目的应用三维斑点追踪技术(3D-STI)评价心脏再同步化治疗(CRT)前后患者的心肌力学特征。方法获取53例CRT患者左室环向、纵向及径向应变(CS、LS、RS)来评估左室心肌收缩力;测量并计算左室16节段环向、纵向及径向应变达峰时间标准差(Tcs-16SD、Tls-16SD、Trs-16SD)来评估左室机械同步性。结果 (1)CRT术前,CRT有效组左室心肌收缩力较无效组强,机械同步性较无效组差(P〈0.05);(2)CRT术后,CRT有效组心肌收缩力及机械同步性均显著改善;CRT无效组心肌收缩力较术前改善(P〈0.05),机械同步性与术前相比无明显差异(P〉0.05);(3)在3D-STI指标中,Tls-16SD预测CRT术后疗效最有价值;(4)三维容积及心肌力学指标在观察者内、观察者间有较好的一致性。结论 CRT既能改善左室机械同步性,也能改善左室心肌收缩力,Tls-16SD能够有效地预测CRT疗效。
Objective To evaluate the myocardial mechanics in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy(CRT)using three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging(3D-STI)before and 6 months after operation.Methods A randomized group of 53 CRT patients were prospectively enrolled.Three-dimensional circumferential strain(CS),longitudinal strain(LS),and radial strain(RS)were measured to assess LV myocardial contractility;the time to peak circumferential strain,longitudinal strain and radial strain of the LV 16 segments were measured and the standard deviations of them were calculated as Tcs-16 SD,Tls-16 SD and Trs-16 SD respectively to assess LV mechanical dyssynchrony.Results(1)Before CRT,the Response group had better LV myocardial contractility and poorer mechanical dyssynchrony than the Nonresponse group(P〈0.05).(2)At 6-month follow-up,in Response group,both LV mechanical dyssynchrony and contractility were significantly improved;however,in the Nonresponse group,only LV myocardial contractility was slightly improved(P〈0.05),while LV mechanical synchronization remained unchanged.(3)Of all indices in 3D-STI,The area under the ROC curve of Tls-16 SD expressed best value.(4)Indices of three-dimensional volume and myocardial mechanics has preferable reproducibility.Conclusions CRT can improve not only LV mechanical dyssynchrony but also its myocardial contractility.Tls-16 SD can effectively predict the response of CRT.
