[Diastolic right ventricular hemodynamics in right ventricular overloads assessed by pulsed Doppler echocardiography].

Abstract：

:To assess right ventricular (RV) filling dynamics, RV inflow velocity patterns of pulsed Doppler echocardiograms and jugular pulse tracings were analyzed in 59 patients with various types of RV overloads and in 20 normal subjects. The patients were classified as (1) RV volume overload group (RVVO) consisting of 25 patients with atrial septal defect (ASD) without pulmonary hypertension (PH), (2) RV pressure overload group consisting of 26 patients including 12 with primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), eight with mitral stenosis, three with pulmonary stenosis and three with cor pulmonale, and (3) RV volume and pressure overload group consisting of eight patients with ASD and PH. The acceleration time (AT), deceleration time (DT) and the A/D ratio were measured from the RV inflow velocity patterns, and v-y interval and the y/H ratio were measured from jugular pulse tracings. The results were as follows: 1. AT was significantly prolonged in groups with pressure overload as well as pressure and volume overload compared with that of the normal controls. 2. DT was significantly prolonged in all overload groups compared with that of the normal controls except for PPH, and was particularly prolonged in the group with pressure overload. 3. The A/D ratio was significantly increased in all overload groups, particularly in the groups with pressure overload. 4. In patients with volume overloads, the v-y interval was longer and the y/H ratio was higher than in the normal controls. RVVO shifted to the right and superiorly. The reverse was true in the pressure overload group, and the high ratios were observed in the remainder. 5. In 12 patients with ASD evaluated pre- and postoperatively, AT, DT and the A/D ratio were restored to normal after surgery. These findings suggest that RV volume overload was characterized not only by increased inflow velocity during the rapid filling period, but prolongation of this period and compensatory increase of atrial inflow velocity. However, the pressure overload group had disturbed rapid filling and a decrease in end-diastolic RV compliance. The group with both pressure and volume overloads was between the two. In conclusion, the mode of RV filling in patients with RV overload showed various patterns depending on the type of overload. The RV inflow velocity pattern recorded by pulsed Doppler echocardiography is of use in discriminating these varieties.
