目的:肺静脈血流(PVF)と経僧帽弁血流(TMF)の心房収縮期(A)波の持続時間の差(ΔAdur)は拡張後期の左室硬さを反映する指標として知られるが,再現性に問題がある.最近,我々は,PVF全体に占める逆行性A波の割合とTMF全体に占めるA波の割合との比(FPVA/FA)が,侵襲的左室硬さ指標ときわめてよく対応することを報告したが,この計測はやや煩雑である.今回,Dual Gate Doppler(DD)法によるPVFとTMFの同時記録から得られる指標の有用性を検討した.

対象と方法: DD法が施行された80例において,通常のパルスドプラ法でΔAdur(S-ΔAdur)を計測するとともにFPVA/FAを算出した.また,DD法によるPVFとTMFの同時記録から,ΔAdur(D-ΔAdur)と各々のA波の終了時相差(D-ΔAend)を計測した.

結果: S-ΔAdur,D-ΔAdurおよびD-ΔAendはいずれもFPVA/FAと有意に相関した(順にr=0.50, 0.51, 0.71).このうち,D-ΔAendとFPVA/FAとの相関は,他2者より有意に良好であった.対象中の20例における検者間および検者内再現性は,S-ΔAdurよりもD-ΔAdurとD-ΔAendで良好であった.

結論: DD法によるD-ΔAendは,通常のΔAdurよりも再現性よく拡張後期左室硬さを評価できると考えられた.

Purpose: The difference in duration between pulmonary venous (PV) atrial systolic reversal wave (PVA) and atrial systolic wave (A) of transmitral flow (ΔAdur) reflects the late-diastolic left ventricular (LV) operating stiffness and has a limitation on reproducibility. Using the Dual Gate Doppler technique, simultaneous recording of PV and transmitral flows can be obtained, which may contribute to improving the accuracy and reproducibility of ΔAdur measurements.

Methods and Results: We examined 80 patients who underwent echocardiography using Dual Gate Doppler recording. Using the conventional Doppler recording, we measured the difference in duration between the PVA and transmitral A-wave (S-ΔAdur). Additionally, the ratio of the time–velocity integral (TVI) of the PVA to that of the whole PV flow (FPVA) and the ratio of the TVI in transmitral A-wave of the whole transmitral flow (FA) were calculated, and FPVA/FA was obtained as an index of LV operating stiffness. From the Dual Gate Doppler recording of PV and transmitral flows, we measured ΔAdur (D-ΔAdur) and time from the end of transmitral A-wave to the end of PVA (D-ΔAend).

Results: Each of S-ΔAdur, D-ΔAdur, and D-ΔAend significantly correlated with FPVA/FA (r=0.50, 0.51, and 0.71, respectively), and the correlation between FPVA/FA and D-ΔAend was significantly greater than that between FPVA/FA and S-ΔAdur and between FPVA/FA and D-ΔAdur (p<0.001 for both). The intraclass correlation coefficients for the inter- and intra-observer comparisons were excellent for D-ΔAend, adequate for D-ΔAdur, and fair for S-ΔAdur.

Conclusion: Dual Gate Doppler-derived D-ΔAend has higher reproducibility and usefulness for assessing late-diastolic LV operating stiffness than the conventional Doppler-derived S-ΔAdur.
