摘要
Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the utility of tissue Doppler echocardiography in the setting of repaired transposition of the great arteries when the right ventricle (RV) functions as the systemic ventricle. Background Myocardial acceleration during isovolumic contraction, "isovolumic myocardial acceleration" (IVA), has been validated as a sensitive non-invasive method of assessing RV contractility. Although traditional indexes may be less valid for the abnormal RV, the relative insensitivity of IVA to an abnormal load makes it a potentially powerful clinical tool for the assessment of RV disease. Methods We examined 55 controls and 80 patients (mean age 22 years) with transposition, who had undergone atrial repair at age 8 (0.3 to 72) months. A subgroup of 12 underwent cardiac catheterization. The RV systolic function was derived by analysis of pressure-volume relationships and IVA both at rest and during dobutamine stress. In all 80, myocardial velocities were sampled in the RV free wall. Results During dobutamine (10 mug/kg/min for 10 min), the increase of IVA mirrored the increase in end-systolic elastance (r=0.69, p<0.02). In the group as a whole, IVA was reduced compared with the subpulmonary RV and the systemic left ventricle of controls. There was abnormal wall motion in 44 patients, which was associated with reduced IVA. Diastolic myocardial velocities were also abnormal but unrelated to the presence of wall motion abnormalities. Conclusions The IVA can accurately assess changes in RV contractile function in patients with an RV as the systemic ventricle. Global long-axis RV function is reduced in patients with transposition, and this is associated with abnormal regional function.
