We investigated and compared the correlations between two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography detected left ventricular peak early diastolic strain rates (global: left ventricular global peak early diastolic strain rate; septum: left ventricular peak early diastolic strain rate of septum; free wall: left ventricular peak early diastolic strain rate of free wall) and disease severity in pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension. Seventy-four pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension patients (23 males and 51 females, 35 ± 13 years) and thirty healthy controls were consecutively recruited for two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography analyses in our study. Medical records of pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension patients were reviewed to capture clinical data; risk assessments were performed based on the 2015 ESC Guidelines. Compared with healthy controls, left ventricular global peak early diastolic strain rate was lower in pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension patients (1.11 ± 0.60 s−1 versus 1.47 ± 0.45 s−1, P = 0.001), especially that of the septum (1.13 ± 0.58 s−1 versus 1.68 ± 0.46 s−1, P<0.001). Linear correlation analyses showed significant but weak correlations between left ventricle diastolic parameters and peak oxygen consumption, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, and conventional echocardiographic right ventricle parameters: E/E′, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, S′, and fractional area change. No or weak correlations were observed between left ventricle diastolic parameters and hemodynamics. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed left ventricular global peak early diastolic strain rate (OR: 0.304; 95%CI: 0.101–0.911) and left ventricular peak early diastolic strain rate of septum (OR: 0.252; 95%CI: 0.075–0.848) independently predict intermediate–high risk of pulmonary hypertension patients, even adjusted by age, gender, and body mass index. Receive operating characteristic curves showed that all the three models had the capacity to predict intermediate–high risk of pulmonary hypertension patients, and the model including left ventricular peak early diastolic strain rate of septum showed the strongest predictive capacity (area under the curve = 0.76, 95%CI: 0.59–0.93). Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography detected left ventricle diastolic function parameters are significantly correlated with clinical data and can independently predict intermediate–high risk in pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension patients; the dysfunction of interventricular septum may make major contribution.

AbstractObjectivesTo evaluate cardiac maturational and haemodynamic alteration in healthy newborns and infants and determine reference values in this period using tissue Doppler, strain, and strain rate echocardiography.Material and MethodsThe study included 149 healthy subjects. Babies from 1 day to 3 months were selected from the well-baby nursery department, and infants were selected from paediatric clinics during routine visits for health maintenance. Subjects were allocated to four groups: preterm (36–37 weeks, n = 32), term (≥38 weeks, n = 32), 1 month of age (n = 47), and 3 months of age (n = 38). Standard echocardiographic evaluations, pulsed wave Doppler, tissue Doppler echocardiography, strain, and strain rate studies were applied by the same person using a MyLab50 echo machine. Longitudinal and circumferential systolic strain and strain rate measurements were assessed by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography in all subjects.ResultsThe longitudinal systolic velocity, strain, and strain rate values derived from left ventricle apical four-, three-, and two-chamber images, and circumferential systolic velocity, strain, and strain rate values derived from left ventricle short-axis images decreased from the base to the apex in all subjects (p < 0.001).ConclusionSignificant cardiac haemodynamic alterations occurred during the newborn and early infancy periods and were detected by tissue Doppler, strain, and strain rate echocardiography. Although two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography is useful and can produce improved, reliable results in clinical practice, it has some limitations. Therefore, more studies on this issue are required.
