Abstract：
:Ankylosing spondylitis is associated with a decreased survival that appears attributable to cardiovascular causes. To determine whether alterations in systolic or diastolic cardiac function precede overt cardiac disease, 20 ankylosing spondylitis patients without clinical evidence of cardiovascular disease and 25 healthy age and gender matched controls were studied by cross-sectional and Doppler echocardiography. Systolic function was assessed by wall motion analysis and ejection velocities. Diastolic function was measured by the peak velocity of early ventricular inflow, peak velocity in late diastole during atrial systole, the ratio of these velocities and the diastolic filling time. Atrial, ventricular and aortic dimensions were similar in patients and controls. Ejection indexes and systolic wall motion were normal in both groups. Diastolic function differed in patients as evidenced by a shorter diastolic filling period [405 +/- 68 ms vs 548 +/- 136 ms, p = 0.0001], a reduced velocity of early mitral inflow [0.55 +/- 0.09 m/s vs 0.63 +/- 0.11 m/s (p = 0.005)], and lower ratios of early/late inflow velocities [1.21 +/- 0.33 vs 1.60 +/- 0.35 (p = 0.0005) for mitral and 1.36 +/- 0.34 vs 1.71 +/- 0.42 (p = 0.016) for tricuspid]. These changes are consistent with impaired ventricular relaxation in some patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
