CHILDREN (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 10:children10010113. [PMID: 36670663 PMCID: PMC9856918 DOI: 10.3390/children10010113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
(1) Background: In propionic acidemia (PA), myocardial involvement often leads to progressive cardiac dysfunction of the left ventricle (LV). Cardiomyopathy (CM) is an important contributor to mortality. Although known to be of prognostic value in CM, there are no published data on right ventricular (RV) function in PA patients. (2) Methods: In this cross-sectional single-center study, systolic and diastolic RV function of PA patients was assessed by echocardiography, including frequency, onset, and combinations of echocardiographic parameters, as well as correlations to LV size and function. (3) Results: N = 18 patients were enrolled. Tricuspid annulus S' was abnormal in 16.7%, RV-longitudinal strain in 11.1%, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) in 11.1%, Tricuspid valve (TV) E/e' in 33.3%, and TV E/A in 16.7%. The most prevalent combinations of pathological parameters were TV E/A + TV E/e' and TAPSE + TV S'. With age, the probability of developing abnormal RV function increases according to age-dependent normative data. There is a significant correlation between TAPSE and mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE), and RV/LV-longitudinal strain (p ≤ 0.05). N = 5 individuals died 1.94 years (mean) after cardiac evaluation for this study, and all had abnormal RV functional parameters. (4) Conclusions: Signs of diastolic RV dysfunction can be found in up to one third of individuals, and systolic RV dysfunction in 16.7% of individuals in our cohort. RV function is impaired in PA patients with a poor outcome. RV functional parameters should be used to complement clinical and left ventricular echocardiographic findings.

Interchangeability of right ventricular longitudinal shortening fraction assessed by transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography in the perioperative setting: A prospective study. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:1074956. [PMID: 36620637 PMCID: PMC9816801 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1074956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Conventional transthoracic (TTE) and transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) parameters assessing right ventricle (RV) systolic function are daily used assuming their clinical interchangeability. RV longitudinal shortening fraction (RV-LSF) is a two-dimensional speckle tracking parameter used to assess RV systolic function. RV-LSF is based on tricuspid annular displacement analysis and could be measured with TTE or TEE. Objective The aim of the study was to determine if RV-LSFTTE and RV-LSFTEE measurements were interchangeable in the perioperative setting. Methods Prospective perioperative TTE and TEE echocardiography were performed under general anesthesia during scheduled cardiac surgery in 90 patients. RV-LSF was measured by semi-automatic software. Comparisons were performed using Pearson correlation and Bland-Altman plots. RV-LSF clinical agreement was determined as a range of -5 to 5%. Results Of the 114 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 90 were included. The mean preoperative RV-LSFTTE was 20.4 ± 4.3 and 21.1 ± 4.1% for RV-LSFTEE. The agreement between RV-LSF measurements was excellent, with a bias at -0.61 and limits of agreement of -4.18 to 2.97 %. All measurements fell within the determined clinical agreement interval in the Bland-Altman plot. Linear regression analysis showed a high correlation between RV-LSFTTE and RV-LSFTEE measurement (r = 0.9; confidence interval [CI] 95%: [0.87-0.94], p < 0.001). Conclusion RV-LSFTTE and RV-LSFTEE measurements are interchangeable, allowing RV-LSF to be a helpful parameter for assessing perioperative changes in RV systolic function.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Right ventricular dysfunction has an important impact on the perioperative course of cardiac surgery patients. Recent advances in the detection and monitoring of perioperative right ventricular dysfunction will be reviewed here. RECENT FINDINGS The incidence of right ventricular dysfunction in cardiac surgery has been associated with unfavorable outcomes. New evidence supports the use of a pulmonary artery catheter in cardiogenic shock. The possibility to directly measure right ventricular pressure by transducing the pacing port has expanded its use to track changes in right ventricular function and to detect right ventricular outflow tract obstruction. The potential role of myocardial deformation imaging has been raised to detect patients at risk of postoperative complications. SUMMARY Perioperative right ventricular function monitoring is based on echocardiographic and extra-cardiac flow evaluation. In addition to imaging modalities, hemodynamic evaluation using various types of pulmonary artery catheters can be achieved to track changes rapidly and quantitatively in right ventricular function perioperatively. These monitoring techniques can be applied during and after surgery to increase the detection rate of right ventricular dysfunction. All this to improve the treatment of patients presenting early signs of right ventricular dysfunction before systemic organ dysfunction ensue.

Abstract
Objective To compare two-dimensional–speckle tracking echocardiographic parameters (2D-STE) and classic echocardiographic parameters of right ventricular (RV) systolic function in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)–related acute respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS) complicated or not by acute cor pulmonale (ACP). Design Prospective, between March 1, 2020 and April 15, 2020. Setting Intensive care unit of Amiens University Hospital (France). Participants Adult patients with moderate-to-severe CARDS under mechanical ventilation for fewer than 24 hours. Interventions None. Measurements and Main Results Tricuspid annular displacement (TAD) parameters (TAD-septal, TAD-lateral, and RV longitudinal shortening fraction [RV-LSF]), RV global longitudinal strain (RV-GLS), and RV free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS) were measured using transesophageal echocardiography with a dedicated software and compared with classic RV systolic parameters (RV-FAC, S′ wave, and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion [TAPSE]). RV systolic dysfunction was defined as RV-FAC <35%. Twenty-nine consecutive patients with moderate-to-severe CARDS were included. ACP was diagnosed in 12 patients (41%). 2D-STE parameters were markedly altered in the ACP group, and no significant difference was found between patients with and without ACP for classic RV parameters (RV-FAC, S′ wave, and TAPSE). In the ACP group, RV-LSF (17% [14%-22%]) had the best correlation with RV-FAC (r = 0.79, p < 0.001 v r = 0.27, p = 0.39 for RVGLS and r = 0.28, p = 0.39 for RVFWLS). A RV-LSF cut-off value of 17% had a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 86% to identify RV systolic dysfunction. Conclusions Classic RV function parameters were not altered by ACP in patients with CARDS, contrary to 2D-STE parameters. RV-LSF seems to be a valuable parameter to detect early RV systolic dysfunction in CARDS patients with ACP.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Right heart failure (RHF) following left ventricular assist device implantation (LVAD) remains the primary cause of postoperative mortality and morbidity, and prediction of RHF is the main interest of the transplantation community. In this review, we outline the role and impact of right ventricular strain in the evaluation of the right ventricle function before LVAD implantation. RECENT FINDINGS Accumulating data suggest that measurement of right ventricular longitudinal strain (RVLS) has a critical role in predicting RHF preoperatively and may improve morbidity and mortality following LVAD implantation. However, the significant intraobserver, interobserver variability, the lack of multicenter, prospective studies, and the need for a learning curve remain the most critical limitations in the clinical practice at present. This review highlighted the importance of right ventricular strain in the diagnosis of RHF preoperatively and revealed that RVLS might have a crucial clinical measurement for the selection and management of LVAD patients in the future with the more extensive multicenter studies.
