説明
Background. The present study was conducted to examine left atrial (LA) dyssynchrony, determined by echocardiographic myocardial strain imaging, in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).<br> Methods. We studied 26 patients with HCM (20 men and 6 women, age, 66±7 years) and 25 normal subjects (controls). Tissue Doppler-based strain images were recorded in the apical 2-, 4-chamber, and long-axis views. The LA strain curve was obtained with the region of interest placed at the 5 LA segments, namely, the atrial septum, lateral wall, inferior wall, anterior wall, and posterior wall. We measured standard deviation (SD) of the time-periods between aortic valve opening and maximal strain (reservoir dyssynchrony index) and SD of the time-periods between mitral valve opening and minimal strain (emptying dyssynchrony index).<br>Results. Compared with controls, patients with HCM had greater indexes of reservoir (40±23 ms vs. 23±8 ms, p=0.001) and emptying (37±17 ms vs. 28±11 ms, p=0.02) dyssynchrony. Reservoir dyssynchrony (index >39 ms) was detectable in 11 patients, and emptying dyssynchrony (index >50 ms) was detectable in 5 patients. Patients with reservoir dyssynchrony had a greater LV mass index than those without (182±45 g/m2 vs. 142±32 g/m2, p=0.01), whereas patients with emptying dyssynchrony had greater LA minimal volume (39±12 ml/m2 vs. 26±10 ml/m2 p=0.02) and lower LA emptying fraction than those without (27±3% vs. 39±11%, p=0.02).<br>Conclusions. LA dyssynchrony can be present throughout the cardiac cycle in patients with HCM. LA dyssynchrony is more common in the reservoir phase and may be attributed to significant myocardial involvement.
