چکیده

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of alterations in preload induced by lower body negative pressure on Doppler transmitral filling patterns. Echocardiograms and Doppler recordings were performed in 18 normal young men (aged 23 to 32 years) during various levels of lower body negative pressure (0, -20 and -50 mm Hg). Lower body negative pressure induced a reduction in diastolic velocity integral (from 12.17 +/- 0.79 to 8.42 +/- 0.71 cm, p = 0.0067) and consequently left ventricular diastolic diameter (from 5.11 +/- 0.09 to 4.45 +/- 0.1 cm, p less than 0.0001). There was a significant reflex increase in heart rate from 59.9 +/- 1.9 to 77.1 +/- 2.4 beats/min (p less than 0.0001), but blood pressure was unchanged. This reduction in preload altered Doppler transmittral filling patterns as follows: 1) peak early velocity (E) decreased from 59.2 +/- 3.8 to 39.1 +/- 1.7 cm/s (p less than 0.0001); 2) atrial filing velocity (A) was unchanged (35.58 +/- 1.5 to 33.52 +/- 1.4 cm/s, p = 0.517); 3) E/A ratio decreased from 1.7 +/- 0.13 to 1.19 +/- 0.08 (p = 0.0087); 4) mean acceleration (from 482 +/- 37 to 390 +/- 27 cm/s2, p = 0.03) and mean deceleration (from 327 +/- 31 to 169 +/- 21 cm/s2, p less than 0.001) of the early filling wave were significantly reduced; and 5) peak acceleration (from 907 +/- 42 to 829 +/- 29 cm/s2) and peak deceleration (from 771 +/- 94 to 547 +/- 76 cm/s2) also decreased, but not significantly.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Increased LV apical untwist during preload reduction in healthy humans: an echocardiographic speckle tracking study during lower body negative pressure

We sought to investigate the effect of reduced preload on left ventricle (LV) untwist and early diastolic filling in healthy individuals. Twelve healthy men, 22 (22, 23) years of age, were examined at rest and during applied lower body negative pressure (LBNP) of -20 mmHg and -40 mmHg, respectively. Regional untwist and untwist rate during IVRT were calculated at LV basal, papillary, subpapilla...

CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE Is Doppler tissue velocity during early left ventricular filling preload independent?

Background: Transmitral Doppler flow indices are used to evaluate diastolic function. Recently, velocities measured by Doppler tissue imaging have been used as an index of left ventricular relaxation. Objective: To determine whether Doppler tissue velocities are influenced by alterations in preload. Methods: Left ventricular preload was altered in 17 patients (all men, mean (SD) age, 49 (8) yea...

CARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE Left ventricular diastolic function assessed using Doppler tissue imaging in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: relation to symptoms and exercise capacity

Background: Conventional Doppler indices of left ventricular diastolic function do not correlate with symptoms or exercise capacity in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, because of their dependence on loading conditions. Diastolic mitral annular velocity measured using Doppler tissue imaging has been reported to be a preload independent index of left ventricular diastolic function. Obje...
