Impaired Systolic and Diastolic Left Ventricular Function in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease - Results from the 4C Study.

ABSTRACT: Children with chronic kidney disease suffer from excessive cardiovascular mortality and early alterations of the cardiovascular system. Tissue doppler imaging is a validated echocardiographic tool to assess early systolic and diastolic cardiac dysfunction. We hypothesized that tissue Doppler velocities would reveal reduced cardiac function in children with chronic kidney disease compared to healthy children. A standardized echocardiographic exam was performed in 128 patients of the Cardiovascular Comorbidity in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease (4C) Study aged 6-17 years with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below 60?ml/min/1.73?m2. Tissue Doppler measurements included early (E') and late (A') diastolic and systolic (S') velocity at the mitral and septal annulus of the left ventricle. Measured values were normalized to z-scores using published reference data. Predictors of E'/A', E/E', S' and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were assessed by multiple linear regression analyses. Tissue Doppler E' was reduced and tissue Doppler A' increased, resulting in a reduced tissue Doppler E'/A' ratio (z-score -0.14, p?

Project description:BackgroundLeft ventricular diastolic dysfunction has a significant impact on perioperative morbidity and mortality, and its incidence is high in elderly individuals. Anesthetic agents may impair diastolic function, which may increase the incidence of perioperative complications. The aim of this prospective, clinical, phase 4 study was to investigate the effects of remifentanil on left ventricle (LV) diastolic function in patients with diastolic dysfunction. The study was performed on 30 spontaneously breathing subjects (aged 60-80 years) with diastolic dysfunction.MethodsThirty patients (aged 60-80 years) with diastolic dysfunction scheduled for surgery were recruited between November 2019 and March 2023. Left ventricle function was evaluated once the intravenous remifentanil infusion reached a target-controlled concentration of 2 ng/ml with transthoracic echocardiography. Analysis of systolic function focused on left ventricular ejection fraction and mean mitral annular S velocity (Sm), whereas diastolic function focused on changes in transmitral peak flow (E), E/A, mitral septal and lateral e' waves, E/e' ratios and left atrial volume index following remifentanil infusion.ResultsDiastolic function measures of LV (mitral E/e', septal and lateral e' waves) statistically significantly improved (E/e' from 10.6 ± 2.9 cm.sn- 1 to 9.5 ± 2.2 cm.sn- 1; p = 0.006) following remifentanil infusion. Left atrial volume index decreased following remifentanil infusion without statistical significance (from 55 ± 14.4 ml.cm- 2 to 51.6 ± 13.3 ml.cm- 2; p = 0.1). Systolic function (ejection fraction and Sm) did not change following remifentanil infusion.ConclusionsRemifentanil improves left ventricular diastolic parameters in patients with preexisting diastolic dysfunction. Our study suggests that remifentanil at a plasma concentration of 2 ng.ml- 1 might be used safely in patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.

Project description:Background and Objectives: No data are available on whether the heritability of left ventricle (LV) systolic and diastolic parameters are independent of each other. Therefore, our aim was to assess the magnitude of common and independent genetic and environmental factors defining LV systolic and diastolic function. Materials and Methods: We analyzed 184 asymptomatic twins (65% female, mean age: 56 ± 9 years). Transthoracic echocardiography was performed to measure LV systolic (global longitudinal and circumferential strain; basal and apical rotation) and diastolic (early diastolic velocity of mitral inflow and lateral mitral annulus tissue; deceleration time and early diastolic strain rate) parameters using conventional and speckle-tracking echocardiography. Genetic structural equation models were evaluated to quantify the proportion of common and specific genetic (Ac, As) and environmental factors (Ec, Es) contributing to the phenotypes. Results: LV systolic parameters had no common genetic or environmental heritability (Ac range: 0-0%; Ec range: 0-0%; As range: 57-77%; Es range: 24-43%). Diastolic LV parameters were mainly determined by common genetic and environmental effects (Ac range: 9-40%; Ec range: 11-49%; As range: 0-29%; Es range: 0-51%). Systolic parameters had no common genetic or environmental factors (Ac = 0%; Ec = 0%) with diastolic metrics. Conclusions: Systolic LV parameters have a strong genetic predisposition to any impact. They share no common genetic or environmental factors with each other or with diastolic parameters, indicating that they may deteriorate specifically to given effects. However, diastolic functional parameters are mainly affected by common environmental influences, suggesting that pathological conditions may deteriorate them equally. Estimation of the genetic and environmental influence and interdependence on systolic and diastolic LV function may help the understanding of the pathomechanism of different heart failure classification types.
