摘要: This study examined the influence of preload alterations on systolic right ventricular (RV) velocities and deformation indices in patients with atrial septal defect (ASD). A total 21 ASD underwent 2-dimensional echocardiography color Doppler myocardial imaging scan before 24 hours after transcatheter closure. The data were compared those obtained from 30 healthy age-matched children. Longitudinal peak velocities, strain rate (SR), end-systolic (e) calculated midsegment RV free wall septum. In ASD, higher recorded, which returned to normal values closure defect. contrast, not different values. These did change significantly We found a decreased function percutaneous may be attributed device within septum, affecting interventricular conclusion, longitudinal influenced by chronic volume overload sudden abolishment this overload. findings suggest that SR/e are relatively load-stable measures contractile clinical setting. clearly load dependent.
