Hemodynamics and Clinical Implications of Occult Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Adults Undergoing Ebstein Anomaly Repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) can detect early phases of LV systolic dysfunction, but its application has not been studied in Ebstein anomaly. We hypothesized that LVGLS can detect early phases of LV systolic dysfunction and that patients with occult LV systolic dysfunction will have worse hemodynamics, end-organ dysfunction, and suboptimal postoperative LV reverse remodeling after tricuspid valve surgery in comparison to patients with normal LV systolic function.

Methods

In this retrospective cohort study, 371 Ebstein patients that underwent tricuspid valve surgery were divided into 3 groups: normal LV systolic function (normal LVGLS and LV ejection fraction; n=244, 77%), occult LV systolic dysfunction (abnormal LVGLS with normal LV ejection
