In this study, we aimed to investigate the cardiac function parameters and clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19 before and after the Omicron variant (OV) propagation.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 88 adult patients with COVID-19 who underwent clinically indicated standard transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in intensive care wards. Patient backgrounds and information on laboratory tests, diagnostic imaging (including TTE), cardiovascular complications, and treatment were reviewed from digitalized medical records.Results: In the raw data, post-OV patients (n = 39) were relatively older, lighter in body weight, had a more frequent history of hypertension, had worse serum creatinine levels, and a lesser frequency of lung involvement and composite events (in-hospital death and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation installation), with more cardiac complications, compared with pre-OV patients (n = 49). Post-OV patients had worse left ventricular diastolic function than that of pre-OV patients, with better right ventricular function. However, in the propensity-matched adjusted data, no differences were found except lung involvement. Cumulative survival probability plots using the Kaplan-Meier method as to composite events revealed better outcome in post-OV patients when compared with pre-OV patients by the log-rank test (p = 0.027). However, this difference was not observed after background adjustment using propensity-matched data (p = 0.256).Conclusion: Although the frequencies of some clinical events and hemodynamic abnormalities seemed to vary after OV propagation in critically ill patients with COVID-19, these findings disappeared except lung involvement after the background adjustment.","PeriodicalId":44837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Echocardiography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142873120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Longitudinal strain (LS) offers distinct information from LVEF and exhibits various distribution patterns. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of LS distribution patterns in DCM.Methods: We studied 139 patients with DCM (LVEF ≤ 35%) who were admitted for heart failure (HF). LS distribution was assessed using a bull's eye map and the relative apical LS index (RapLSI), calculated by dividing apical LS by the sum of basal and mid-LS values. We evaluated the associations of LS distribution with cardiac events (cardiac death, LV assist device implantation, or HF hospitalization) and LV reverse remodeling (LVRR), as indicated by subsequent LVEF changes.Results: Twenty six (19%) and 29 (21%) patients exhibited a pattern of relatively apical impaired or preserved LS (defined by RapLSI < 0.25 or > 0.75, signifying a 50% decrease or increase in apical LS compared to other segments), and the remaining patients exhibited a scattered/homogeneously impaired LS pattern. The proportion of new-onset heart failure and LVEF differed between the three groups. During the median 595-day follow-up, patients with relatively-impaired apical LS had a higher rate of cardiac events (both log-rank p < 0.05) and a lower incidence of LVRR (both p < 0.01) compared to patients with other patterns. RapLSI was significantly associated with cardiac event rates after adjusting for age, sex, and new-onset HF or global LS.Conclusion: DCM patients with reduced EF and distinct distribution patterns of impaired LS experienced different outcomes.","PeriodicalId":44837,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Echocardiography","volume":" ","pages":"193-201"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11561091/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140050636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
