Echocardiographic Left Ventricular Mass Estimation: Two-Dimensional Area-Length Method is Superior to M-Mode Linear Method in Swine Models of Cardiac Diseases.

ABSTRACT: Echocardiography offers rapid and cost-effective estimations of left ventricular (LV) mass, but its accuracy in patients with cardiac disease remains unclear. LV mass was measured by M-mode-based linear method and two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE)-based area-length method in pig models and correlation with actual LV weight was assessed. Twenty-six normal, 195 ischemic heart disease (IHD), and 33 non-IHD HF pigs were included. A strong positive linear relationship to the actual LV weight was found with 2DE-based area-length method (r = 0.82, p < 0.001), whereas a moderate relationship was found with M-mode method in the overall population (r = 0.68, p < 0.001). Two correlation coefficients were significantly different (p < 0.001), and were driven mainly by incremental overestimation of LV mass in heavier hearts using the M-mode method. IHD and LV dilation were the factors contributing to overestimation using M-mode method. 2DE-based area-length method provides a better estimation of LV weight in swine models of HF, particularly in those with IHD.

Project description:AimsThis study aimed to evaluate a novel echocardiographic algorithm for quantitative estimation of pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in patients with heart failure and pulmonary hypertension (PH) scheduled to right heart catheterization (RHC).Methods and resultsIn this monocentric study, 795 consecutive patients (427 men; age 68.4 ± 12.1 years) undergoing echocardiography and RHC were evaluated. Multiple regression analysis was performed to identify echocardiographic predictors of PAWP and PVR measured by RHC in the derivation group (the first 200 patients). The diagnostic accuracy of the model was then tested in the validation group (the remaining 595 patients). PH was confirmed by RHC in 507 (63.8%) patients, with 192 (24.2%) cases of precapillary PH, 248 (31.2%) of postcapillary PH, and 67 (8.4%) of combined PH. At regression analysis, tricuspid regurgitation maximal velocity, mitral E/e' ratio, left ventricular ejection fraction, right ventricular fractional area change, inferior vena cava diameter, and left atrial volume index were included in the model (R = 0.8, P < 0.001). The model showed a high diagnostic accuracy in estimating elevated PAWP (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.97, 92% sensitivity, and 93% specificity, P < 0.001) and PVR (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.96, 89% sensitivity, and 92% specificity, P < 0.001), outperforming 2016 American Society of Echocardiography/European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging recommendations (P < 0.001) and Abbas' equation (P < 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis showed satisfactory limits of agreement between echocardiography and RHC for PAWP (bias 0.7, 95% confidence interval -7.3 to 8.7) and PVR (bias -0.1, 95% confidence interval -2.2 to 1.9 Wood units), without indeterminate cases.ConclusionsA novel quantitative echocardiographic approach for the estimation of PAWP and PVR has high diagnostic accuracy in patients with heart failure and PH.
