Abstract:Objective: To investigate the correlation and early warning value of quantitative parameters of ultrasonic left ventricular pressure-strain loop (PSL) with heart failure (HF) secondary to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 216 HCM patients in Linfen People's Hospital from January 2021 to June 2023. All patients underwent ultrasound PSL examination upon admission. The patients were followed up for 1 year and were divided into HF group and non-HF group according to whether they had secondary HF. Baseline data and quantitative parameters of ultrasound PSL were compared between the two groups, including left ventricular global circumferential strain (LVGCS) in parasternal short axis view, subendocardial myocardial (CS-Endo), midmyocardial (CS-Mid), subepicardial myocardial (CS-Epi), left ventricular global torsional strain (Twist), left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS), left ventricular global radial strain (LVGRS), subendocardial myocardial (LS-Endo), midmyocardial (LS-Mid), subepicardial myocardial (LS-Epi), longitudinal strain and peak strain dispersion (PSD), global work of no use (GWW), global work of use (GCW), global work index (GWI), and global work efficiency (GWE) in apical view. The correlation and early warning value of ultrasound PSL quantitative parameters with HF secondary to HCM were analyzed. Results: After a 1-year follow-up, three patients were lost to follow-up, 31 patients developed HF, and 182 patients did not develop HF. The HF group was older than the non-HF group, had a longer duration of HCM than the non-HF group, had a higher interventricular septal thickness at admission than the non-HF group, and had a lower LVEF than the non-HF group (P<0.05). The HF group had a higher GWW than the non-HF group, and a lower GCW, GWI, and GWE than the non-HF group (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that GWW was positively correlated with interventricular septum thickness and negatively correlated with LVEF, while GCW, GWI, and GWE were negatively correlated with interventricular septum thickness and positively correlated with LVEF (P<0.05). In the partial correlation analysis, GWW, GCW, GWI, and GWE were significantly correlated with HCM-induced HF (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of GWW, GCW, GWI, and GWE for predicting HF secondary to HCM was 0.786, 0.775, 0.721, and 0.795, with sensitivities of 77.42%, 83.87%, 64.52%, and 74.19%, and specificities of 69.23%, 64.84%, 76.92%, and 73.63%. The AUC of the combined warning of GWW, GCW, GWI, and GWE was 0.913, with a sensitivity of 87.10% and a specificity of 78.02%, which was significantly better than the value of individual warning (Z=2.540, 2.671, 3.058, 2.252, P=0.011, 0.008, 0.002, 0.024). Conclusions: The quantitative parameters of ultrasound PSL, GWW, GCW, GWI, and GWE, are significantly correlated with HF secondary to HCM, and can be used as effective early warning indicators, and the combined early warning value is more reliable.
