Abstract:

Objective

To assess the early changes of left ventricular myocardial contractional function in early chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with three-dimensional global longitudinal strain (GLS).

Methods

Twenty-six cases of CKD 2, 20 cases of CKD 3 and 30 cases of healthy subjects as control group were selected in this study. Parameters of two-dimensional echocardiography including left ventricular at end-diastole diameter (LVEDd), interventricular septal thickness at end-diastole (IVSTd), left ventricular posterior wall thickness at end-diastole (LVPWTd), end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV) and parameters of 3D-STE including three-dimensional left ventricular ejection fraction (3D-LVEF), three-dimensional LV mass index (3D-LVMi) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) were calculated and compared.

Results

Compared with the control group, IVSTd of patients in CKD 2 group increased [(9.62±2.33) mm vs (8.17±0.79) mm] while LVEDd and GLS decreased [(45.08±3.26) mm vs (47.13±3.30) mm and (-15.52±3.52)% vs (-17.20±2.15)%]; in CKD3 group, IVSTd, LVESV and 3D-LVMi increased [(11.24±1.01) mm vs (8.17±0.79) mm, (37.80±4.48) ml vs (33.53±7.00) ml and (107.90±16.31) g/m2 vs (90.70±7.75) g/m2] while LVEDd, 3D-LVEF and GLS decreased [(43.47±1.58) mm vs (47.13±3.30) mm, (57.50±2.96)% vs (60.30±3.72)% and (-9.76±3.48)% vs (-17.20±2.15)%]. Compared with the CKD 2 group, in CKD3 group, IVSTd and 3D-LVMi increased [(11.24±1.01) mm vs (9.62±2.33) mm and (107.90±16.31) g/m2 vs (94.77±10.14) g/m2] while LVEDd and GLS decreased [(43.47±1.58) mm vs (45.08±3.26) mm and (-9.76±3.48)% vs (-15.52±3.52)%] (P<0.05).

Conclusion

On the early stages of CKD, the left ventricular myocardial contractive function has reduced, which can be detected by 3D-STE with GLS.
