Abstract

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established therapeutic option for the subset of patients with heart failure (HF), reduced ejection fraction (EF), and dyssynchrony evidenced by electrocardiography. Benefit from CRT has been proven in many clinical trials, yet a sizeable proportion of these patients with wide QRS do not respond to this intervention, despite the updated practice guidelines. Several echocardiographic indices, targeting mechanical rather than electrical dyssynchrony, have been suggested to address this issue, but research so far has not succeeded in providing a single and simple measurement with adequate sensitivity and specificity for identification of responders. While there is still ongoing research in this field, echocardiography proves helpful in other aspects of CRT implementation, such as site selection for left ventricular (LV) lead pacing and optimization of pacing parameters during follow-up visits.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to assess the left ventricular filling and estimate the end-diastolic pressure of the left ventricle in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) by echocardiographic measurement of the atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD). In 101 patients (mean age 59 ±12 years) with CAD, a complete transthoracic echocardiographic study was performed, just prior to cardiac catheterization. The AVPD was recorded by Mmode echocardiography, from apical four and two chamber views. The recordings were obtained at four sites, corresponding to the septal, lateral, anterior and inferior walls of the left ventricle. The mean AVPD resulting from atrial systole (At), the mean total (T) diastolic AVPD, the ratio At/T(%) and the ratio of mitral annulus excursion during early and late diastole [(T-At)/At] were calculated. Firty-two age-matched healthy subjects served as control group. Both At and At/T were significantly greater in patients with CAD than in the controls (6.06 ±0.94 vs 5.53 ±0.55 mm, p
