Disruption of the ventricular myocardial force-frequency relationship after cardiac surgery in children: noninvasive assessment by means of tissue Doppler imaging

Abstract

Impaired ventricular function after cardiopulmonary bypass and surgical repair remains a commonly encountered clinical problem. We hypothesized that the well-described impairment of calcium cycling after cardiac surgery would significantly affect the ventricular myocardial force-frequency relationship, which can be measured noninvasively by using the tissue Doppler echocardiography-derived index of contractility isovolumic acceleration. Children undergoing repair of congenital heart defects were studied. Rate-related changes in contractility were measured by means of simultaneous atrial pacing and tissue Doppler echocardiography preoperatively and postoperatively. Although closure of atrial septal defect did not affect ventricular myocardial systolic performance, closure of ventricular septal defect lead to a marked postoperative decrease of basal contractile force (2.0 +/- 0.7 m/s2 preoperatively vs 1.0 +/- 0.7 m/s2 postoperatively, P < .02). Furthermore, the force-frequency relationship curves were significantly different (P < .001), with a reduced force-rate trajectory, and also peak force was attained. Neonates undergoing the arterial switch procedure showed the most marked postoperative decrease of isovolumic acceleration ...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
