| Abstract: | Purpose This study investigated the novel non-invasive left atrial (LA) stiffness parameter using pulmonary venous (PV) flow measurements and the clinical usefulness of the novel LA stiffness parameter. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 237 patients who underwent right heart catheterization and echocardiography less than one week apart. From the pulmonary artery wedge pressure waveform, the difference between x-descent and v-wave (Delta P) was measured. Using the echocardiographic biplane method of disks, the difference between LA maximum volume and that just before atrial contraction (Delta V-MOD) was calculated, and the Delta P/Delta V-MOD was calculated as a standard LA stiffness index. From the PV flow waveform, the peak systolic velocity (S), peak diastolic velocity (D), and minimum velocity between them (R) were measured, and S/D, S/R, and D/R were calculated. From the speckle tracking echocardiography-derived time-LA volume curve, the difference between LA maximum volume and that just before atrial contraction (Delta V-STE) was measured. Each patient's prognosis was investigated until three years after echocardiography. Results Among the PV flow parameters, D/R was significantly correlated with Delta P (r = 0.62), and the correlation coefficient exceeded that between S/D and Delta P (r = - 0.39) or S/R and Delta P (r = 0.14). The [D/R]/Delta V-STE was significantly correlated with Delta P/Delta V-MOD (r = 0.61). During the follow-up, 37 (17%) composite endpoints occurred. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with [D/R]/Delta V-STE greater than 0.13 /mL were at higher risk of cardiac events. Conclusion The [D/R]/Delta V-STE was useful for assessing LA stiffness non-invasively and might be valuable in the prognostic evaluation of patients with cardiac diseases. |
