Abstract:Objective: Using single cardiac cycle real-time three dimensional echocardiography(sRT-3DE) combined with conventional two-dimensional(2DE) and Doppler echocardiography to differentiate the subtypes of pulmonary hypertension in left ventricular failure(LVF) with reduced ejective fraction(EF). Methods: In the case group, 60 patients with LVEF<50% measured by sRT-3DE were divided into three subgroups by sPAP and PVR: 15 patients in LVF-NPH group, 15 patients in LVF-PPH group and 30 patients in LVF-RPH group; 35 healthy people were selected as control group. The 2DE and sRT-3DE were performed in all groups to analyze the 2DE, 3DE and Doppler parameters, and the correlation analysis were performed. Results: ①Compared with the control group, the right ventricular EDVI, ESVI increased and LVEF, RVEF decreased in LVF-NPH group; Compared with LVF-NPH group, right ventricular ESVI increased and LVEF decreased in LVF-PPH group; Compared with the LVF-PPH group, the right ventricular EDVI, ESVI increased and LVEF, RVEF decreased in LVF-RPH group(P<0.05). ②There was significant correlation between PVR and sPAP. The correlations of PVR with RVEF, RVFAC and TAPSE were better than those of sPAP, but the correlations of PVR with RVEDV and RVESV were worse than those of sPAP. ③The AUCs of ROC curve of RVEDVI, RVESVI and RVEF to differentiate RPH were 0.732, 0.844 and 0.904, respectively, which indicated excellent sensitivity and specificity. Conclusion: sRT-3DE combined with the traditional 2DE and Doppler echocardiography can accurately assess the state of the right ventricular structure and function and differentiate the subtypes of PH in patients with LVF.
