斑点追踪技术在右心疾病中的应用

Role of speckle-tracking echocardiography in evaluation of right heart disease

左右心室收缩功能的评估对心血管疾病患者的管理和预后有着重要的作用。斑点追踪超声心动图是一种新兴的评估心室功能的技术,与传统参数相比更加准确和敏感,可用于检测亚临床心室收缩功能不全,并且可以提供额外的预后价值。本文对斑点追踪超声心动图在右心疾病中的应用进展进行综述。

Accurate assessment of left and right ventricular systolic functions plays an important role in the prognostication and management of patients with cardiovascular disease. Speckle tracking echocardiography is a novel, simple and reproducible technique for the assessment of left and right ventricular functions. Compared with conventional parameters, speckle tracking technique is more accurate and sensitive, which can be used to detect subclinical ventricular systolic dysfunction and provide incremental prognostic value beyond traditional echocardiographic parameters. This review discusses the clinical application of speckle tracking echocardiography in the evaluation of right heart disease.
