Left atrial volume changes during exercise stress echocardiography in heart failure and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hellenic Journal of Cardiology(2022)
摘要
Objective
We aimed to assess feasibility and functional correlates of left atrial volume index (LAVI) changes during exercise stress echocardiography (ESE).
Methods
ESE on a bike or treadmill was performed in 363 patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF, n = 173), reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF, n = 59), or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM, n = 131). The LAVI stress-rest increase ≥6.8 ml/m2 was defined as dilation.
Results
LAVI measurements were feasible in 100%. LAVI did not change in HFrEF being at rest 32 (25-45) vs at stress 36 (24-54) ml/m2, P = NS and in HCM at rest 35 (26-48) vs at stress 38 (28-48) ml/m2, P = NS, whereas it decreased in HFpEF from 30 (24-40) to 29 (21-37) ml/m2 at stress, P = 0.007. LA dilation occurred in 107 (30%) patients (27% with treadmill vs 33% with bike ESE, P = NS): 26 with HFpEF (15%), 26 with HFrEF (44%), and 55 with HCM (42%) with P < 0.001 for HFrEF and HCM vs HFpEF.A multivariate analysis revealed as the predictors for LAVI dilation E/e’ > 14 at rest with odds ratio (OR) 4.4, LVEF <50% with OR 2.9, and LAVI at rest <35 ml/m2 with OR 2.7.
Conclusion
The LAVI assessment during ESE was highly feasible and dilation equally frequent with a treadmill or bike. LA dilation was three-fold more frequent in HCM and HFrEF and could be predicted by increased resting E/e’ and impaired EF as well as smaller baseline LAVI.
