Feasibility of Echocardiography Combined with TDI in Assessing Cardiac Function in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Objective:To analyze the feasibility of echocardiography combined with tissue Doppler imaging(TDI)in assessing cardiac function in peritoneal dialysis patients.Methods:A total of 60 patients with peritoneal dialy-sis(PD)who were treated in our hospital from October 2021 to October 2023 were selected,and were examined by e-chocardiography combined with TDI before and after PD to assess left ventricular function in both groups[left ventricu-lar posterior wall thickness at end-diastole(LVPWTd),interventricular septum at end-diastole(IVSTd),left ventricular diameter at end-systole(LVDs),left ventricular diameter at end-diastole(LVDd),left atrial diameter(LAD),left ven-tricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV),left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV),left ventricular shortening rate(FS),stroke volume(SV)].Results:After treatment,the LVPWTd,IVSTd,LVDs,LVDd,LAD,LVEDV,LVESV,FS and SV of patients were higher than those before treatment,while LVEF was lower than that before treatment(P<0.05);The incidence of cardiovascular adverse events was 21.67%(13/60).Spear-man correlation analysis showed that LVEF and SV were associated with the incidence of cardiovascular adverse events in peritoneal dialysis patients(P<0.05).Conclusion:Echocardiography combined with TDI can provide useful informa-tion for the evaluation of cardiac function in peritoneal dialysis patients,help to understand their cardiovascular status more comprehensively and reduce the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events.
