A novel clinical method for quantification of regional left ventricular pressure–strain loop area: a non-invasive index of myocardial work

Open access

Abstract

AIMS: Left ventricular (LV) pressure-strain loop area reflects regional myocardial work and metabolic demand, but the clinical use of this index is limited by the need for invasive pressure. In this study, we introduce a non-invasive method to measure LV pressure-strain loop area. METHODS AND RESULTS: Left ventricular pressure was estimated by utilizing the profile of an empiric, normalized reference curve which was adjusted according to the duration of LV isovolumic and ejection phases, as defined by timing of aortic and mitral valve events by echocardiography. Absolute LV systolic pressure was set equal to arterial pressure measured invasively in dogs (n = 12) and non-invasively in patients (n = 18). In six patients, myocardial glucose metabolism was measured by positron emission tomography (PET). First, we studied anaesthetized dogs and observed an excellent correlation (r = 0.96) and a good agreement between estimated LV pressure-strain loop area and loop area by LV micromanometer and sonomicrometry. Secondly, we validated the method in patients with various cardiac disorders, including LV dyssynchrony, and confirmed an excellent correlation (r = 0.99) and a good agreement between pressure-strain loop areas using non-invasive and invasive LV pressure. Non-invasive pressure-strain loop area reflected work when incorporating changes in local LV geometry (r = 0.97) and showed a strong correlation with regional myocardial glucose metabolism by PET (r = 0.81). CONCLUSIONS: The novel non-invasive method for regional LV pressure-strain loop area corresponded well with invasive measurements and with directly measured myocardial work and it reflected myocardial metabolism. This method for assessment of regional work may be of clinical interest for several patients groups, including LV dyssynchrony and ischaemia.

  • RV myocardial work indices have shown an important correlation with invasive indices of RV systolic function and prognostic value, especially in patients with pulmonary hypertension.

    “Although RV MW indices have shown an important correlation with invasive indices of RV systolic function and prognostic value, especially in patients with pulmonary hypertension [28,33], their role in TOF still needs to be investigated.”

    From Multimodality imaging assessment of tetralogy of Fallot: From diagnosis to long-term follow-up (2023) · cites this paper as [28]

    The Methods and results passage reports correlation between non-invasive and invasive measurements of left ventricular pressure–strain loop area, not right ventricular systolic function. The Clinical study and Conclusions passages likewise concern the left ventricle; searches for right ventricular myocardial work, pulmonary hypertension, and prognostic value found no passage addressing the attributed claim. Page numbers were not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)

  • RV free-wall and global longitudinal strain showed less load dependency compared with conventional indices, but are still affected by pulmonary pressures and therefore RV afterload.

    “Regarding RV systolic function, even though RV free-wall and GLS showed less load dependency compared with conventional indices, they are still affected by pulmonary pressures and therefore RV afterload [28].”

    From Multimodality imaging assessment of tetralogy of Fallot: From diagnosis to long-term follow-up (2023) · cites this paper as [28]

    The Introduction and Discussion address left ventricular strain and pressure–strain loop area, not right ventricular free-wall or global longitudinal strain. A search for RV strain, load dependency, pulmonary pressures, and RV afterload found no passage in our copy addressing the attributed comparison or afterload effect.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
