摘要
Background: Left ventricular (LV) function is a vital parameter for prognosis, therapy guidance, and follow-up of cardiovascular disease. Dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) provides an accurate analysis of global LV function. %26lt;br%26gt;Purpose: To assess the performance of DSCT in the determination of global LV functional parameters in comparison with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2D-TTE) in patients with valvular heart disease (VHD). %26lt;br%26gt;Material and Methods: A total of 111 patients (58 men, mean age 49.9 years) with known VHD and who underwent DSCT, 2D-TTE, and CMR a period of 2 weeks before undergoing valve surgery were included in this study. LV end-systolic volume (ESV), end-diastolic volume (EDV), stroke volume (SV), and ejection fraction (EF) were calculated by DSCT using the threshold-based technique, by 2D-TTE using a modified Simpson%26apos;s method, and by CMR using Simpson%26apos;s method. Agreement for parameters of LV global function was determined with the Pearson%26apos;s correlation coefficient (r) and Bland-Altman analysis. All the DSCT and CMR data-sets were assessed independently by two readers. %26lt;br%26gt;Results: Fifty of the total 111 patients had aortic VHD, 29 patients had mitral VHD, and 32 patients had mixed aortic and mitre! VHD. An excellent inter-observer agreement was seen for the assessment of global LV function using DSCT (r = 0.910-0.983) and CMR (r = 0.854-0.965). An excellent or good correlation (r = 0.93, 0.95, 0.87, and 0.71, respectively, P %26lt; 0.001) was noted between the DSCT and 2D-TTE values for EDV, ESV, SV, and EF. EDV (33.7 mL, P %26lt; 0.001), ESV (12.1 mL, P %26lt; 0.001), SV (21.2 mL, P %26lt; 0.001), and EF (1.6%, P = 0.019) were significantly overestimated by DSCT when compared with 2D-TTE. An excellent correlation (r = 0.96, 0.97, 0.91, and 0.94, respectively, P %26lt; 0.001) between DSCT and CMR was seen in the evaluation of EDV, ESV, SV, and EF. EDV (15.9 mL, P %26lt; 0.001), ESV (7.3 mL, P %26lt; 0.001), and SV (8.5 mL, P %26lt; 0.001) were significantly underestimated, but EF (1.1%, P = 0.002) was significantly overestimated by DSCT when compared with CMR. %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusion: Our study showed that DSCT measurements of global LV function using the threshold-based technique were highly reproducible and compared more favorably with CMR measurements using Simpson%26apos;s method than those of 2D-TTE using the modified Simpson%26apos;s method. DSCT enables accurate quantification of global LV function in patients with VHD.
