Left ventricular function in children with the Marfan syndrome

Aortic dilatation and heart valve lesions are common in theMarfan syndrome but whether primary alterations occur in leftventricular (LV) function has not been studied hitherto. LVsize, mass and systolic as well as diastolic function were studiedby M-mode and Doppler echocardiography and cine magnetic resonanceimaging in 22 Marfan children aged 3.0–15.4 years andin 22 age-matched healthy children. No child had significantvalve disease. Heart rate and systolic blood pressure were comparablein the groups but diastolic blood pressure was higher in thecontrols (67 ± 7 mmHg vs 62 ± 8 mmHg, P=0.030).No statistically significant differences were found in LV size,mass or systolic function. The Marfan children had slower LVpeak diameter lengthening rates (106 ± 27 mm s^–1vs 132 ± 29 mm. s^–1, P=0.004), prolonged relaxationtimes (155 ± 22 ms vs 140 ± 19ms, P=0.023), slowerdeceleration of the early transmitral velocity (580 ±144 cm.s^–2 vs 720 ± 160 cm. s^–2, P=0.006),and smaller early-to-late peak velocity ratios (1.99 ±0.40 vs 2.29 ± 0.46, P=0.031). These data indicate thatI.V early diastolic function (relaxation) is impaired in theMarfan syndrome. Weakened elastic recoil due to the underlyingconnective tissue abnormality may best explain this novel observation.     

Inferior ST segment depression as a useful marker for identifying proximal left anterior descending artery occlusion during acute anterior myocardial infarction

To determine whether or not ST segment deviation on admissionelectrocardiograms can identify patients with anterior acutgemyocardial infarction due to proximal left anterior descendingartery occlusion, the magnitude and location of ST segment elevationor depression were compared between patients with proximal leftanterior descending artery occlusion (group A, n=47) and thosewith distal left anterior descending artery occlusion (groupB, n =59). ST segment depression in each of the inferior leadswas significantly greater in group A than in group B. The incidenceof ST segment depression 1 mm in each of the inferior leads(II; 81% vs 27%, III; 85% vs 54%, aVF; 87% vs 47%, P<0·01)was significantly higher in group A than in group B. In addition,the incidence of ST segment depression 1 mm in all of the inferiorleads was significantly greater in group A than in group B (77%vs 22%, P<0·01). In group A, maximal ST segment elevationwas more frequent in lead V alone (43% vs 14%, P<0·01).Group A had greater ST segment elevation in lead a VL than groupB, and the incidence of ST segment elevation 1 mm in lead aVL was significantly higher in group A than in group B (66%vs 47%, P<0·05). ST segment depression 1 mm in allof the inferior leads was most valuable for identifying groupA patients (77% sensitivity and 78% specificity). In contrast,the maximal ST segment elevation in lead V₂ alone or ST segmentelevation 1 mm in lead a VL had a low diagnostic value (43%sensitivity and 86% specificity, 66% sensitivity and 53% specificity,respectively). In conclusion, this study indicates that analysisof ST segment deviation in the inferior leads is useful foridentifying patients with acute anterior myocardial infarctiondue to proximal left anterior descending occlusion.     

Pulmonary venous flow as assessed by Doppler echocardiography: potential clinical applications

During the past few years Doppler assessment of pulmonary venous flow has gained increasing interest. The growing experience with the use of transesophageal echocardiography, the approach that nearly always yields registrations adequate for quantitative analysis, has markedly contributed in this respect. The Doppler-derived pulmonary venous flow pattern can be regarded as a measure of left atrial inflow and it augments the clinical significance of Doppler transmitral flow in the evaluation of diastolic left ventricular function. This article summarizes physiological background, possible applications, and limitations of Doppler echocardiography of pulmonary venous flow in clinical cardiology.     

Left Ventricular Mass Estimation by Echocardiography

Echocardiographic determination of left ventricular mass provides prognostic information that is independent of blood pressure. This prognostic information has a graded and continuous relationship with outcome, and is independent of traditional risk factors. This article addresses the prognostic and clinical utility of echocardiography for detection of left ventricular mass. Recommendations will be offered regarding the use of echocardiography for screening in select individuals.
