Background
Rheumatic mitral stenosis(RMS) may leads to left ventricular remodeling (LVR), which can persist even after valve surgery. Identifying markers for early structure and function in patients with rheumatic heart disease who are at risk for adverse LVR after surgery can help determine the optimal timing of intervention. This study aimed to investigate whether preoperative parameters of global left ventricular long-axis strain (LVGLS) and mechanical discretization (MD) could predict postoperative adverse LVR.
Methods
A total of 109 adult patients with RMS and 50 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Baseline clinical features, conventional echocardiography results, LVGLS, and MD were compared between the two groups. Pre- and post-surgery echocardiography measurements were collected, and adverse LVR was defined as a>15% increase in left ventricular end-diastolic volume or >10% decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction. Binary regression analysis was used to determine independent predictors of poor left ventricular remodeling.
Results
The variables associated with adverse LVR in this study were LVGLS (P<0.001, odds ratio: 1.996, 95% CI: 1.394–2.856) and MD (P=0.011, odds ratio: 1.031, 95% CI: 1.007–1.055). The poorly reconstructed group had lower absolute values of LVGLS and higher MD than the healthy control group and the non-poorly reconstructed group. A LVGLS cutoff of −15.0% was the best predictor for patients with poorly reconstructed LVR (sensitivity: 75.7%; specificity: 100.0%; AUC: 0.93), and a MD cutoff of 63.8ms was the best predictor (sensitivity: 63.8%; specificity: 98.6%; AUC: 0.88).
Conclusion
Speckle tracking echocardiography has potential value for predicting the progression of adverse LVR and for identifying non-responders among patients with RMS undergoing surgery.

“…Post intervention LV dysfunction is estimated to be seen in 16.8% of patients (26). Hence, prediction of improvement in LV function is important in prognostication of patients.…”
Section: Predictors Of Improvement In LV Functionmentioning
Objective: Patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis, despite having normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF), have ventricular dysfunction in the form of impaired longitudinal excursion. Tissue Doppler velocity is a useful indicator for assessment of long-axis ventricular shortening and lengthening. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) on LV function in rheumatic MS and to study echocardiographic parameters with M-Mode and Tissue Doppler Imaging pre PBMV, post PBMV and on follow-up to determine predictors of LV function. Methods: We analysed 52 patients with severe mitral stenosis with normal LV EF, who underwent PBMV at our institute. Baseline parameters of LV function were compared with immediate post PBMV and at three months follow up.
Results:The mean age of the patients was 33.73 (10.87) years with female preponderance. The mean mitral valve area before PBMV was 0.92 (0.13) cm 2 which increased to 1.65 (0.21) cm 2 after PBMV and at 3 month it was 1.61 (0.23) cm 2 (p<0.001). LVEF before PBMV by modified Simpson's method was 55.45 (8.44)% and after PBMV, it was 55. 58 (3.46)% and at 3 month it was 56.62 (2.46)% (p>0.05). Mitral valve E' was 8.71 (1.54) cm/s which increased to 10.13 (1.68) cm/s post PBMV and at 3 month it was 10.83 (1.34) cm/s (p<0.001).. Mitral annular systolic velocity (MASV), before PBMV was 7.90 (0.96) cm/s which increased to 9.31 (1.68) cm/s after PBMV and at 3 month it was 10.13 (0.96) cm/s (p<0.001). Myocardial performance index (MPI) before PBMV was 0.54 (0.48) which decreased post PBMV to 0.47 (0.06) and at 3 month it was 0.38 (0.04) (p=0.01). Pre PBMV MPI value <0.48 predicted improvement in LV function (sensitivity: 81%, specificity: 58.1%). Conclusion: Thus, PBMV leads to improvement in LV function in patients with severe MS with normal LV EF.
