Abstract
Our study was designed to assess the agreement between TTE and TEE techniques for segmental and global myocardial deformation in different cardiac diseases.
The study was conducted in the cardiology departments of Menoufia University Faculty of Medicine, Sixty consecutive patients underwent full history taking, Systematic clinical examination, echocardiography, TEE and Strain imaging study.
Our results reveled that:
1- concerning all the study population, the range of age was 16-68 years, 19 (32%) patients were males, one (2%) patient was exsmoker, 4 (7%) patients were hypertensive, all patients were not diabetic (100%) and the range of BMI was (22-38) kg/m2. 50 (83%).
50 (83%) patients were sinus rhythm and 10(17%) patients had AF (table 1), resting heart rate of the studied population was ranged from 56 to131 bpm while during, TEE was higher ranged from 62 to 140 bpm, and systolic BP was ranged from 100 to 150 mmHg and the diastolic BP was ranged from 70 to 90 mmHg.
2- In studied population the measurements of longitudinal strain using TTE showed higher values of LS globally and almost all LV segments incomparison to TEE values, only the mid anteroseptal segment showed the reverse, where LS was significantly lower using TTE compared with TEE. Unlike, circumferential strain measured at segmental and global level showed lower values when using TTE compared with TEE.
3- TTE analysis was more feasible in all strain components: longitudinal, circumferential and radial strain in comparison to TEE examination.
