Avaliação de Índices de Função Sistólica do Ventrículo Esquerdo em Canis lupus familiaris por Técnica de Ecocardiografia Doppler

Abstract

Cardiac function is strongly determined by heart's myo-architecture, so that the study of the relationship morphology-ventricular function in mammals is of great importance in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. Cardiac volumes evaluation throughout the cardiac cycle is of fundamental importance for the study of ventricular function and to define the hemodynamic patterns. The objective was to analyze echocardiographic left ventricular systolic function indices in 25 dogs (Cannis lupus familiaris), applying different methodologies such as M mode, 2D, tissue Doppler and contrast echocardiography. Also contrast ultrasound was used to improve endocardium border definition and to increase ventricular volumes calculation accuracy, as better systolic and diastolic ventricular global and regional function. The results were subjected to statistical analysis with Analyze-it software. Different systolic function indices were calculated such as fractional shortening, ejection fraction and systolic tissue velocity. Tissue Doppler did show to be a strong and reliable method to assess systolic function. Contrast left ventricular opacification improved ventricular border endocardium definition, and allowed statistical significance ejection fraction assessment. Because all three used methods really evaluate different aspects of systolic function, radial, circumferential and longitudinal ventricular function, they cannot be compared side by side.

A função cardíaca é fortemente condicionada pela mioarquitectura do coração, pelo que o estudo da relação morfologia-função ventricular nos mamíferos é de grande importância no diagnóstico e tratamento de patologias cardíacas. O cálculo dos volumes cardíacos durante todo o ciclo cardíaco tem uma importância fundamental para o estudo da função ventricular e para a definição dos padrões hemodinâmicos. Foi objectivo deste trabalho, o estudo de índices de função sistólica ventricular esquerda, em 25 cães (Cannis lupus familiaris), através da utilização de diferentes técnicas ecocardiográficas, como o Modo M, ecocardiografia bidimensional, Doppler tecidular e a ecocardiografia de contraste. Foi utilizado contraste ultrasonográfico, para melhorar a definição do endocárdio e possibilitar maior rigor no cálculo dos volumes ventriculares, e na avaliação da função ventricular sisto-diastólica global e regional. Os resultados apresentados foram sujeitos a tratamento estatístico com software Analyze-it. O Doppler tecidular mostrou ser um método robusto para avaliar a função sistólica. A ecocardiografia de contraste permitiu não só obter uma melhor definição endocárdica, como obter valores de fracção de ejecção com diferença estatisticamente significativa. Como os três métodos utilizados avaliam diferentes aspectos da função sistólica, função ventricular radial, circunferencial e longitudinal, não podem ser comparados directamente entre si.
