimensions result in greater inaccuracies as a result of geometric LV distortion in patients with LVH and ESRD.Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging provides more detailed, volume-independent measurement of cardiac structure and has been thoroughly validated using human autopsy and animal specimens (8,9). This technique has been established as the most accurate noninvasive method of assessing ventricular dimensions in patients, including those with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (10,11). In particular, measurements obtained by echocardiography tend to overestimate LVMI, particularly at higher values, when compared with CMR (12). Furthermore, pilot studies in patients with ESRD, using CMR to identify myocardial changes of uremic cardiomyopathy, have so far shown a significant reduction in long-term survival similar to previous echocardiography findings (13 and unpublished data). Thus, the aim of this study was to assess by CMR the determinants of LVMI and LVH in a cohort of HD patients.  相似文献

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) has been shown to be an independent risk factor for adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events. Despite this well-known association, the lack of a standardized approach for the quantification and the monitoring of LVH regression has limited its use as a primary risk factor that can be easily clinically targeted. Echocardiography has become the most widespread tool used for the quantification of LVH. With advances in this technology, echocardiographic quantification of LVH has improved and reference standards are being used to determine the clinical implications of LVH regression. In this article, we aim to provide a current appraisal of LVH with a focus on presenting the current clinical methods used to accurately detect LVH, the prognostic implications of these findings, and help develop a therapeutic target for clinicians.  相似文献

In non-cardioembolic stroke patients, the cardiac manifestations of high blood pressure are of particular interest. Emerging data suggest that echocardiographically determined left ventricular hypertrophy is independently associated with risk of ischemic stroke.The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of different patterns of left ventricular (LV) remodeling and hypertrophy in a group of consecutive patients admitted with non-cardioembolic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). In particular, we were interested in how often the relative wall thickness (RWT) was abnormal in patients with normal LV mass index (LVMI). As both abnormal RWT and LVMI indicate altered LV remodeling, the secondary objective of this research was to study whether a significant number of patients would be missing the diagnosis of LV remodeling if the RWT is not measured.All patients were referred within 48 hours after a stroke or a TIA for a clinically indicated transthoracic echocardiogram. The echocardiographic findings of consecutive patients with non-cardioembolic stroke or TIA were analyzed.All necessary measurements were performed in 368 patients, who were enrolled in the study. Mean age was 63.7 ± 12.5 years, 64.4% men. Concentric remodeling carried the highest frequency, 49.2%, followed by concentric hypertrophy, 30.7%, normal pattern, 15.5%, and eccentric hypertrophy, 4.1%. The frequency of abnormal left ventricular RWT (80.4%) was significantly higher than that of abnormal LVMI (35.3%), (McNemar P < 0.05).In this group of non-cardioembolic stroke patients, abnormal LV remodeling as assessed by relative wall thickness is very frequent. As RWT was often found without increased LV mass, the abnormal left ventricular geometry may be missed if RWT is not measured or reported.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to identify traits of the left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS), global radial strain (GRS), global circular strain (GCS), and global area tracking (GAT) with three‐dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3DSTE), and to determine the relationship between strain and age in healthy adults of different ages. A total of 153 volunteers were divided into young adult, middle‐aged, and elderly groups, and examined with echocardiography to obtain general data and live two‐dimensional (2D) images of the apical four‐chamber view, which were assembled to obtain the full volume view of the LV. The images were then analyzed with 3DSTE software. Compared with the young adult and middle‐aged groups, elderly adults demonstrated lower GLS, GRS, GCS, and GAT. Significant differences were not noted in GLS, GRS, and GCS between the young adult and middle‐aged groups; however, the GAT of the middle‐aged group was lower than that of the young adult group. The longitudinal strain (LS), radial strain (RS), and area tracking (AT) of 16 LV segments of the young adult group decreased gradually in level from the mitral valve to the apex, and increased in circular strain (CS). The LS, RS, CS, and AT of the middle‐aged group also decreased gradually. The LS, RS, CS, and AT of the elderly people were highest from the mitral valve to the apex level and lowest at the papillary muscle. The results of this study demonstrated that LV GLS, GRS, GCS, and GAT decrease with age.  相似文献

Heart failure may be viewed as a progressive disorder that is impelled, at least in part, by progressive left ventricular (LV) remodeling. In the present discussion we will review the role of LV remodeling in the pathogenesis of heart failure, with a focus on the contribution that changes in LV size and shape play in the development and progression of the progression of heart failure. The clinical implication of this review is that existing neurohormonal strategies may not completely prevent disease progression in the failing heart, and that adjunctive strategies that are designed to specifically prevent and/or attenuate LV remodeling may play an important role in the clinical treatment of heart failure.  相似文献
