Normalised radionuclide measures of left ventricular diastolic function

Abnormal left ventricular diastolic function is being increasingly recognised in patients with clinical heart failure and normal systolic function. A simple routine radionuclide measure of diastolic function would therefore be useful. To establish this, the relationship of peak diastolic filling rate (normalized for either end diastolic volume, stroke volume, or peak systolic emptying rate), and heart rate, age, and left ventricular ejection fraction was studied in 64 subjects with normal cardiovascular systems using routine gated heart pool studies. The peak filling rate, when normalized to end diastolic volume, correlated significantly with heart rate, age and left ventricular ejection fraction, whereas normalization to stroke volume correlated significantly to heart rate and age but not to left ventricular ejection fraction. Peak filling rate normalized for peak systolic emptying rate correlated with age only. Multiple regression equations were determined for each of the normalized peak filling rates in order to establish normal ranges for each parameter. When using peak filling rate normalized for end diastolic volume or stroke volume, appropriate allowance must be made for heart rate, age and ejection fraction. Peak filling rate normalized to peak ejection rate is a heart rate independent parameter which allows the performance of the patient's ventricle in diastole to be compared with its systolic function. It may be used in patients with normal systolic function to serially follow diastolic function or if age corrected, to screen for diastolic dysfunction.

Left ventricular systolic and diastolic function during coronary arteriography before and after acute left ventricular failure in dogs. A comparison between iodixanol, iohexol and ioxaglate

The hemodynamic side effects of intracoronary injection of low osmolality contrast media were studied in anesthetised dogs, both with and without left ventricular (LV) failure. LV failure was induced by microembolization of the area supplied by the left main coronary artery. LV pressure and volume, aortic pressure, and cardiac output were recorded. 6 ml iodixanol 320 mg I/ml containing 20 mmol Na+/l, a new non-ionic dimer, was compared to iohexol and ioxaglate. Iodixanol induced small systolic alterations both before and after LV failure. Iohexol increased LV inotropy while ioxaglate depressed myocardial function. Before failure iodixanol and ioxaglate impaired isovolumic relaxation, but early diastolic filling was not reduced. After failure the relaxation process was not affected, but ioxaglate reduced early diastolic filling. Ioxaglate also increased LV end-diastolic pressure and volume more than the non-ionic contrast media. In conclusion, iodixanol induced only small changes in systolic and diastolic function. Iodixanol should therefore be hemodynamically well tolerated during coronary arteriography, and also in acute ischemic heart failure.     

Radionuclide monitoring of left ventricular function after sublingual nifedipine administration at rest and during moderate physical activity

BACKGROUND: This study investigates the acute effects of nifedipine administration on left ventricular (LV) function in patients with different degrees of heart failure at a fixed heart rate under resting conditions and during moderate physical activity. METHODS AND RESULTS: Eleven patients with non-rate-responsive DDD pacemakers were studied. According to baseline LV ejection fraction, patients were divided into 2 groups: 6 patients with an ejection fraction of less than 50% (group 1) and 5 patients with an ejection fraction of 50% or more (group 2). LV function was monitored by a radionuclide system (Vest) at rest and during moderate physical activity (10-minute walk test) before and after sublingual nifedipine administration (10 mg). In all patients, both the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were significantly reduced (P <.05) 6 minutes after nifedipine administration. In group 1, end-diastolic volume and ejection fraction decreased after 3 minutes and remained significantly lower (P <.05) than resting values until 10 minutes after drug administration, whereas end-systolic volume was unchanged. In group 2, nifedipine induced a minor decrease in end-diastolic volume and a slight but not significant decrease in ejection fraction and end-systolic volume. During the walk test, nifedipine induced similar changes in all parameters of cardiac performance in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with impaired LV function, acute nifedipine administration has a negative effect on cardiac performance, which occurs before blood pressure reduction. On the other hand, during moderate physical activity, nifedipine does not affect the improvement in LV function.     

Changes in cardiovascular function during inversion.

Although inversion therapy is used increasingly as a therapy for musculoskeletal back disorders, its effects on cardiovascular function have not been systematically determined. Heart rate, blood pressure and echocardiographic measurements were performed in 20 normal male volunteers before, during and after bent-knee inversion. Compared to control measurements in the supine position, inversion significantly increased heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, rate-pressure product, systemic vascular resistance and left ventricular (LV) wall stress. Inversion also resulted in a significant decrease in LV diastolic volume, cardiac output and ejection fraction. Thus inversion produces an increase in LV afterload and myocardial oxygen demand concomitantly with a decrease in LV preload and global systolic function, and may be contraindicated in patients with cardiovascular disease.     

三平面组织同步成像定量评价冠心病患者左心室节段非同步运动

目的 探讨三平面组织同步成像技术定量评价冠心病患者左心室节段收缩非同步性运动及其与左心室收缩功能的关系.资料与方法 34例冠心病患者和35例正常对照者,应用三平面组织同步成像技术获得心尖四腔切面组织速度图,获取左心室6个壁共12个节段的收缩期达峰时间(Tp)、达峰速度(Vp),并计算Tp、Vp的标准差(Tp-SD、Vp-SD)及12个节段中任意2个节段Tp、Vp的最大差值( Tp-maxD、Vp-maxD).同时采用Simpson双平面法测量左室射血分数(LVEF)、左室舒张末期容积(LVESV)、左室收缩末期容积(LVEDV).结果 冠心病组LVEDV、LVESV较正常对照组增加,LVEF较正常对照组减小,差异均有统计学意义(P＜ 0.001).与正常对照组相比,冠心病组Tp、Tp-SD、Tp-maxD均明显延迟,Vp、Vp-SD、Vp-maxD均明显降低(P＜0.001);Tp与LVEF呈负相关(r=-0.559,P＜0.001);Vp与LVEF呈正相关(r=0.801,P＜ 0.001).结论 三平面组织同步成像可用于定量评价冠心病患者左心室非同步运动,Tp、Tp-SD、Tp-maxD、Vp、Vp-SD、Vp-maxD 可作为定量评价左室收缩运动同步性的有效指标,且左室运动同步性异常加重左室收缩功能异常.     

Diastolic dysfunction types in the prediction of viable myocardium functional recovery

BACKGROUND/AIM: It is well known that patients with coronary artery disease and viable tissue as a guarantee of contractile recovery (CR), despite of decreasing ejection fraction (EF) and systolic dysfunction, could have benefit from surgical revascularization. Therefore, relationship between diastolic filling type and early postoperative recovery and complications need to be established. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between different left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling types and CR in patients after surgical revascularization with differently preserved systolic function. METHODS: We investigated 60 patients. All of them had CR estimated by stress echocardiography regardless the extent of recovery of the heart systolic function. Echocardiographic evidence of diastolic dysfunction was estimated by Doppler examination of transmitral diastolic flow. According to the derived different diastolic filling types the patients were divided into three groups: I--patients with disorder of LV relaxation, II--with pseudovascularisation, and III--with restrictive filling type, and according to the value of systolic function into two subgroups: (1) relatively recovered systolic function--EF > 40% and (2) pronounced LV dysfunction--EF < 40%. Echocardiographic evaluation was performed before and two week after surgical revascularization. In the preoperative period the medication therapy was optimized. We estimated CR by echocardiografic pare meters but also by detection of cardiovascular events. RESULTS: After CABG the mean value of WMISI LV tended to decrease in any groups: in the group I (n = 12) from 1.64 +/- 0.22 to 1.34 +/- 0.22; in the group II (n = 22) from 1.85 +/- 0.16 to 1.53 +/- 0.42, and in the group III (n=26) from 1.92 +/- 0.29 to 1.81 +/- 0.52. The lowest improvement of systolic function according to EF value expressed by the number of patients was found in the group of patients with restrictive LV filling type (12; 53.8%) as contrasting to the group with pseudonormalisation (15; 78.9%). In the group of patients with restrictive diastolic filling type also was recorded the highest number of lethal outcomes (6; 23.1%), as well as cardiovascular complications (10; 38.5%). CONCLUSIONS: Restrictive LV diastolic filling type was the marker of poor prognosis in the patients with clinical heart failure undergoing surgical revascularization. The patients with heart failure and preserved systolic function were associated with similar prognosis.
