Staging Classification

Abstract Aims Cardiac damage in severe aortic stenosis (AS) can be classified according to a recently proposed staging classification. The present study investigated the incremental prognostic value of left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) over stages of cardiac damage in patients with severe AS. Methods and results From an ongoing registry, a total of 616 severe symptomatic AS patients with available LV GLS by speckle tracking echocardiography were selected and retrospectively analysed. Patients were categorized according to cardiac damage on echocardiography: Stage 0 (no damage), Stage 1 (LV damage), Stage 2 (mitral valve or left atrial damage), Stage 3 (tricuspid valve or pulmonary artery vasculature damage), or Stage 4 (right ventricular damage). LV GLS was divided by quintiles and assigned to the different stages. The endpoint was all-cause mortality. Over a median follow-up of 44 [24–89] months, 234 (38%) patients died. LV GLS was associated with all-cause mortality independent of stage of cardiac damage. After incorporation of LV GLS by quintiles into the staging classification, Stages 2–4 were independently associated with outcome. LV GLS showed incremental prognostic value over clinical characteristics and stages of cardiac damage. Conclusion In this large single-centre cohort of severe AS patients, incorporation of LV GLS by quintiles in a novel proposed staging classification resulted in refinement of risk stratification by identifying patients with more advanced cardiac damage. LV GLS was shown to provide incremental prognostic value over the originally proposed staging classification.

Study Population

BACKGROUND Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common, single, native valvular heart disease in adult population. The purpose of this study was to detect abnormalities in global longitudinal strain (GLS) and strain rate using 2D - STI in patients with severe AS and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The effect of aortic valve replacement (AVR) on changes in strain parameters 30 days after surgery was also analysed. METHODS A total number of 60 patients aged more than 18 years with aortic valve disease scheduled for surgical aortic valve replacement admitted in Department of Cardiology, KMC hospital Mangalore, were included over a period of 18 months from January 2017 to June 2018. RESULTS A total of 60 patients with severe AS, defined by an aortic valve area of < 1 cm², mean transaortic pressure gradient ( P) of > 40 mmHg and maximum aortic velocity (Vmax) of > 4 m/sec were studied. Mean age of the study population was 63.5 years. 60 % of the population were males and 40 % being females. Most common risk factor present in the study population was diabetes mellitus (DM). 83% of the patients in the study population had at least one symptom. Most common symptom with which the patients presented was exertional dyspnoea. All patients had normal left ventricle (LV) cavity dimensions and LVEF prior to surgery with diastolic dysfunction being present in all patients. The LV ejection fraction is not significantly altered. The aortic valve area calculated by continuity equation has significantly increased post AVR with a significant reduction in transaortic peak and means pressure gradients. Mean global longitudinal strain (GLS) improved from -15.1 % to - 16.9 % (P < 0.001) and longitudinal strain rate improved from -0.8 to -0.9/s (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Global longitudinal strain and strain rate can be adequately measured by 2D speckle-tracking imaging and can be used to detect subtle changes of myocardial function in patients with severe AS with preserved LVEF.

Lv Function

Background: Both Left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) and LV ejection fraction (LVEF) are useful parameters for assessment of LV function. The aim of this study is to confirm the prognostic value of them in patients with non-ischemic and ischemic heart disease. Methods: We studied 179 patients (DCM group: Age 61±15 years, 70 females, LVEF 33±9%) with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure symptom, and 97 patients (MI group: Age 66±13 years, 18 females, LVEF 45±7%) who were successfully treated with percutaneous coronary intervention for acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction. Echocardiography was used for LV GLS derived from 2D speckle-tracking method and LVEF with modified Simpson’s method. Outcome was assessed according to death and re-hospitalization with heart failure in the follow-up period. Results: 40 patients in DCM group and 10 patients in MI group experienced at least one event. In these 2 groups, significant differences in GLS and LVEF were found between patients with and without cardiac events (p<0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed patients with worse GLS had an unfavorable outcome in both DCM and MI groups (p<0.05), but LVEF did not associated with outcome. Conclusion: LV GLS has the potential to predict the outcome with higher sensitivity than LVEF in patients with heart disease regardless of ischemic etiology.
