Left atrial phasic echocardiographic functional analysis in relation to diastolic left ventricular hemodynamic parameters acquired during right heart catheterization.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Doppler echocardiography has become the leading non-invasive tool for hemodynamic screening and follow-up in various clinical situations. Our objective was to assess whether left atrium (LA) functional echocardiographic parameters correlate with hemodynamic left ventricle (LV) filling parameters measured during right heart catheterization (RHC) in various disease states.

Methods

Echocardiographic examinations of 71 consecutive patients that had RHC within 24 h were studied retrospectively using LA/LV feature tracking analysis. Echocardiographic and myocardial mechanics characteristics were then correlated with the RHC findings.

Results

The best correlation were demonstrated between the trans-tricuspid gradient in the echocardiogram and the right ve
