Non-Invasive Estimation of Left Ventricular Filling Pressure Based on Left Atrial Area Strain Measured With Transthoracic 3-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Background: Chronic elevation of left ventricular (LV) diastolic pressure (DP) or chronic elevation of left atrial (LA) pressure, which is required to maintain LV filling, may determine LA wall deformation. We investigated this issue using transthoracic 3-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiograph...

Sumario: | Background: Chronic elevation of left ventricular (LV) diastolic pressure (DP) or chronic elevation of left atrial (LA) pressure, which is required to maintain LV filling, may determine LA wall deformation. We investigated this issue using transthoracic 3-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3D-STE). Methods and Results: We retrospectively enrolled 75 consecutive patients with sinus rhythm and suspected stable coronary artery disease who underwent diagnostic cardiac catheterization and 3D-STE on the same day. We computed the global LA wall area change ratio, termed the global LA area strain (GLAS), during both the reservoir phase (GLAS-r) and contraction phase (GLAS-ct). The LVDP at end-diastole (LVEDP) and mean LVDP (mLVDP) were measured with a catheter-tipped micromanometer in each patient. GLAS-r and GLAS-ct were significantly correlated with both mLVDP (r=−0.70 [P<0.001] and r=0.71 [P<0.001], respectively) and LVEDP (r=−0.63 [P<0.001] and r=0.65 [P<0.001], respectively). In receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the optimal cut-off values for diagnosing elevated LVEDP (≥16 mmHg) were 75.7% (sensitivity 83.3%, specificity 77.8%) for GLAS-r and −43.1% (sensitivity 90.0%, specificity 80.0%) for GLAS-ct. Similarly, for diagnosing elevated mLVDP (≥12 mmHg), the cut-off values were 63.6% (sensitivity 88.9%, specificity 80.3%) for GLAS-r and −26.2% (sensitivity 66.7%, specificity 97.0%) for GLAS-ct. Conclusions: We showed that 3D-STE-derived GLAS values could be used to non-invasively diagnose elevated LV filling pressure. |
