Abstract

Aim. To analyse quantitative parameters of functional geometry of the
left ventricle (LV) in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP), to
assess the changes in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) and to
reveal the relation of functional geometry of LV and its contractility.
Material and methods. In DCMP patients group, who were directed to
CRT according to the Guidelines of Russian Arhythmologists Society 2013, echocardiographic study was performed before and after CRT (at 5th day). Based on two-dimensional LV pictures the parameters were assessed in the cycle, as segmented kinetics of wall contraction, LV shape dynamics: sphericity index, Hibson, conicity of apical zone, Fourier shape complexity.
Results. In DCMP patients the decrease of global ejection fraction
<35% was followed with a decrease of systolic change of all sectoral squares of LV and enhancement of dimensional heterogeneity and
asynchronicity of regional wall motion during cardiac cycle comparing
to controls. There was negative correlation revealed between the
proposed index of non-homogeneity and global ejection fraction. All
shape indexes point to more spherical shape of LV in DCMP. However,
opposite to controls, DCMP patients lack dynamical changes of
shape indexes during cardiac cycle, that witnesses on significant
disorders of wall motion coordination in cycle. After CRT there is
significant re-coordination of LV wall motion, followed by restoration
of non-homogeneity pattern of segmental kinetics, decrease of nonhomogeneity indexes and of asynchronicity and appearance of the
dynamics of shape indexes changes during cardiac cycle. It was
shown that end-systolic indexes of sphericity shape complexity of
Fourier make it to separate patients who respond or does not on
therapy, by clinical parameters. Changes of sphericity index between
end diastole and end systole <3,5% selects patients with the highest
prognostic significance comparing with other parameters.
Conclusion. Disorders of functional geometry of the LV, particularly an
increase of non-homogeneity and asynchronicity parameters of the
regional motion of the wall, decrease of dynamical changes of LV
sphericity indexes, might influence contractility and pumping function of
the heart, and have diagnostic significance in selection of patients
responding to CRT.
