摘要
Objectives This study explored the effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on left ventricular (LV) twist, particularly in relation to LV lead position. Background LV twist is emerging as a comprehensive index of LV function. Methods Eighty heart failure patients were included. Two-dimensional echocardiography was performed at baseline, immediately after CRT, and at 6-month follow-up. Speckle-tracking analysis was applied to assess LV twist. The LV lead was placed preferably in a (postero) lateral vein, and at fluoroscopy, the position was classified as basal, midventricular, or apical. Response to CRT was defined as reduction of LV end-systolic volume >= 15% at 6-month follow-up. A control group comprised 30 normal subjects. Results Peak LV twist in heart failure patients was 4.8 +/- 2.6 degrees compared with 15.0 +/- 3.6 degrees in the control subjects (p < 0.001). At 6-month follow-up, peak LV twist significantly improved only in responders (56%), from 4.3 +/- 2.4 degrees to 8.5 +/- 3.2 degrees (p < 0.001). The strongest predictor of response to CRT was the improvement of peak LV twist immediately after CRT (odds ratio: 1.899, 95% confidence interval: 1.334 to 2.703, p < 0.001). Furthermore, LV twist significantly improved in patients with an apical (from 4.3 +/- 3.1 degrees to 8.6 +/- 3.0 degrees, p = 0.001) and midventricular (from 4.8 +/- 2.2 degrees to 6.4 +/- 3.9 degrees, p = 0.038) but not with a basal (5.0 +/- 3.3 degrees vs. 4.1 +/- 3.2 degrees, p = 0.28) LV lead position. Similarly, LV ejection fraction significantly increased in patients with an apical (from 26 +/- 7% to 37 +/- 7%, p < 0.001) and midventricular (from 26 +/- 6% to 33 +/- 8%, p < 0.001) but not with a basal (26 +/- 5% vs. 28 +/- 8%, p = 0.30) LV lead position. Conclusions An immediate improvement of LV twist after CRT predicts LV reverse remodeling at 6-month follow-up.
