Relationship between the severity of mitral regurgitation, left ventricular dysfunction and plasma brain natriuretic peptide level: An observational strain imaging study
Amaç: Bu çalışmada mitral yetersizliği ve strain/strain rate (S/SR) ekokardiyografi ile tespit edilen sol ventrikül disfonksiyonunun derecesi ile plazma beyin natriüretik peptid seviyesi arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve yöntem: Mevcut çalışma kesitsel, gözlemsel bir çalışmadır. Bu çalışmaya polikliniğimize başvurmuş olan ardışık 31 mitral yetersizliği hastası (15’i [%48,4] erkek) ve kontrol grubu olarak 25 sağlıklı birey (12’si [%48,0] erkek) alınmıştır. Hastalar orta derecede mitral yetmezliği olanlar (n=14 [%45,2] ve ileri derecede mitral yetmezliği olanlar (n=17 [%54,8] olarak iki gruba ayrılmışlar ve üç grupta sol ventrikül duvar segmentlerinin maksimum strain / strain rate ölçümleri kaydedilmiş, plazma beyin natriüretik peptit seviyeleri ölçülmüştür. Bulgular: İleri MY olan hastalarda orta MY ve kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında ileri MY grubunda sol ventrikül segment S/SR değerlerinde daha belirgin azalma izlendi (p
Mitral yetersizliği şiddeti, sol ventrikül fonksiyon bozukluğu ve plazma beyin natriüretik peptit düzeyi arasındaki ilişki: Bir gözlemsel strain görüntüleme çalışması
Objectives: The aim of the this study was to investigatethe relationship between the degree of mitral regurgitation (MR), left ventricular (LV) dysfunction determined bystrain (S)/strain rate (SR) imaging and plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels.Materials and methods: This is an observational cross- sectional study which included 31 consecutive patients (15[48.4%] male) who had applied to our outpatient clin- ics and diagnosed as mitral regurgitation and 25 (12 [48.0%] male) healthy persons as control subjects. The mitral regurgitation patients were divided into two groups: those with moderate MR (n=14[45.2%]) and those with severe MR (n=17[54.8%]), and maximum strain / strain rate measurements of left ventricular wall segments and plasma brain natriuretic peptide levels were determined in these two groups and controls. Results: S/SR values of all wall segments of left ventricle were found to be decreased in patient with severe MR when compared with the control subjects and patients with moderate MR (p
