The Effects of Dexmedetomidine on Myocardial Function Assessed by Tissue Doppler Echocardiography During General Anesthesia in Patients With Diastolic Dysfunction: A CONSORT-Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: Dexmedetomidine is a commonly used sedative and adjuvant agent to general anesthesia. The present was designed to evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine on myocardial function by using tissue Doppler echocardiography during general anesthesia in patients with diastolic dysfunction.Forty patients undergoing orthostatic surgery with ejection fraction preserved diastolic dysfunction grade 2 or 3 were randomly allocated to the Control and Dex group (n?=?20, each). In the Dex group, dexmedetomidine was given as an initial loading dose of 1.0??g/kg over 10?minutes followed by a maintenance dose of 0.5??g/kg/h. The ratio of peak early diastolic transmitral or transtricuspid inflow velocity to early diastolic mitral or tricuspid annular velocity (LV or RV E/e') and left or right ventricular myocardial performance index (LV or RV MPI) were measured at before and after the administration dexmedetomidine or saline.The Dex group showed significant decrease of heart rate (P?=?0.038), and increase of mean blood pressure (P?

Project description:BackgroundEarly detection of diastolic dysfunction is crucial for patients with incipient heart failure. Although this evaluation could be performed from phase-contrast (PC) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) data, its usefulness in clinical routine is not yet established, mainly because the interpretation of such data remains mostly based on manual post-processing. Accordingly, our goal was to develop a robust process to automatically estimate velocity and flow rate-related diastolic parameters from PC-CMR data and to test the consistency of these parameters against echocardiography as well as their ability to characterize left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction.ResultsWe studied 35 controls and 18 patients with severe aortic valve stenosis and preserved LV ejection fraction who had PC-CMR and Doppler echocardiography exams on the same day. PC-CMR mitral flow and myocardial velocity data were analyzed using custom software for semi-automated extraction of diastolic parameters. Inter-operator reproducibility of flow pattern segmentation and functional parameters was assessed on a sub-group of 30 subjects. The mean percentage of overlap between the transmitral flow segmentations performed by two independent operators was 99.7 ± 1.6%, resulting in a small variability (<1.96 ± 2.95%) in functional parameter measurement. For maximal myocardial longitudinal velocities, the inter-operator variability was 4.25 ± 5.89%. The MR diastolic parameters varied significantly in patients as opposed to controls (p < 0.0002). Both velocity and flow rate diastolic parameters were consistent with echocardiographic values (r > 0.71) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed their ability to separate patients from controls, with sensitivity > 0.80, specificity > 0.80 and accuracy > 0.85. Slight superiority in terms of correlation with echocardiography (r = 0.81) and accuracy to detect LV abnormalities (sensitivity > 0.83, specificity > 0.91 and accuracy > 0.89) was found for the PC-CMR flow-rate related parameters.ConclusionsA fast and reproducible technique for flow and myocardial PC-CMR data analysis was successfully used on controls and patients to extract consistent velocity-related diastolic parameters, as well as flow rate-related parameters. This technique provides a valuable addition to established CMR tools in the evaluation and the management of patients with diastolic dysfunction.

Project description:Diastolic dysfunction often complicates myocardial ischemia with increased mortality rates. However, less is known about diastolic function after perinatal asphyxia in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) during therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and rewarming.AimThe aim of this study was to assess diastolic function with tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) in neonates with moderate-severe HIE during TH and rewarming.MethodNewborns at >36 weeks' gestation with moderate-severe HIE treated with TH were evaluated with targeted neonatal echocardiography (TNE), including TDI, within 24 h of TH initiation (T1), at 48-72 h of treatment (T2), and after rewarming (T3). These retrospective data were collected and compared with a control group of healthy babies at >36 weeks' gestation that was prospectively evaluated following the same protocol.ResultsA total of 21 patients with HIE + TH and 15 controls were included in the study. Myocardial relaxation before the onset of biventricular filling was prolonged in the HIE + TH group during TH with significantly longer isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT') in the left ventricle (LV), the septum, and the right ventricle (RV). This was associated with slower RV early diastolic velocity (e') and prolonged filling on T1. Total isovolumic time (t-IVT; isovolumic contraction time [IVCT'] + IVRT') and myocardial performance index (MPI') were globally increased in asphyxiated neonates. All these differences persisted after correction for heart rate (HR) and normalized after rewarming. TDI parameters assessing late diastole (a' velocity or e'/a' and E/e' ratios) did not differ between groups.ConclusionTDI evaluation in our study demonstrated a pattern of early diastolic dysfunction during TH that normalized after rewarming, whereas late diastole seemed to be preserved. Our data also suggest a possible involvement of impaired twist/untwist motion and dyssynchrony. More studies are needed to investigate the impact and therapeutic implication of diastolic dysfunction in these babies, as well as to clarify the role of TH in these findings.
