目的 探讨基于CT获得的心肌应变(MS)参数在评估肥厚型心肌病(HCM)和高血压性心脏病(HHD)早期左室功能的可行性,以及该参数区分这两种疾病的能力.方法 本研究为回顾性研究,纳入2021年12月~2023年1月在空军军医大学西京医院接受心脏冠状动脉血管成像检查,结果呈阴性的205例成年受试者.依据各组纳入及排除标准将受试者分为HCM组(n= 70)、HHD组(n=65)和健康对照组(n=70).采用后处理软件对3组的左室形态学特征、传统心功能参数以及MS参数进行了量化,比较参数的差异,以及对这两种疾病的鉴别能力.结果 相较于健康对照组,HCM与HHD组的左室壁最大厚度、左室质量指数均有不同程度增高(9.25±1.68 vs 15.32±1.67 vs 18.01±2.24;56.64±19.57 vs 86.90±12.31 vs 106.27±19.56,P<0.001),而MS绝对值则均有不同程度降低(心肌整体周向应变,-25.80±3.74 vs-23.00±4.49 vs-21.03±4.97;心内膜下整体周向应变,-40.95±8.13 vs-35.86±7.90 vs-31.85±9.16;心肌整体径向应变,81.26±37.76 vs 66.99±18.37 vs 55.31±23.19,P<0.001),其中以纵向应变降低最为显著(心肌整体纵向应变,-23.03±3.84 vs-19.86±2.22 vs-15.47±4.28;心内膜下整体纵向应变,-30.35±5.35 vs-25.01±3.62 vs-21.92±8.16,P<0.001).多元Logistic回归分析结果显示左室壁最大厚度、左室质量指数和心肌整体纵向应变组合模型的ROC曲线下面积最大,为0.930(敏感度为97%,特异性为83%).结论 基于CT所获得的MS参数可以用于精确评估HCM和HHD患者的早期左室功能损伤,其中以纵向应变的损伤最为显著.所得参数中左室壁最大厚度、左室质量指数和心肌整体纵向应变的组合模型在区分这两种疾病时效果最佳.
Objective To explore the feasibility of myocardial strain(MS)parameters obtained through CT technology for assessing early left ventricular function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM)and hypertensive heart disease(HHD),as well as the capability of this parameter to differentiate between these two diseases,providing clinical reference.Methods This study was a retrospective analysis involving 205 adult participants with negative results from cardiac coronary imaging examinations conducted at the Xijing Hospital of Air Force Medical University from December 2021 to January 2023.Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria,the participants were categorized into three groups:HCM(n=70),HHD(n=65),and healthy control group(n=70).Subsequently,post-processing software was utilized to quantify left ventricular morphological characteristics,traditional cardiac function parameters,and MS parameters among the three groups.The differences in these parameters were compared and their discriminative abilities between the two diseases were assessed.Results Compared to the healthy control group,both the HCM and HHD groups exhibited increased maximal left ventricular wall thickness and left ventricular mass index(9.25±1.68 vs 15.32±1.67 vs 18.01±2.24;56.64±19.57 vs 86.90±12.31 vs 106.27±19.56,respectively,P<0.001).Meanwhile,the absolute values of MS were reduced in both groups(myocardial global circumferential strain:-25.80±3.74 vs-23.00±4.49 vs-21.03±4.97;endocardial global circumferential strain:-40.95±8.13 vs-35.86±7.90 vs-31.85±9.16;myocardial global radial strain:81.26±37.76 vs 66.99±18.37 vs 55.31±23.19,P<0.001),with the longitudinal strain showing the most significant decrease(myocardial global longitudinal strain:-23.03±3.84 vs-19.86±2.22 vs-15.47±4.28;endocardial global longitudinal strain:-30.35±5.35 vs-25.01±3.62 vs 21.92±8.16,P<0.001).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that the combination model of maximal left ventricular wall thickness,left ventricular mass index,and myocardial global longitudinal strain had the largest area under the ROC curve of 0.930(sensitivity:97%,specificity:83%).Conclusion The MS parameters obtained from CT imaging can accurately assess early left ventricular functional impairment in patients with HCM and HHD,with longitudinal strain showing the most significant impairment.Among the parameters obtained,the combination model of maximal left ventricular wall thickness,left ventricular mass index,and myocardial global longitudinal strain demonstrated the best effectiveness in distinguishing between these two diseases.These discoveries hold promise for providing more accurate diagnostic and therapeutic guidance in clinical practice.
