Left Ventricle Systolic Function Evaluation in Patients with Implanted Devices

Abstract

Echocardiography is the most com­mon method of examination of cardiac patients. Left ventricle dimension and func­tion evaluation is a cornerstone in patients with implanted devices. The measurement includes classical parameters and variables from advanced techniques such as three­dimensional echocardiography and two and three-speckle tracking echocardiography. Wall motion abnormalities also need special attention, according to implanted devices.

2.1 Evaluation of Classical Parameters of Systolic Function in Patients with Implanted Devices

Quantitative assessment of left ventricle (LV) size and function is essential for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of heart diseases in any patient (Lang et al. 2015).
Two-dimensional (2D) echocardiogra-
phy has an established role in LV function
assessment. The limitations are foreshortening,

malrotation, and angulation; therefore, the meas­urements may be inaccurate (Lang et al. 2012).
The most used parameters to describe LV cavity size are linear internal dimensions and volumes. Measurements are commonly reported for end-diastole and end-systole and should be reported indexed to body surface area (BSA). Linear measurements are representative only in normally shaped ventricles and should be avoided in heart failure (HF) patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) (Lang et al.
2015).

2.2 LV Volumes Measurement

According to the guideline’s recommendations for chamber quantification, LV size should be assessed by calculating volumes using the biplane method of disks summation technique (modified Simpson’s rule) (Lang et al. 2015). Acquisition will be obtained from the apical 4- and 2-chamber views, focused on the LV (Fig. 2.1). Contrast agents for endocardial delin­eation improvement will be used when two or more contiguous LV segments are poorly visu­alized in apical views (Mulvagh et al. 2008). Volumes provided by contrast-enhanced images are closer to those obtained with cardiac mag­netic resonance (CMR) (Hoffmann et al. 2006). Left ventricle end-diastolic volume (LVEDV)

will be evaluated at end-diastole—the first frame after mitral valve closure or the frame where the largest LV volume is the largest (Fig.
2.1Aa, Bc). Left ventricle end-systolic volume
(LVESV) will be evaluated at end-systole—the first frame after aortic valve closure or the frame where the LV volume is smallest (Lang et al.
2015) (Fig. 2.1Aa, Bd).
The guidelines also recommend:
– tracing the endocardial border at the blood
pool interface, between the compacted myo­cardium and the cavity, using the images with clear endocardial border definition
– excluding papillary muscles from the LV cav-
ity tracing – maximizing LV area – avoiding foreshortening.

distance between the middle of this line and the most and the apical point of the LV contour (Lang et al. 2015).
LV EDVs of 74 mL/m2 for men and 61 mL/ m2 for women and LVESVs of 31 mL/m2 for men and 24 mL/m2 for women are the upper limits of the normal range (Lang et al. 2015).

2.3 LVEF

Ejection Fraction (EF) is the primary method for the global systolic function measurement and uses LVEDV and LVESV.
LVEF by Biplane Method of Disks (modified Simpson’s rule)
LVEF = LVEDV − LVESV/LVEDV
At the mitral valve level, the contour is closed by connecting the two opposite sections of the mitral ring with a straight line. LV length is the
The average value of ejection fraction is 53–73% (52–72% for men, 54–74% for women) (Lang et al. 2015; Potter 2018).
2.3 LVEF

Another LV systolic function assessment
parameter is Global Longitudinal Strain (GLS), derived from 2D speckle tracking echo- cardiography (2D STE). GLS represents the change in the length of cardiac fiber within a certain direction: longitudinal, circumferential, and radial planes, relative to its baseline length (Tops et al. 2017; Negishi and Negishi 2015).
Strain (%) = (Lt – Lo) / Lo o Lt is the length
at time t, Lo is the length at time 0 (Potter
2018). PW of the LVOT should be used to time
the aortic valve opening and closure (Fig. 2.2a). Longitudinal and circumferential shortening have a negative value (Fig. 2.2b), while radial thickening has a positive value (Fig. 2.2c, d) (Potter 2018; Negishi and Negishi 2015).
Peak global LV strain measurement involves averaging 3 standard apical views GLS val­ues. The three, four, and two apical LV-focused views should be acquired by optimizing endo­cardial borders. The acquisition should be per­formed at a frame rate of 60–90 Hz. Heart rate
variation should not vary more than five bpm. (Potter 2018).
Strain is a frame-by-frame automatic track­ing of acoustic markers throughout the cardiac cycle. The operator can manually adjust the segments that failed to track correctly. After tracing the endocardial border, the time–longi­tudinal strain curves for the apical four-chamber (A4ch), two-chamber (A2ch), and three-cham­ber (A3ch) views will be obtained. The left ven­tricle is divided into six segments in each apical view. The final bull’s eye plot will display the regional longitudinal strain value for every 17 segments, and the LV averaged GLS (Tops et al.
2017) (Fig. 2.3). Peak GLS is a negative num-
ber, and average values range from 15.9% to
22.1% (Potter and Marwick 2018). Normal val­ues usually differ depending on the vendor or the software version, but generally, the cut-off is
− 20%. A smaller absolute number represents a pathological value (Negishi and Negishi 2015) (Fig. 2.4).

The peak strain can be measured as peak systolic strain, peak strain at end-systole (in the moment of aortic valve closure), or peak strain during the cardiac cycle regardless of timing (Negishi and Negishi 2015).
The strain has three main components: lon­gitudinal (LS) (motion from base to apex) (Fig.
2.5), circumferential (CS) (change in radius of
the short axis, perpendicular to the radial and long axis) (Fig. 2.6) and radial (RS) (wall thick­ening and thinning) (Fig. 2.7). Analysis can be performed either for individual segments or the entire LV. The radial strain data have generally shown an increased variability compared with longitudinal and circumferential strain (Chan et al. 2006a; Oxborough et al. 2012) because the

lower lateral resolution produces lateral drop­out and out-of-plane motion of the LV basal segments (Geyer et al. 2010). Nonuniform seg­mental thickness of the scar area could produce variability of the region of interest during stain analysis, with variability in strain parameters (Biaggi et al. 2011). Myocardial shear strain in the circumferential longitudinal plane provides the twist and torsion (Geyer et al. 2010) (Fig.
2.8). LV wall strain will impair according to the
involved myofiber.
The damage to the subendocardium, the most sensitive layer with longitudinally oriented fib­ers, will decrease the longitudinal strain (Fig.
2.9). Involvement of the mid myocardium with
circumferential fiber or subepicardial layer with oblique fiber alignment results in impairment of CS (Fig. 2.10) and RS (Fig. 2.11) and twist mechanics (Fig. 2.12). Acute transmural damage or a disease affecting all three layers will damage all vectors of mechanics (Mor-Avi et al. 2011).
The strain rate represents the change of strain over time (Potter and Marwick 2018) (Fig. 2.13).
Systolic dyssynchrony index (SDI) is cal­culated by STE averaging values from A-3ch, A4ch, and A-2ch view. For each view, SDI is
quantified by calculating the standard deviation of time to peak systolic strain of six segments (Fig. 2.14) (Kusumoto et al. 2018).
Myocardial work evaluates LV performance, incorporating afterload into strain measurement. The method uses cuff systolic blood pressure, providing a more load-independent measurement than GLS. Measured parameters are: myocar­dial work efficiency, global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW), global work efficiency (GWE).
Myocardial work efficiency = GCW/[GCW + GWW]) (Fig. 2.15) (Kusumoto et al. 2018).
Three-dimensional transthoracic echocar­diographic (3DE TTE) LV assessment is more
accurate than 2D echocardiography (Yoshitani et al. 2009) and includes volumes, ejection fraction, shape, and regional and global strain (Lang et al. 2012). Depending on image qual­ity and availability, 3D LV evaluation is recom­mended when feasible (Lang et al. 2015). The most important contribution of 3D echocardi­ography is the LV quantification (Monaghan
2006). The advantage of 3D echocardiographic
