Effect Evaluation of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Elderly Patients with Heart Failure by Ultrasound Image under QuickOpt Algorithm

This research was aimed at analyzing the application value of echocardiography and QuickOpt algorithm in optimizing parameters of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in elderly patients with heart failure. 50 elderly patients who were diagnosed with chronic heart failure and underwent CRT were chosen as the research objects. According to the different optimization methods, the patients were divided into the echocardiography group and QuickOpt algorithm group, 25 cases in each group. The general data, optimized intervals, corresponding maximum aortic velocity time integrals (aVTIs), cardiac ultrasound indicators, and ventricular arrhythmia episodes of the patients in the two groups were analyzed. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the optimized sensed atrioventricular (SAV), paced atrioventricular (PAV), and ventricle to ventricle (VV) intervals and the corresponding aVTIs obtained by echocardiography and QuickOpt (P > 0.05). The consistency analysis revealed that the aVTIs in the SAV, PAV, and VV intervals presented a good consistency (P < 0.01), which were obtained by the echocardiography and QuickOpt functional optimization; the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) in them was 96.16%, 98.03%, and 95.48%, respectively. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) showed an increasing trend over time in both groups, while the left ventricular end systolic volume (LVESV), left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV), and morphological right ventricle (MRV) showed the downward trends over time, and the differences between two groups were not significant (P > 0.05). For the premature ventricular contraction (PVC) of ventricular arrhythmia episodes, there was no significant difference between the two groups in log (PVCs) and log (PVC runs) (P > 0.05). It was also found that both echocardiography and QuickOpt algorithm could improve the cardiac function of patients with heart failure significantly and reduce ventricular arrhythmia episodes and ventricular remodeling via optimized CRT; there was no difference in the improvement effect of the two optimization methods. However, echocardiography was inferior to QuickOpt algorithm in terms of time-consuming optimization in the intervals. This provided a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of elderly patients with heart failure.
