Abstract |
Left ventricular longitudinal strain (LVLS) is a modern measurement for LV function. However, strain measurement is often difficult in critically ill patients. We sought to show LVLS can be estimated using M-mode-derived longitudinal wall fractional shortening (LWFS), which is less dependent on image quality and is easier to perform in critically ill patients. Transthoracic echocardiographic records were retrospectively screened and 80 studies suitable for strain and M-mode measurements in the apical 4-chamber view were selected. Longitudinal wall fractional shortening was derived from conventional M-mode (LWFS) and curved anatomical M-mode (CAMMFS). The relationships between LVLS and mitral annular plane systolic excusion (MAPSE) and M-mode-derived fractional shortening were examined using univariate generalized linear model in a training set (n = 50) and was validated in a separate validation set (n = 30). MAPSE, CAMMFS, and LWFS demonstrated very good correlations with LVLS (r = 0.852, 0.875 and 0.909, respectively). LWFS was the best unbiased predictor for LVLS (LVLS = 1.180 x LWFS - 0.737, P < 0.001). Intra- and inter-rater agreement and reliability for LWFS measurement were good. LVLS can be estimated by LWFS in the critically ill patients. It provides a fast and accurate prediction of LVLS. LWFS is a reproducible and reliable measurement which can be used as a potential index in place of LVLS in the critically ill population. |
