Left Ventricular Compliance

Diastolic dysfunction is one of the earliest cardiac abnormalities in patients with chronic kidney disease. We analyzed echocardiographic markers of left ventricular function from 786 children and adolescents (1658 person-visits) enrolled in the CKiD (Chronic Kidney Disease in Children) cohort, a large prospective observational study of children with chronic kidney disease. Primary outcome was early mitral inflow velocity-to-early mitral annular peak velocity (E/e′) ratio as a marker of left ventricular compliance. Abnormal diastolic function was defined as E/e′>8.0. Those with an abnormal E/e′ ratio were younger, had a lower estimated glomerular filtration rate and hemoglobin, and a higher prevalence of hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy compared to children with a normal E/e′. In adjusted analysis, a higher E/e′ ratio was independently associated with ambulatory (sustained) hypertension (1.66 [95% CI, 1.15–2.42]). Other significant independent predictors were higher left ventricular mass index Z score, increased body mass index Z score, lower hemoglobin, higher phosphorus level, and younger age. Casual blood pressure was not significantly associated with higher E/e′. These data indicate that ambulatory blood pressure might better identify children with chronic kidney disease at risk for subclinical cardiac dysfunction than clinic blood pressure alone.

The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility and accuracy of wall motion score index (WMSI) and myocardial performance index (MPI) for measuring regional and global left ventricular (LV) function with use of high-resolution echocardiography after myocardial infarction (MI) in mice. In 48 mice, myocardial infarction was induced by ligation in the middle of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Echocardiography was performed under anesthesia at baseline and 1 mo after MI. WMSI was analyzed by a 16-segment model on short-axis views, and wall motion was scored as 1 for normal, 2 for hypokinetic, 3 for akinetic, 4 for dyskinetic, and 5 for aneurysmal. WMSI was calculated as the sum of scores divided by the total number of segments. MPI was calculated on the basis of isovolumetric contraction time (IVCT), isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT), and ejection time (ET): MPI = (IVCT + IVRT)/ET. We measured LV ejection fraction (LVEF), end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes (ESV and EDV), fractional shortening (FS), and infarct size (IS). LVEF at 4 wk after MI was reduced at 32.8 ± 9.0%. Linear correlation analyses showed that WMSI (1.6 ± 0.3) correlated with LVEF ( r = −0.84, P < 0.0005), FS ( r = −0.43, P = 0.003), and IS (34.3 ± 15.3%, r = 0.86, P < 0.0005). MPI (0.67 ± 0.09) correlated with LVEF ( r = −0.67, P < 0.0005) and IS ( r = 0.72, P < 0.0005). MPI also correlated with mitral inflow velocity ( r = −0.68, P < 0.0005) and deceleration time ( r = −0.42, P = 0.003). Stepwise regression analysis revealed that WMSI was independently associated with IS. IS, FS, mitral inflow velocity, and deceleration time were independent determinants of MPI. In conclusion, echocardiographic assessments of WMSI and MPI in mice are feasible and correlate strongly with two-dimensional measurement of LV function and IS. These novel parameters provide additional noninvasive assessment of regional and global LV function in mice after MI.

Aging is associated with impaired early diastolic filling; however, the effect of endurance training on resting diastolic function in older subjects is unclear. Heart rate and ventricular loading conditions affect mitral inflow velocities measured by Doppler echocardiography; therefore, tissue Doppler imaging of mitral annular velocity, which is relatively preload independent, was combined with mitral inflow velocity and maximal oxygen consumption (V̇o2 max) in young (20-35 yr) and older (60-80 yr) trained and untrained men to determine whether endurance training is associated with an attenuation of age-associated changes in diastolic filling. As expected, V̇o2 max was higher in trained men ( P < 0.01) and lower in older men ( P < 0.01). Peak early mitral inflow velocity (E) and early-to-late mitral inflow velocity ratios were lower in older vs. young men ( P < 0.01); however, there was no training effect ( P > 0.05). Peak early mitral annular velocity (E′) was higher and peak late mitral annular velocity (A′) was lower in young vs. older men ( P < 0.01). A significant interaction effect was found for A′, E′/A′, and peak systolic mitral annular velocity (S′). Training was associated with lower A′ in young and higher A′ in older men. S′ was greater in trained vs. untrained older men ( P < 0.05), but it was similar in trained and untrained young men. These findings suggest that early diastolic filling is not affected by training in older men, and the effect of training on A′ and S′ is different in young and older men.

To determine the early and late effects of myocardial infarction on left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in the rabbit postinfarction model, male New Zealand White rabbits were randomly assigned to ligation of the circumflex artery or sham operation. Serial echocardiographic and Doppler studies were performed on both groups of animals at baseline and 1 h and 3 wk after surgery ( n = 10 for each group) after verification of the reproducibility and repeatability of the measurements. At 1 h postinfarction, decreases in early mitral inflow velocity (E wave) and mitral inflow velocity with atrial contraction (A wave) and increases in the mean pulmonary venous systolic-to-diastolic ratio and A wave reversal velocities were observed, without changes in LV geometry. By 3 wk postinfarction, increases in the mitral E-to-A ratio (1.1 ± 0.3 vs. 2.9 ± 0.9, P < 0.001) and left atrial area (131 ± 23 vs. 510 ± 72 mm2, P < 0.001) and decreases in the pulmonary venous systolic-to-diastolic ratio (0.56 ± 0.20 vs. 0.79 ± 0.14, P = 0.008) were consistent with severe diastolic abnormalities (restricted physiology). The findings of this study demonstrate that coronary artery ligation in the rabbit provides a reproducible echocardiographic and Doppler model of LV diastolic dysfunction that is consistent with abnormalities found in humans with previous myocardial infarction, symptoms of heart failure, and preserved LV systolic function.
