ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the value of ultrasonic velocity vector imaging(VVI)in assessing motion abnormality of myocardial segment of hyperthyroid heart disease.Methods:A total of 76 patients with hyperthyroid heart disease who admitted to hospital from August 2019 to August 2021 were selected.According to the damage degree of ascending aorta of patients,30 patients whose inner diameter of ascending aorta was greater than 30 mm were included in the"inner diameter>30mm"group,and 46 patients whose inner diameter of ascending aorta was less than 30 mm were included in the"inner diameter<30mm"group.Additionally,40 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations during the same period were selected as the healthy control group.All subjects underwent routine echocardiography examination,and the images were imported into the velocity vector imaging(VVI)workstation.And then,the clear and standard two-dimensional grayscale dynamic images were selected to conduct analysis.The left ventricle was tracked and analyzed,and the left ventricular long axis,the apical four chamber,and the velocity of reaching peak value,the time of 50%velocity and the time of 75%velocity of longitudinal myocardial movement of 18 segments of two chambers,as well as the mitral valve level of short axis,the velocity of reaching peak value of reaching peak value,the time of 50%velocity and the time of 75%velocity of radial myocardial movement of 12 segments of horizontal section of papillary muscle,of three cardiac cycles were stored and recorded.Results:There were significant differences in the time to peak of longitudinal contraction at the basal segment and middle segment of left ventricular lateral wall,and the basal segment of front wall,the basal segment,middle segment and apical segment of inferior wall,as well as the basal segment,middle segment and apical segment of posterior wall among three groups(F=45.02,23.19,8.70,19.82,16.17,18.07,36.85,48.65,36.64,P<0.05),respectively.There were significant differences in the velocity and time of reaching peak value of the radial contraction of the levels of papillary muscle and mitral valve of short axis of left ventricular inferior wall among the three groups(F=15.44,40.35,P<0.001),respectively.Conclusion:VVI technique can accurately detect the subtle changes of the synchronization of myocardial systolic motion of left ventricular short axis and long axis of patients with hyperthyroid heart disease,which has higher application value in assessing the abnormalities of myocardial segmental motion of patients with hyperthyroid heart disease.
