RESUMO
Aim To evaluate the right and left ventricular function and their interaction in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) complicated with mitral valve insufficiency (MVI) according to data of echocardiography (EchoCG) with the strain in gray scale, vector and diagram analyses.Material and methods The study included 118 patients evaluated with EchoCG at the preoperative stage of treatment; 71 of these patients had ischemic MVI (group 1) and 47 patients had uncomplicated IHD (group 2 or comparison group). Mean age of patients was 64±10 years. All patients underwent a surgery in an appropriate volume for myocardial revascularization supplemented with mitral valve plasty or replacement in patients with MVI. Standard EchoCG parameters and data obtained by postprocessing the EchoCG gray-scale images using the strain in gray scale, vector and diagram analyses were evaluated.Results In patients with complicated IHD, both global and local left ventricular (LV) systolic function and the right ventricular (RV) fractional area change (FAC) were significantly decreased. At the same time, there were no significant differences in the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) measured in M-mode and in the tricuspid annular systolic wave velocity (VSta), which also characterize the RV systolic function. The global longitudinal strain, the velocities of LV volume change and RV area change, and the long axis change velocity were informative for the right and left chambers, whereas the velocities of LV volume and RV area changes better detected RV disorders. The Pearson's correlation analysis used to identify the most significant parameters of interventricular interaction showed the presence of a strong inverse correlation, in the group of MVI patients, between the RV FAC and the degree of LV diastolic dysfunction (Ðâ/âe') - r= -0,62; p=0.000, as well аs the degree of MVI (vena contracta) - r= -0.58; p=0.001. In the comparison group of IHD patients without MVI, the correlation of RV FAC with Eâ/âe' was absent (r=0.28; p=0.192). The volume change velocity (dVolâ/âdt) moderately correlated with the RV end-systolic and end-diastolic area in IHD patients but not in IHD patients with MVI. The RV area change velocity (dSâ/âdt) evaluated during systole and diastole moderately significantly correlated with the LV end-diastolic volume.Conclusion Additional overload of left heart chambers in ischemic MVI is a factor that influences the development of the systemic and pulmonary circuit disorders. Recording and evaluation of global longitudinal strain, LV volume change velocity, and long axis change velocity with simultaneous recording of the segmental myocardial displacement velocity serve as highly informative criteria for disorders of LV and RV function. The vector analysis allows quantitative estimation of the local segmental myocardial function. Decreased velocities of the free RV wall segmental displacements during systole and diastole are characteristic of systolic and diastolic dysfunction in patients with IHD complicated with mitral regurgitation.

We examined a total of 106 patients with ischaemic heart disease (mean age - 59±7 years) and 30 apparently healthy people (mean age - 36±4 years). Myocardial revascularization was performed with the help of stenting and coronary artery bypass grafting. The patients with ischaemic heart disease were divided into 2 groups: Group 1 with postinfarction cardiosclerosis and Group 2 without Q-forming myocardial infarction. Echocardiography was performed using the Vivid E9 machine prior to operation, intraoperatively, and 10-14 after the intervention. We registered the end-systolic volume and end-diastolic volume of the left ventricle, ejection fraction, cardiac index. Alterations of velocity were assessed in relation to of the volume of the left ventricle (dVol/dt), length of the ventricle (dL/dt) in systole and diastole, as well as myocardial shift velocity in 3 endocardial regions - basal (V1), middle (V2), apical portions (V3) and interrelationship with intraventricular blood flows. It was determined that myocardial dysfunction leads to impairment of the structure of the flow, change of acceleration, which is accompanied by a decrease in the cardiac productivity. Impairment of segmental contractility of the left ventricle is manifested by a decrease of vectors of myocardial motion velocity by more than 20%. Intraventricular flows in cardiac chambers may serve as predictors of adequacy of correction of coronary pathology.

The article is devoted to the novel methodological approach to assessment of function of the myocardium and the left ventricle as a whole with the help of modern methods of processing ultrasound images obtained by echocardiography. It contains presentation of theoretical prerequisites for elaboration of a new direction, as well as mathematical computations basing on which quantitative parameters for assessment of myocardial function and blood flows within chambers of the heart were obtained. The fundamental principle in assessing these parameters was the use of the phase structure of the cardiac cycle.

The authors performed clinical studies based on modelling of an ascending aortic aneurysm in 37 patients and 10 apparently healthy subjects. Echocardiography was carried out in the B-mode using the Vivid E9 device (USA, GE). The linear dimensions of the aorta were assessed at three points - in the immediate vicinity of the valves, in the area of the maximum dilatation and in the area of decreased dilatation with registration of blood flow velocity in the aorta. The aortic walls were contoured with the division of equal intervals into 4 portions in order to obtain longitudinal shear deformation velocity during the cardiac cycle. We worked out a system of assessing the velocity vector fields with the help of transthoracic echocardiography in patients with an ascending aortic aneurysm, based on registration of blood flows, which made it possible to obtain the components of velocity. We also determined an optimal method of assessing turbulence in the aorta taking into account the direction of the vectors. Obtained were the numerical data of aortic wall deformation velocity in the longitudinal direction and calculation of the weighting function with the distinction between pathology and the norm. Based on the deformation, the distance between the registered points, and the movement of the vascular wall, we determined the reference values of blood flow velocity inside the aorta and immediately close to its walls.

OBJECTIVE: to examine relationship between anatomical changes of the left ventricle (LV), dynamics of velocity of its volume modification, and blood flows in the LV in patients with mitral regurgitation (MR) before and after surgical treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included into this study 58 patients with severe 3-4 degree MR (38 men, 20 women aged 24-69 [mean age 51±9] years) in sinus rhythm (96 %) or atrial fibrillation (4 %). The control group included 86 healthy volunteers, mean age 39±7 years. Transthoracic echocardiographic studies were performed in both groups by standard technique at rest using a high-quality echocardiograph Vivid E9, equipped with a 3.5-4.6 MHz multi frequency transducer (in patients before and after surgical repair - mitral valve [MV] replacement and MV reconstruction with annuloplasty ring). The analysis of files recorded was performed off-line by vector analysis technique including estimation of myocardial deformation velocities and dynamics of LV volume modification, construction of "flow-volume" diagram, calculation of the expended kinetic energy, and registration of intraventricular blood flows. RESULTS: End diastolic volume (EDV), end systolic volume (ESV) and total stroke volume (TSV) (effective + retrograde) were significantly increased in patients with severe LV volume overload before surgery in comparison with the control group (p.

Results of the clinical study involving 458 patients (from 12 to 75 years, mean age 49 +/- 9.3 years) with various forms of infective endocarditis (IE) have been summarized. Integrated echocardiography was the principal non-invasive method of presurgical diagnosis of the disease. Sensitivity of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) were 96% and 97.9% in patients with primary IE, 59% and 92% in patients with secondary IE and 2.7% and 90% in patients with prosthetic endocarditis, respectively. Results of echocardiography were confirmed during intrasurgical revision and histological study of removed valves. However, we have not found correlation between size, location, shape, mobility of vegetations, and risk of embolic events. Integrated echocardiography contributed to the correct diagnosis and also provided the possibility to determine the necessity of surgery and to schedule it in time. The main goals of surgery in IE heart valves are complete removal/sanitation of infected tissue and restoration or replacement of damaged heart valves. Overall hospital mortality was 8.1%. Mortality among patients operated in the active stage of IE and during remission was 10.5 and 7.1%, respectively. Surgical treatment in the active phase of IE is indicated in patients with factors of high risk, when the possibility of cure with antibiotics is unlikely, as well as in patients with high chances of recovery according to the state of organs and systems.

AIM OF THE STUDY: evaluation of arterial and venous liver circulation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) using the method of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: 62 patients undergoing reconstructive cardiac surgery with CPB were analyzed. During all the stages of treatment we performed monitoring of mean arterial pressure, heart rate and central venous pressure. TEE was performed using specialized Philips iE-33 3-D matrix multifrequency probe X7-2t in transgastral position. Ultrasonic and dopplerographic measuring of blood flow in hepatic artery and veins was performed before sternotomy, in 30 minutes after starting CPB and after stopping CPB during sternal closure. The speed of bloodflow in hepatic artery, hepatic veins, biochemical blood analysis was evaluated, i.e. lactate level, AST ALT ratio before the intervention, during CPD and in early postoperative period RESULTS: Correlation between blood flow in liver vessels and dynamics of biochemical analysis. It is considered to that this change during procedures with CPB may be linked with liver insufficiency during first hours of evaluation. In other words reduced blood flow in liver vessels may be one of the liver insufficiency early symptoms and is one of factors that require correction during operative and early postoperative period. So dynamic follow-up of hepatic circulation may be used as a method of early diagnostics of functional organ disorders.

The paper analyzes the study of the myocardium in patients with coronary artery disease to identify new predictors of reduction of myocardial contractility. Research carried out on the basis of transthoracic echocardiography and transesophageal on Vivid 7 unit and Vivid-E9 with multifrequency array sensor (3.5-5.5 MHz) by method with the obligatory registration ofstandard ECG. All studies in the form of static and moving images (3-5 cardiocycles Cine-loop) is stored in workstation memory Echopac 7 (GE Vingmed Ultrasound, USA). To assess the functional state of left ventricular myocardium was measured geometry of the cavities of the heart and determines the main central hemodynamics: end-diastolic and end-systolic volume qf the left ventricle, the si:e of the left atrium, the rate of displacement of the myocardium ofivector analysis, stroke vohne, duration of the phases ofthe cardiac cycle, the pressure in the pulmonary circulation. In patients with low reserves, changes are observed during the period of contraction and relaxation. The maximum rate peaks do not coincide, and are significantly reduced compared with the outcome. Acceleration, velocity of bloodflow in the left ventricular cavity shows changing the direction of blood flow--this is nothing other than the power characteristic, which reflects energy during the contraction. Determination of the eddy currents and the velocity characterizes the acceleration of change in the direction of blood flow

Most frequent cause of abnormalities of elastic properties of walls of abdominal aorta is development of atherosclerosis resulting in replacement of elastin by simpler fibrillar proteins and collagen. This subsequently leads to dilation of the aorta and formation of aneurism. Increase of collagen content in the aortic wall correlates with growth of aneurism dimensions. Main method of treatment of aneurisms is implantation of abdominal aortic prosthesis. Detailed preoperative assessment of functional state of the aortic wall is necessary in preoperative period but none of modern imaging instrumental methods including ultrasound study allows to realize this assessment. In this article we present first experience of assessment of aortic wall deformation velocity analyzing results of ultrasound study with the help of the Multivox working station in 36 patients 16 of whom were operated because of aneurism of abdominal aorta.

Observation results of 133 patients with chronic heart insufficiency and 29 healthy people, all aged 41 ± 6 years were analyzed. 51 patients had ischemic heart disease, 53 had various valvular diseases and 30 patients had dilated cardiomyopathy. Echocardiography was performed together with ECG. Blood flows in left ventricle, myocardium shift velocity and pressure gradients during the heart cycle were measured. The study showed that systole leads to the directional change of blood flows within the heart cycle, accompanied by turbulence phenomenon with extremely high flow velocities. Detection of vortex flows and velocity vector characterizes changes of flow direction. All patients of the main group were operated on with the use of modern methods of heart remodeling. The principally novel method of surgical treatment, allowing to preserve the patient's heart, was worked out.

UNLABELLED: The aim of current study was to evaluate in complex the effectiveness of transvaginal mesh implants in women with obstructed defecation (OD) syndrome based on the comparison of preoperative and postoperative results of objective diagnostic tools and quality of life parameters. METHODS: from prospectively collected database of patients treated in our department those who were treated for OD by means of transvaginally placed mesh implants were chosen. The comparison of pre- and postoperative results of objective evaluation (prolapse stage according to POP-Q system, X-ray defecography - XR-DG and MRI defecography - MRI-DG) as well quality of life parameters (Wexner constipation score and validated Russian version of King's Health Questionnaire) was undertaken. Treatment effectiveness was evaluated using Сlinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I) и Patient Global Impression - Improvement (PGI-I) scales. RESULTS: In 2007-2011 40 women (mean age 51.8±10.7 years) underwent transvaginal pelvic floor reconstruction with mesh implants. All of them had ≤3 stage pelvic prolapse (POP-Q) and rectocele. Preoperative XR-DG and MRI-DG helped reveal rectocele >4 cm in 85 and 43% of women respectively, 68% of patients had cystocele and 18% - genital prolapse. In 21 case mesh implants for posterior pelvic floor reinforcement were used, in other cases mesh implants for total pelvic floor repair were placed. At a mean of 19 months after the operation manual examination revealed that 90% of women had 1 stage posterior pelvic proplapse, at XR-DG and MRI-DG significant reduction of rectocele size and depth of pelvic floor descent was noted. Besides that significant decrease in mean values of Wexner constipation score and King's health questionnaire was demonstrated. Though mean values of global treatment effectiveness assessment on CGI-I and PGI-I scales didn't significantly differ (2.13±0.85 и 2.68±1.42, Ñ=0.06), the rate of agreement between these scales measured at each single case was very low (κ-0.154), this reflects that clinician has more positive perception of disease dynamics due to treatment than the patient. When mean values of dynamics in different indexes of King's health questionnaire were compared it was demonstrated that the index of quality of life influence (3.53±0.96) was significantly higher than the indexes of OD influence (2.63±1.08) and mechanical symptoms (2.58±1.04), this suggests that while the manifestations of OD syndrome are significantly improved patient quality of life doesn't change substantially. CONCLUSIONS: XR-DG is more specific than MRI-DG in evaluating the size of rectocele and the depth of pelvic floor descent; the use of mesh implants in surgical treatment of OD syndrome results in significant reduction of rectocele and prolapse stage in 90% of patients; clinical evaluation of treatment effectiveness based on objective examination is more optimistic than subjective perception of treatment results by the patient, this indicates that anatomic correction does not always lead to quality of life improvement.

The work was aimed at comparatively studying the outcomes of carotid endarterectomy and carotid stenting for optimal therapeutic decision-making in patients presenting with carotid artery stenoses. We examined and treated a total of one hundred and sixty-seven patients. In the group of endarterectomy, we performed a total of 91 operations in 85 patients, and in the group of carotid stenting, a total of 87 stenting procedures were carried out on the internal carotid artery with cerebral protection in 82 patients. This was followed by analysing both short- and long-term outcomes with a follow-up period ranging from 1 year to 3 years. We examined the following postoperative parameters: «stroke + lethality¼, incidence of transitory ischaemic attacks, as well as the rate of craniocerebral neuropathy and acute myocardial infarction. In the remote period we evaluated the prevalence rate of the parameter «stroke + myocardial infarction + lethality¼, as well as restenosis recurrence. In the carotid-endarterectomy group, the predictors of unfavourable surgical outcomes were contralateral occlusion (p=0.048) and cardial pathology (p=0.0245). In the group of carotid stenting, these predictors turned out to be a heterogeneous atherosclerotic plaque with an uneven or ulcerated contour (p=0.004), and the degree of cerebrovascular insufficiency (p=0.005).

The paper deals with the assessment of the adequacy and safety of multicomponent anesthesia based on propofol at lung surgery requiring one-lung ventilation (OLV) in patients with chronic respiratory diseases and with the evaluation of the effect of propofol on the development of adaptive mechanisms in various ventilation modalities in thoracic surgery. The pressor, resistive, and volume characteristics of pulmonary blood flow, systemic and intracardiac hemodynamics under artificial ventilation (AV) and OLV of a duration of up to 1.5 hours by a combination of pulmonal and transpulmonal thermodilution on a PiCCO plus device with a VOLEF attachment were compared. Multicomponent balanced anesthesia based on continuous graduated propofol infusion provides adequate protection of patients during thoracic operations, including those with concomitant respiratory abnormality.

Presented herein is a new technique of studying the competence of the microcirculatory bed and viability of appendicular tissues in patients suffering from lower limb critical ischaemia. The competence of the resistive link of microcirculation was determined by means of dynamic scintigraphy based on studying the primary passage of an internally administered radiopharmaceutical along the microcirculatory system. Accumulation of the radiopharmaceutical with an affinity for the sites of necrosis and inflammation was recorded by means of stationary scintigraphy. Based on the findings obtained in studying the outcomes of surgical management of 105 of the 123 examined patients presenting with lower limb critical ischaemia, criteria for microcirculatory competence and viability of the lower extremities were worked out. Reliable significance of these two criteria in assessing the efficacy of the outcomes of various types of revascularizations and amputations was determined.

The constantly increasing complexity and duration of surgical intervention, comorbidity that leads to severe circulatory and respiratory disorders, multifactoriness of functional and metabolic disorders--this also needs a rapid and accurate assessment of patients and objective monitoring. The value of monitoring is determined by the results of timely diagnosis of disorders and the prevention of severe complications, including circulatory arrest, regional and global systolic function of the ventricles, which undoubtedly assists in choosing the tactic of intensive care. Intracardiac echocardiography makes it possible to record changes in cardiac cavity volume in real time, to calculate ejection fraction as the major pump coefficient, which is of prime importance in the surgical correction of coronary circulation with one-stage correction of mitral insufficiency. Imaging of cardiac cavities, evaluation of valve apparatus function, timely diagnosis of myocardial contractility, by detecting the areas of a pathological condition, are main criteria for undertaking medical measures and choosing a treatment policy.

The paper analyzes a new approach to evaluating myocardial systolic and diastolic function, which is based on recording of the rate of myocardial displacement in different phases of a cardiac cycle. Changes in the rate of vector movements in a period of isovolumic contraction and relaxation are shown on ample clinical materials in both healthy individuals and patients with coronary heart disease. There is evidence for a significant difference in the performance of a stress test by healthy individuals and patients with a low coronary circulatory reserve.

The paper deals with the development of a procedure for using loading tests to predict the development of intraoperative heart failure in cardiosurgical patients. A volumetric loading test (limb elevation) was carried out to assess the mechanisms of responsible for the regulation of performance of the heart and the efficiency of its work. Cardiac output, end diastolic volume index, and ejection fraction were recorded and a hemodynamic response was assessed from their changes. Loading tests enabled the authors to identify 3 types of a hemodynamic response to a volumetric load. The incidence of postperfusion heart failure may be predicted depending on the identified type of a hemodynamic response to the volumetric load given at the very beginning of surgery.

Echocardiographic assessment of results of single stage mitral and aortic valvuloplasty was carried out in 29 patients (mean age 44.1+/-1.2 years) with combined rheumatic mitral and aortic valve disease. Dynamics of most of ultrasound parameters of the heart after double intervention on mitral and aortic valves was positive. Aortic regurgitation was either absent or minimal. Mean pressure gradient across the aortic valve was reduced 50%. Average reduction of transmitral valve pressure gradient was > or = 70%. Average increase of mitral orifice area index was 146%; average decrease of left atrial diameter index was 17%.
