Objective:To assess the early changes of right ventricular contractile function in silicosis patients using 2D-STI and TDI. Methods:Thirty-four silicosis patients were enrolled in silicosis group(group S) and 36 age- and gender-matched healthy adults were recruited as control group(group C) in this study. After admission both groups were subjected to conventional ultrasound cardiogram(UCG) to get regular right ventricle parameters and then using 2D-STI to obtain systolic longitudinal strains in basal segment, middle segment and apex segment from both right ventricular free wall and right ventricular septum, respectively. Subsequently, we utilized TTI(tissue tracing imaging), PW-TDI(pulsed wave tissue Doppler imaging) and QTVI (quantitative tissue velocity imaging) to respectively acquire TAPSE (tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion), Tei Index and TAPVs (tricuspid annular peak systolic velocity) in TDI mode. Results:(1) For conventional UCG parameters:compared with group C, no statistically significant differences in right heart diameter, PASP and RVFAC were observed(P>0.05);(2) For 2D-STI parameters:strain S in basal segment, middle segment and apex segment from both right ventricular free wall and right ventricular septum declined in group S(P<0.05);(3) For TDI parameters:in comparison with group C, a dropping in TAPSE and TAPVs and a climbing in Tei Index were detected in group S. Conclusion:In clinical practice 2D-STI and TDI can be utilized as a useful tool for evaluating the early changes of right ventricular contractile function in silicosis patients. |
