“…Real-time 3D echocardiography (RT-3DE) and speckle tracking imaging (STI) are new modalities that have recently been introduced into clinical practice (8). RT-3DE does not assume the chamber geometry, can visually display the cardiac space structure and ventricular wall motion, and can provide direct measurement of the cardiac capacity and function (9,10). STI can be used to quantify all aspects of myocardial strain related to myocardial deformation and contractile function by measuring the displacement between 2 different points in a myocardial segment (11).…”

Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a multifactorial disease contributed to by several pathological factors. It is characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction, and patients with TTS can spontaneously recover within days or weeks. This study's objective was to investigate the ultrasonic characteristics of TTS during different periods and assess the clinical application value of real-time 3-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) and speckle tracking imaging (STI) in TTS.Methods: In this prospective cohort study, the patients with apical TTS were evaluated by echocardiography on admission (within 1-3 days) and after 4 and 8 weeks. RT-3DE was performed to observe the structure and function of the left ventricle (LV). LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), end-systolic volume (LVESV), stroke volume (LVSV), and ejection fraction (LVEF) were calculated. The longitudinal peak systolic strain (LPSS) of all LV myocardial segments was acquired by 2D STI. For comparison, 20 healthy individuals were included as normal controls.Results: A total of 16 patients with TTS were included. Their LV was characterized as an "octopus pot" in morphology with obvious hypokinesis on admission.

“…It has low sensitivity for local myocardial damage ( 13 ), does not accurately reflect left ventricular myocardium function ( 14 , 15 ), and cannot detect early myocardial dysfunction ( 16 ). Myocardial strain has greater sensitivity and accuracy for cardiac function and can assess the degree of myocardial deformation during the cardiac cycle, detect early left ventricular myocardial changes, and predict LVEF changes ( 17 – 19 ).…”

AimsUsing speckle tracking technology to investigate the effect of hypertriglyceridemia on the global longitudinal strain(GLS) of the left ventricle in patients with coronary heart disease in the early stage, and to explore the value of myocardial strain in early identification of cardiac dysfunction in patients with coronary heart disease in the pre-heart failure stage.MethodsA cross-sectional study of 138 participants was conducted in Jilin Province, China. Basic clinical, biochemical, and echocardiographic data were obtained for all patients. Myocardial strain parameters were compared between the hypertriglyceridemia and normal triglyceride level groups and the effect of hypertriglyceridemia on early left ventricular global longitudinal strain impairment in coronary heart disease patients was evaluated.ResultsThe overall longitudinal strain of the left ventricle was smaller in the hypertriglyceridemia group than in the normal triglyceride group. After the multivariate Logistic regression model adjusting for the influence of confounding factors, the results remained stable.ConclusionsThe risk of impairment of global longitudinal strain of the left ventricle in patients with coronary heart disease is positively correlated with triglyceride levels, and hypertriglyceridemia maybe an independent risk factor affecting early cardiac dysfunction in the pre-heart failure stage of patients with coronary heart disease.

“…8 The presence of LVH is linked with an elevated risk of cardiac events and mortality, while the absence of LVH is linked to a decrease in cardiovascular (CVS) disease and mortality. 9,10 Patients with CKD are more likely to suffer from an acute cardiac event. In these patients, LVH is a prevalent condition that results in considerable morbidity and mortality.…”

Objective: To ascertain the effect of duration of hemodialysis on left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with chronic kidney disease. Design: It was a cross sectional observational study. Study Settings: Department of Cardiology, Shaikh Zayed Hospital Lahore over a period of 6 months from January 2021 to June 2021. Material and Methods: This study was conducted, between February and September 2021, by recruiting 200 patients undergoing hemodialysis. Demographic and clinical data were recorded. Blood samples were taken for investigation. Body surface area was calculated using Du Bois Formula. To calculate LVM, Echocardiography (Echo) was done by using 2D M-mode in the standard manner. At the end of data collection, data was entered and analyzed using SPSS v.21. Single and multiple linear regression analysis were used to calculate impact of duration and other confounding variable on LVM. Results: The mean age of the participants was 46.77±13.263. About 58.5% (117) were males and 41.5% (83) were females. Prevalence of LVH was 171(85.5%). The mean LVM for males and females was 248.44±26.67g and 182.88±22.43g respectively. Most of the participants (47.0%) were receiving HD for 25-36 months followed by 26.0%, 15.0%, 12.0% for 13-24 months, 3-12 months,37-48 months respectively. LVH was found to be strongly positively correlated with duration of dialysis. Increasing duration of HD was associated with an increased likelihood of exhibiting LVH. Conclusion: The study concluded that there exist significantly strong relationship between increased duration of hemodialysis in CKD patients with frequency of left ventricular hypertrophy. So, in future practice it is recommended to focus on CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis with regard to duration of hemodialysis and expected frequency of left ventricular hypertrophy and its timely management. Keywords: Chronic kidney disease, Left ventricular hypertrophy, Left ventricular mass index, Haemodialysis.
