OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between cardiac function and activities of daily living (ADLs) in an age‐homogenous, community‐dwelling population born in 1920 and 1921. DESIGN: Cross‐sectional analysis of a prospective cohort study. SETTING: Community‐dwelling elderly population. PARTICIPANTS: Participants were recruited from the Jerusalem Longitudinal Cohort Study, which has followed an age‐homogenous cohort of Jerusalem residents born in 1920 and 1921. Four hundred eighty‐nine of the participants (228 male, 261 female) from the most recent set of data collection in 2005 and 2006 underwent echocardiography at their place of residence in addition to structured interviews and physical examination. MEASUREMENTS: A home‐based comprehensive assessment was performed to assess health and functional status, including performance of ADLs. Dependence was defined as needing assistance with one or more basic ADLs. Standard echocardiographic assessment of cardiac structure and function, including ejection fraction (EF) and diastolic function as assessed using early diastolic mitral annular tissue velocity measurements obtained using tissue Doppler, was performed. RESULTS: Of the participants with limitation in at least one ADL, significantly more had low EF (<55%) than the group that was independent (52.6 % vs 39.1%; P=.01). In addition, participants with dependence in ADL had higher left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (129.3 vs 119.7 g/m2) and left atrial volume index (LAVI) (41.3 vs 36.7 mL/m2). There were no differences between the groups in percentage of participants with impaired diastolic function or average ratio of early diastolic transmitral flow velocity to early diastolic mitral annular tissue velocity (11.5 vs 11.8; P=.64). CONCLUSION: In this age‐homogenous cohort of the oldest old, high LVMI and LAVI and indices of systolic but not diastolic function as assessed according to Doppler were associated with limitations in ADLs. 相似文献

Although several studies have demonstrated that cardiac diastolic function is impaired but cardiac systolic function is preserved with aging, no large-scale analysis of cardiac function by echocardiography in subjects aged > or = 90 years exists. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the cardiac structure and function in the oldest old in order to assess the effect of aging on cardiac function. Echocardiographic examination was performed in 1793 subjects who were in their fifties, sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties. Left ventricular (LV) wall thickness and dimension were measured by M-mode echocardiography. LV ejection fraction (LVEF) was calculated and used as the parameter representing LV systolic function. LV diastolic function was assessed using the peak velocity of early rapid filling (E velocity) and the peak velocity of atrial contraction (A velocity), and the ratio of E to A (E/A) by the transmitral flow. The Tei index, which reflects both LV diastolic and systolic function, was also calculated. The E/A decreased progressively with aging, and demonstrated the closest correlation with age among all the indexes of cardiac function (r = -0.44, P < 0.001). In contrast, LVEF and the Tei index demonstrated a very weak correlation with age (r = -0.13, P < 0.001 and r = 0.16, P < 0.001, respectively). The mean value for LVEF remained normal with aging in all age strata (50s: 71 +/- 8%, 60s: 71 +/- 8%, 70s: 70 +/- 9%, and 80s: 71 +/- 10%), but decreased significantly in subjects in their 90s (66 +/- 10%, P < 0.001). In addition, the mean value for the Tei index also remained normal with aging in subjects in their 50s (0.35 +/- 0.10), 60s (0.38 +/- 0.14), 70s (0.38 +/- 0.12), and 80s (0.39 +/- 0.15), but showed an abnormal value in subjects in their 90s (0.45 +/- 0.12, P < 0.001). In conclusion, both diastolic dysfunction and systolic dysfunction with advancing age were observed in the oldest old aged > or = 90 years. The age-related impairment of systolic function as well as diastolic function should be considered when echocardiography is used to evaluate the causes of heart failure in the oldest old. 相似文献

Individuals aged >85 years constitute the world's most rapidly growing age group. Despite the rapid growth of this population and its high incidence of cardiovascular morbidity, normative data concerning cardiac structure and function are limited. The objective of this study was to define cardiac structure and function in an age-homogenous, community-dwelling population of subjects born in 1920 and 1921. Subjects were recruited from the Jerusalem Longitudinal Cohort Study. Echocardiography was performed using a portable echocardiograph at the subject's place of residence. Standard echocardiographic assessment of cardiac structure and function was performed. Four hundred fifty subjects (219 men, 231 women) were enrolled in the study. The cohort exhibited large left atrial volumes (64.6 ± 26 ml) and high left ventricular (LV) mass indexes (122 ± 36 g/m(2)) with normal LV volumes. Ejection fractions were preserved (55.3 ± 10.2%), but tissue Doppler s-wave velocities (lateral 7.8 ± 2.1 cm/s, septal 6.7 ± 1.9 cm/s) were reduced. Reduced tissue Doppler e waves (lateral 7.3 ± 2.2 cm/s, septal 6.2 ± 2 cm/s) and elevated E/e' ratios (12.2 ± 4.9) indicated significantly impaired diastolic function. In conclusion, the findings of this study demonstrate a high prevalence of left atrial enlargement, elevated LV mass, evidence of LV systolic dysfunction with preserved ejection fractions, and significant LV diastolic dysfunction in a community-dwelling cohort of 85-year-olds. The finding of elevated E/e' ratios in a subset free of known cardiovascular disease should be considered when clinical assessment of LV diastolic dysfunction in this age group is performed. 相似文献

Individuals aged > 85 years are the world's most rapidly growing age group and have a high incidence of cardiovascular mortality. The objective of this study was to prospectively determine the prognosis of abnormal cardiac structure and function in an age-homogenous, community-dwelling population of subjects born in 1920 and 1921. Subjects were recruited from the Jerusalem Longitudinal Cohort Study. Echocardiography was performed with a portable echocardiograph at the subjects' places of residence. Standard echocardiographic assessment of cardiac structure and function was performed. Five-year mortality was assessed through a centralized government database. Five hundred two subjects (235 men, 267 women) were enrolled in the study, of whom 107 (21%) had died at the time of 5-year follow-up. Subjects who died had significantly higher left atrial volume indexes (42.3 ± 16.5 vs 36.6 ± 12.5 ml/m2, p < 0.01) and left ventricular mass indexes (133.1 ± 47.6 vs 119.8 ± 30.6 g/m2, p < 0.05). Ejection fractions were significantly lower in subjects who died (52.5 ± 11.5% vs 56.4 ± 9.4%, p < 0.003), but indexes of left ventricular diastolic function were not significantly different between the 2 groups (E/e' ratio 13.0 ± 5.3 vs 12.2 ± 4.9, p = 0.18). In conclusion, elevated left atrial volume index and left ventricular mass index and decreased LV systolic function predicted 5-year mortality in a community-dwelling population of subjects aged 85 years, even after correction for possible confounders. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction did not predict 5-year mortality in this cohort. 相似文献

Hematopoietic SCT (HSCT) is a life-saving therapy in children, but has been associated with heart failure. Little is known about subclinical changes in cardiac function. We examined changes in systolic and diastolic function from pre- to 1-year post HSCT by echocardiography. All patients (n=74, 61% men, median age 9.1 years, mean left-ventricular (LV) ejection fraction 61.3±4.9%) who underwent HSCT at Children's Hospital Boston between 2005 and 2008, were <21 years at time of HSCT, and had routine pre- and 1-year post echocardiograms were included. Systolic function parameters, including LV ejection fraction, rate-corrected velocity of fiber shortening (Vcfc) and stress-velocity index and diastolic parameters, including tissue Doppler imaging (TDI)-derived velocities, and left-ventricular flow propagation, were compared before and after transplant. At 1-year post HSCT, systolic function, as measured by Vcfc (1.10±0.15 vs 1.04±0.12?circ/s; P=0.03) and stress-velocity index (z-score 0.40±1.4 vs -0.20±1.1; P=0.02), had worsened; diastolic function parameters, including mitral E' velocity (16.6±3.9 vs 15.0±3.4?cm/s; P=0.01) and tricuspid E' velocity (14.3±3.6 vs 12.4±2.8?cm/s; P=0.002) had also decreased. At 1-year post HSCT, children have subclinical declines in systolic and diastolic function. These small changes might become clinically important over time. Serial non-invasive assessment of cardiac function should be considered in all children following HSCT. 相似文献

Nearly half of patients with heart failure (HF) have a normal ejection fraction (EF) and have been labeled as having diastolic HF. Diastolic HF is characterized by a normal EF, a variable amount of concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, and abnormal diastolic function. Differentiating diastolic HF from HF with a reduced EF (systolic HF) is important because these two forms of HF have different pathophysiology and thus might require different therapeutic approaches. Nevertheless, patients with diastolic HF and those with systolic HF have similar clinical symptoms and signs. Thus, clinical history and physical examination do not differentiate between diastolic and systolic HF. There is accumulating evidence that diastolic dysfunction is related to the severity of HF and prognosis regardless of EF. Thus, it is important to evaluate both systolic and diastolic function not only to differentiate between diastolic and systolic HF but also to identify high-risk patients. 相似文献

Abnormalities of left ventricular (LV) filling may occur prior to systolic dysfunction in patients with both coronary and noncoronary heart disease. To determine the incidence of diastolic dysfunction and to assess the relationship of such dysfunction to systolic performance, we measured systolic and diastolic function at rest in a series of healthy volunteers (n = 10) and in patients with cardiovascular disease (n = 42). Twenty patients had coronary artery disease (CAD) with prior myocardial infarction, six patients had CAD without myocardial infarction, and the remaining 16 patients had a variety of noncoronary heart diseases, including valvular heart disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, and hypertensive disease. The 42 patients manifested a wide variation in LV systolic function (ejection fractions ranged from 6% to 65%). Patients with reduced LV ejection fraction (EF) manifested a reduction in cardiac output and peak ejection rate proportionate to the reduction in EF. Diastolic function showed a fall in LV peak (PFR) and average (AFR) filling rates; these were reduced in proportion to the fall in EF. Heart rate was an insensitive index of the magnitude of impairment of LV systolic function. These data suggest that measurements of diastolic function do not provide additional information in patients with impaired systolic function. 相似文献

Prognostic value of plasma brain natriuretic peptide, urea nitrogen, and creatinine in outpatients >70 years of age with heart failure 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This study analyzed the relevance of plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and echocardiography in predicting cardiovascular events in a large population >70 years old with heart failure (HF). Three hundred four outpatients with HF (51.6% men, mean age 78.6) underwent transthoracic echocardiography and plasma BNP testing shortly before hospital discharge. Echocardiography was intended to reveal systolic dysfunction (left ventricular [LV] ejection fraction [EF] <50%) or diastolic dysfunction (EF > or =50% and abnormalities of ventricular relaxation). During 6-month follow-up, all-cause death and readmission were assessed. One hundred seventeen patients had diastolic dysfunction with preserved systolic LV function, and 187 had systolic dysfunction. At 6-month clinical follow-up, 33 subjects (10.9%) had died, and 62 (20.4%) needed readmission for cardiac decompensation. In all patients, univariate logistic regression demonstrated significant correlations between age (r = 0.14, p = 0.01), plasma BNP (r = 0.36, p = 0.0001), the EF (r = 0.16, p = 0.003), urea nitrogen (r = 0.35, p = 0.0001), serum creatinine (r = 0.27, p = 0.0001), and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class (r = 0.35, p = 0.0001) and the occurrence of cardiovascular events. In patients with HF in NYHA class III or IV, a BNP cut-off level of 200 pg/ml identified different outcomes (BNP <200 pg/ml in 1 of 20 events vs BNP >200 pg/ml in 55 of 85 events, p = 0.0001). In patients with HF who were >70 years old, BNP, NYHA class, and renal function predicted adverse outcome. In patients with severe HF, BNP was better than NYHA class in predicting future events. 相似文献

Early electrocardiographic evaluation of atrial fibrillation risk in beta-thalassemia major patients
Russo V Rago A Pannone B Di Meo F Papa AA Mayer MC Spasiano A Russo MG Golino P Calabrò R Nigro G 《International journal of hematology》2011,93(4):446-451
Although previous studies have documented a variety of electrocardiogram abnormalities in beta-thalassemia major (β-TM), little is known about P-wave dispersion (PD), an independent risk factor for development of atrial fibrillation. The aim of our study was to evaluate PD in β-TM patients with conserved systolic and diastolic functions. The study involved 40 β-TM patients (age 37.5?±?10.2; 33?M) and 40 healthy subjects used as controls, matched for age and gender. PD was carefully measured using a 12-lead electrocardiogram. Cardiac iron levels were measured by cardiac magnetic resonance T2 star (CMR T2*) imaging. Comparing to the healthy control group, β-TM group presented increased values of the PD (40.1?±?12.9 vs. 24?±?7?ms; P?0.004) and decreased CMR T2* imaging (29?±?15 vs. 55?±?13?ms; P?=?0.03). We found a significant correlation between PD and CMR T2* values. Our study showed a significant increase of PD in β-TM patients with conserved systolic and diastolic cardiac functions. Our results indicate that PD is correlated to myocardial iron deposit, as assessed by CMR T2* imaging. 相似文献

We investigated the contribution of a dilated right-sided heart to roentgenographic cardiomegaly in patients with heart failure (HF) and a normal ejection fraction (EF; diastolic HF) and those with HF and a decreased EF (systolic HF). We compared the cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) on upright chest roentgenograms and major- and minor-axis dimensions of the 4 cardiac chambers on echocardiograms in patients with HF and a normal EF (> or =0.50, n = 35) and those with a decreased EF (<0.50, n = 37) and examined the correlation between the CTR and cardiac chamber dimensions. The CTR did not differ between patients with normal and decreased EF values (0.58 +/- 0.07 vs 0.60 +/- 0.06, p = 0.26). Left-side cardiac chamber dimensions were substantially smaller in patients with a normal EF than in those with a decreased EF (left ventricular minor-axis dimension, 4.4 +/- 0.7 vs 5.8 +/- 0.8 cm, p <0.001). In contrast, right-side cardiac chamber dimensions were generally similar between groups. The CTR correlated with major-axis dimensions of the right ventricle and right atrium (p <0.01 for the 2 comparisons), but not with the left-side cardiac chamber dimensions (all p values >0.05). In conclusion, the CTR predominantly reflects right- rather than left-sided heart size in patients with HF. Right-sided heart size is similar between patients with normal and decreased EF values. Thus, despite the substantial difference in left ventricular size and EF, there is substantial overlap in the CTR between patients with diastolic and systolic HFs and the CTR is unable to discriminate between groups. 相似文献

Enhanced left ventricular diastolic filling associated with long-term endurance training. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
D E Forman W J Manning R Hauser E V Gervino W J Evans J Y Wei 《Journal of gerontology》1992,47(2):M56-M58
Normal aging is associated with an impairment in early left ventricular diastolic filling. To test the hypothesis that long-term endurance exercise training is associated with enhanced ventricular diastolic filling indices, we compared transmitral pulsed Doppler inflow spectra in healthy young adults; healthy elderly, sedentary subjects (sedentary old); and healthy elderly, endurance athletes (master athletes). Our data demonstrate that, despite an increase in left ventricular mass, early diastolic filling was enhanced in master athletes compared to the sedentary old. Blood pressure of both master athletes and the sedentary olds was greater than the young adults, but the higher blood pressure did not correlate to changes in filling parameters. Resting systolic function and heart rate were not significantly different in all three different groups. Early left ventricular filling indices in master athletes more closely resemble transmitral inflow patterns of healthy young adults. Long-term endurance exercise is associated with physiologic hypertrophy and ventricular filling dynamics more characteristic of the young than the old. 相似文献

Postoperative survival and left ventricular function were studied in 128 patients who underwent isolated aortic valve replacement by the Bj?rk-Shiley valve between 1973 and 1977. The average follow-up was 2.1 years. Patients with associated coronary artery disease or mitral valve disease were excluded. Preoperative ejection fraction ranged from 15-84%. Forty-two patients were restudied by cardiac catheterization 9.1 +/- 1.1 months (mean +/- SEM) after valve replacement. The hospital mortality was 11%. Preoperative type of valve lesion, functional class, cardiothoracic ratio, and ejection fraction (EF) had no significant effect on postoperative survival up to 4 years. After operation, left ventricular mass (LVMI) and peak systolic wall stress (PSWS) fell significantly, while EF and mean normalized systolic ejection rate (MNSER) increased in aortic stenosis and in aortic insufficiency. Neither in aortic stenosis nor in aortic insufficiency was there a significant relation between preoperative ejection fraction and postoperative LVMI, EF, MNSER and PSWS. We attributed this to a marked improvement of left ventricular function in patients with preoperative impaired ventricular function. Six patients with paravalvular leak to restudy has a significantly lower EF and MNSER, and a higher PSWS than patients without leak. Patients without leak had normal EF, MNSER and PSWS when compared with 10 normal persons, but LVMI remained moderately elevated. Postoperative transprosthetic gradient was 11.9 mm Hg (range 0-64 mm Hg). We conclude that impaired cardiac function is completely restored after aortic valve replacement by Bj?rk-Shiley valve, if valve function is good. Patients with impaired cardiac function preoperatively did not have a poorer prognosis after operation than patients with normal function. 相似文献

Background- The aim of this study was to investigate the myocardial systolic and diastolic performance of the left ventricle (LV) in patients with heart failure with normal LV ejection fraction (HFNEF) through novel LV myocardial indices, which assess the systolic and diastolic function of the whole myocardium of the LV. Methods and Results- LV myocardial systolic and diastolic performance were assessed as the average value of peak systolic strain and peak early-diastolic strain rate, respectively, in longitudinal, circumferential, and radial directions from all LV segments using 2-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography. We studied patients with HFNEF and a control group consisting of asymptomatic subjects with LV diastolic dysfunction of similar age, sex, and LV ejection fraction. A total of 322 patients were included (92 with HFNEF and 230 with asymptomatic LV diastolic dysfunction). Myocardial systolic and diastolic LV performance were significantly lower in HFNEF (20.13±6.02% and 1.14±0.27 s(-1)) than in patients with asymptomatic LV diastolic dysfunction (25.33±6.06% and 1.37±0.33 s(-1), respectively; all P<0.0001). In addition, patients with HFNEF with low systolic and diastolic LV myocardial performance had significantly higher LV filling pressures (17.1±6.6 and 17.6±6.3 versus 12.0±5.1 and 11.7±4.7, respectively; all P<0.001) and lower cardiac output (4.8±1.0 L/min and 4.9±1.1 L/min versus 5.7±1.2 L/min and 5.8±1.1 L/min, respectively; all P<0.001) than patients with normal LV myocardial performance. In relation to these findings, the symptomatic status (ie, New York Heart Association functional class) was significantly altered in those patients with low systolic and diastolic LV myocardial performance. Conclusions- In patients with HFNEF, both systolic and diastolic LV myocardial performance are impaired, which is associated with increased LV filling pressures, decreased cardiac output, and worse New York Heart Association functional class. Therefore, the measurement of these myocardial parameters could be of great importance in HFNEF because these echocardiographic indices assess the multidirectional function of the whole myocardium of the LV, thereby allowing detection of an alteration of the global function of the LV which is associated with a worse symptomatic status in these patients. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: In patients with aortic stenosis (AS), the clinical outcome worsens after the development of angina, syncope, and heart failure. This study was performed to elucidate whether the outcome with AS was also poor in patients with diastolic heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS: Fifty-two patients who had undergone aortic valve replacement (AVR) for AS were retrospectively classified into 3 groups (G) on the basis of LV ejection fraction (EF) and pulmonary wedge pressure (PWP): G-1) normal LVEF, low PWP (EF > or = 45% and PWP < 16 mmHg; n = 35), G-2) normal LVEF, high PWP (EF > or = 45% and PWP > or = 16 mmHg; n = 8), and G-3) low LVEF (EF < 45%; n = 9). Among these 3 groups, we compared the outcome after AVR. None of the patients died after the operation in AS with preserved LVEF irrespective of the PWP, whereas there were 3 cardiac deaths in AS with low EF irrespective of the PWP. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with AS, diastolic heart failure developed in addition to systolic heart failure. The development of LV systolic dysfunction in AS was regarded as poor during the postoperative course, but diastolic heart failure did not affect the outcome. The occurrence of heart failure with preserved systolic function may have a slightly better prognosis and may still be suitable for AVR. 相似文献
