Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between non-invasive left ventricular pressure-strain cycling(LVPSL)and Child-Pugh in patients with cirrhosis.
Methods A total of 120 patients with cirrhosis and 40 healthy controls admitted to Dezhou Hospital, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022 were prospectively included.According to the Child-Pugh score, patients with cirrhosis were divided into three subgroups: Child-Pugh class A group(A group, n=40), class B group(B group, n=40)and class C group(C group, n=40). Conventional echocardiographic parameters, left ventricular global longitudinal strain(LVGLS), left ventricular global work index(GWI), global constructive work(GCW), global wasted work(GWW), and global work efficiency(GWE)were collected.The correlation of conventional echocardiographic parameters, GLS, GWI, GCW, GWW and GWI with Child-Pugh score in cirrhotic patients was analyzed.
Results Compared with the control group, conventional echocardiographic parameters in the cirrhosis group had no significant changes, but LVGLS, GWI, GCW and GWE were significantly decreased, while GWW was increased(P<0.01). Compared with the cirrhosis A group, LVGLS, GWI, GCW, and GWE in the B group were decreased, while GWW was increased(P<0.01). Compared with the cirrhosis group B, LVGLS, GWI, GCW and GWE in the C group were decreased, while GWW was increased(P<0.01). The Child-Pugh score of cirrhosis patients was negatively correlated with the absolute value of LVGLS, GWI, GCW, and GWE(r=-0.624, -0.586, -0647, -0.589), and positively correlated with GWW(r=0.724).
Conclusion GWI, GCW, GWE and GWW based on the LVPSL technique can be used to quantitatively analyze myocardial work of different liver function grades.
