摘要
The purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of pulsed tissue Doppler imaging for diagnosing constrictive pericarditis. Motion velocities of the ventricular septum (VS) and left ventricular (LV) posterior wall along the short axis, and those of the anterior right ventricular (RV) wall, VS, and LV posterior wall along the long axis were recorded using pulsed tissue Doppler imaging in 12 patients with constrictive pericarditis, who were diagnosed by cardiac catheterization, and also in 20 normal subjects. Peak early diastolic and atrial systolic velocities (Ew and Aw, respectively) were calculated, and the time between the aortic component of the second heart sound and the peak of the early diastolic velocity (IIA-Ew) was determined. The peak Ew and II A-Ew along the short and long axes were significantly higher and shorter, respectively, in the patient group than in the normal group. In the patient group, the motion velocity of the VS along the short axis showed a "backward" motion with a sharp and marked peak velocity immediately before Ew, or a biphasic early diastolic wave; a clear "downward" motion immediately after Ew was observed in the motion velocities of the anterior RV wall, VS, and LV posterior wall along the long axis. These distinctive backward and downward motions were not observed in any of the ventricular walls of the normal subjects. In conclusion, the early diastolic RV and LV wall motion velocity patterns along the short and long axes as measured by pulsed tissue Doppler imaging provide important information for the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis.
