Characterization of left ventricular cavity flow, wall stress and energy loss by color doppler vector flow mapping in children and adolescents with cardiomyopathy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vector flow mapping is an emerging echocardiographic method allowing for investigation of intracardiac blood flow mechanics, wall shear stress (WSS), and energy loss (EL). We hypothesized that alterations in EL and WSS will differ among subjects with hypertrophic (HCM), dilated (DCM) cardiomyopathy, and normal controls.

Methods

Echocardiograms were prospectively performed with the ProSound F75CV (Hitachi HealthCare., Tokyo, Japan) on all subjects. 2D color Doppler cine loop images were obtained from apical 5 and the apical long axis views and stored digitally. Measurements were averaged over three cardiac cycles using VFM software to derive flow patterns, WSS, and EL. Standard left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic functional parameters were also obtained.

Results

A total of 85 subjects, 22 with HCM (age 18 ± 9 yrs.), 18 DCM (age 18 ± 9 yrs.), and 45 age and gender matched controls were included in the study. Diastolic wall shear stress was found significantly different in HCM (0.004 ± 0.185 N/m²) compared with DCM (0.397 ± 0.301 N/m², P < 0.001), and controls (0.175 ± 0.255 N/m², P = 0.027). Furthermore, indexed systolic EL was found to be significantly elevated in HCM (13.91 ± 13.17 mW/m²/m³) compared with DCM (8.17 ± 9.77 mW/m²/m³, P < 0.001), but not controls (6.45 ± 7.47 mW/m²/m³).

Conclusion

Differences in abnormal ventricular mechanics observed in HCM and DCM are reflected in both EL and WSS, and are suggestive that changes in energetic parameters may represent novel indices of ventricular dysfunction.

Project description:BackgroundThe influence of hemodialysis (HD) on hydromechanics of the left ventricle has not been reported. This study evaluated the left ventricular summation of energy loss (EL-SUM), average energy loss (EL-AVE), and wall shear stress (WSS) before and after HD using vector flow mapping (VFM) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).MethodsWe prospectively recruited 40 patients receiving long-term HD and excluded those with structural cardiac disease. Echocardiography was performed before and within 24 hours after HD. Conventional echocardiographic parameters, summation, and average energy loss (EL-SUM, EL-AVE, EL-base, EL-mid and EL-apex), and WSS in each segment were compared.ResultsA total of 40 patients with uremia were recruited. After HD, left ventricular EL-AVE-total, and EL-SUM-total decreased significantly in the early diastolic [29.43 (18.76 to 46.28) vs. 17.70 (10.76 to 95.60) N/(m2·s) and 12 (6 to 17) vs. 5 (3 to 11) e-2 J; P<0.001, respectively], mid-diastolic [17.07 (10.38 to 24.35) vs. 10.29 (5.86 to 16.30) N/(m2·s) and 7 (3 to 10) vs. 4 (2 to 6) e-2 J; P<0.001, respectively], and early systolic [17.82 (12.79 to 24.77) vs.14.90 (10.23 to 19.05) N/(m2·s) P=0.011 and 8 (5 to 11) vs. 5 (4 to 8) e-2 J, P=0.002, respectively] phases. It was revealed that HD did not change EL-AVE-total and EL-SUM-total in the late diastolic and late systolic phases. The EL-AVE decreased after HD in the left ventricular (LV) basal [50.70 (24.19 to 77.92) vs. 26.00 (11.50 to 47.68) N/(m2·s); P<0.001] and mid [15.52 (8.88 to 20.90) vs. 9.47 (6.41 to 14.21) N/(m2·s); P=0.001] segments during the early diastolic phase; in the LV basal [18.64 (10.33 to 29.80) vs. 10.25 (6.98 to 19.43) N/(m2·s); P<0.001), mid (15.70 (9.93 to 23.08) vs. 9.99 (6.03 to 16.25) N/(m2·s); P<0.001), and apical [9.78 (4.06 to 15.77) vs. 4.52 (3.14 to 10.36) N/(m2·s); P=0.001) segments during the mid-diastolic phase; in the LV mid [14.34 (8.34 to 23.88) vs. 9.36 (6.48 to 17.05) N/(m2·s); P=0.013] and apex [11.25 (6.37 to 21.88) vs. 6.60 (5.33 to 12.17) N/(m2·s); P=0.016] segments during the late diastolic phase; and in the apical [10.28 (6.05 to 17.01) vs. 7.59 (3.73 to 13.20) N/(m2·s) P=0.025] segment during the early systolic phase. After HD, WSS significantly reduced in the mid-diastolic [0.51 (0.32 to 0.69) vs. 0.38 (0.30 to 0.46) Pa, P=0.001] and early systolic [0.60 (0.45 to 0.81) vs. 0.57 (0.42 to 0.68) Pa, P=0.029] phases. There was no change in WSS during the early diastolic, late diastolic, and late systolic phases.ConclusionsAfter HD, EL and WSS of LV decrease during the systolic and diastolic phases. The VFM can reflect the LV hemodynamics in patients undergoing HD under different fluid loads.

Project description:BackgroundMaximal left ventricular wall thickness (MLVWT) is a risk factor for sudden cardiac death (SCD) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). In adults, the severity of left ventricular hypertrophy has a nonlinear relationship with SCD, but it is not known whether the same complex relationship is seen in childhood. The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy and SCD risk in a large international pediatric HCM cohort.MethodsThe study cohort comprised 1075 children (mean age, 10.2 years [±4.4]) diagnosed with HCM (1-16 years) from the International Paediatric Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Consortium. Anonymized, noninvasive clinical data were collected from baseline evaluation and follow-up, and 5-year estimated SCD risk was calculated (HCM Risk-Kids).ResultsMLVWT Z score was <10 in 598 (58.1%), ≥10 to <20 in 334 (31.1%), and ≥20 in 143 (13.3%). Higher MLVWT Z scores were associated with heart failure symptoms, unexplained syncope, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, left atrial dilatation, and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. One hundred twenty-two patients (71.3%) with MLVWT Z score ≥20 had coexisting risk factors for SCD. Over a median follow-up of 4.9 years (interquartile range, 2.3-9.3), 115 (10.7%) had an SCD event. Freedom from SCD event at 5 years for those with MLVWT Z scores <10, ≥10 to <20, and ≥20 was 95.6%, 87.4%, and 86.0, respectively. The estimated SCD risk at 5 years had a nonlinear, inverted U-shaped relationship with MLVWT Z score, peaking at Z score +23. The presence of coexisting risk factors had a summative effect on risk.ConclusionsIn children with HCM, an inverted U-shaped relationship exists between left ventricular hypertrophy and estimated SCD risk. The presence of additional risk factors has a summative effect on risk. While MLVWT is important for risk stratification, it should not be used either as a binary variable or in isolation to guide implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation decisions in children with HCM.
