Objective To establish normal reference values for left ventricular trabecular and papillary muscle mass(TPMM)in Chinese adults using MRI and to explore its impact factors.Methods A total of 168 healthy Chinese adults were retrospectively included,and compacted and total left ventricular myocardial mass(LVM)were measured using traditional and dedicated methods,respectively.TPMM was calculated from the difference between total and compacted LVM.Independent sample t-tests and analysis of variance were used to explore the differences in TPMM among genders and age groups,while multiple linear regression was used to explore the independent correlation between TPMM and age,gender,heart rate,systolic blood pressure(SBP),fasting blood glucose(FBG),and body mass index(BMI).Results TPMM for men was significantly larger than that for female(P<0.001).TPMM in the elderly group was significantly larger in female(P<0.05),but not in men.Multiple linear regression showed that BMI and SBP were both independently positively correlated with TPMM,and female and heart rate were independently negatively correlated with TPMM(P<0.05).Conclusion This study provides age-and gender-specific normal reference values for TPMM in Chinese adults.Gender,heart rate,BMI,and SBP are all independently associated with TPMM.
Résumé
Breast cancer is a common tumor in women.Early and timely diagnosis is crucial for treatment and prognosis.As a routine method of breast examination,ultrasonography plays an important role in diagnosis of breast diseases.Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) is a new ultrasonic blood flow imaging technique in recent years,which separates spectrum signals of low-speed flow from normal tissue motion by an adaptive algorithm.SMI can display the slow-speed flow more realistically,and has been used on breast,thyroid,liver and so on.SMI is obviously valuable in clinic.The principle and application progresses of SMI in diagnosis of breast diseases were reviewed in this article.
