Myocardial Stiffness Evaluation in Patients With Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Echocardiography examination: Echocardiography examination and software post-processing analysis was performed to obtain parameters of conventional echocardiography, left atrial and left ventricle strain, and IVP.
Study summary
The goal of this observational study is to evaluating myocardial stiffness in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) by intrinsic wave velocity propagation (IVP). The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Whether myocardial stiffness assessed by IVP in patients with HFpEF Increased.
* Whether IVP is related to the cardiac structure and function in patients with HFpEF.
* What are the risk factors that may be associated with heart failure rehospitalization in patients with HFpEF?
* Whether increased myocardial stiffness is a risk factor for heart failure rehospitalization.
Participants will undergo transthoracic echocardiography to obtain conventional ultrasound parameters, and software post-processing analysis to obtained two-dimensional strain parameters and IVP, as well as general clinical data and laboratory test results. Clinical followed up was performed through electronic medical records or telephone interviews until patient rehospitalization for heart failure or discharge for one year.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- IVP — After recruiting, IVP collected through software post-processing analysis will be assessed and reported up to 8 weeks.
The propagating wave velocity along longitudinal tissue motion direction is referred to as the Intrinsic Velocity Propagation (IVP). It is generated through the dynamic nature of the heart and allows quantification in all LV segments. It is possible that this wave is related to tissue stiffness and has a radial component.
