速度向量成像评价正常成人右心室应变和应变率

目的 应用速度向量成像定量分析正常成人右室心肌应变和应变率.方法 选取健康成人32例,在心尖四腔观测量右室游离壁和室间隔右室面基底段、中间段、心尖段6个节段的应变和应变率收缩期峰值,Simpson法测量右室容量及射血分数.结果 Simpson法及速度向量成像法测量的正常右室射血分数高度相关(r=0.91,P＜0.01),右室游离壁基底段和中间段的应变、应变率均高于心尖段(P＜0.05).二者的应变和应变率差异均无统计学意义(P＞0.05),室间隔右室面的应变和应变率也有相同的规律,右室游离壁基底段和中间段的应变和应变率高于相应室间隔节段(P＜0.05),右室游离壁心尖段和室间隔心尖段的应变和应变率无明显差异,右室的应变和应变率和年龄无明显的相关性.结论 速度向量成像技术可以准确定量评估右室室壁应变和应变率.

Quantitative analysis of strain and strain rate of right ventricular in normal subjects by velocity vector imaging

Objective To investigate strain and strain rate of right ventricular(RV)based on twodimensional image by velocity vector imaging in normal subjects.Methods Thirty-two healthy adults were rolled in this study.Echocardiographic images in 4 chamber view were analyzed by conventional manual tracing for volumes and ejection fractions,which were also measured by velocity vector imaging.Myocardial velocity,strain rate,and strain were determined at the basal,mid,and apical segments of the RV free wall and ventricular septum by velocity vector imaging.Results RV ejection fractions obtained with manual tracing correlated strongly with the same indexes obtained by velocity vector imaging method in all subjects(r=0.91,P＜0.01).The strain and strain rate value of middle segment and basal segment in RV free wall were higher than those of apical segment.There were same trend in ventricular septal.The strain and strain rate of middle segment and basal segment in RV free wall were higher than those of homologous segments in ventricular septal,but the indexes of apical segment in free wail and septal had no difference.The strain and strain rate in RV were not correlated with age.Conclusions Velocity vector imaging could accurately and quantitatively assess the strain and strain rate of RV.
