摘要
引言左心房(LA)的大小会因心力衰竭和衰老等心脏病变而发生变化。尽管人们已认识到左心房增大与左心室(LV)功能障碍之间存在联系,但本研究仍旨在评估在接受超声心动图诊断的大样本人群中,左心房正常大小对左心室收缩功能严重程度的负预测价值:这项回顾性队列研究于1984年至1998年在加利福尼亚大学尔湾医疗中心进行,目的是在接受诊断评估的大型队列中阐明通过M型和二维超声心动图测量的正常LA大小的阴性预测价值:结果:在对22,390例超声心动图的分析中,55.1%的超声心动图显示LA大小正常:我们的研究结果强调了正常 LA 大小作为左心室功能保留的可靠指标的临床意义。
A normal and particularly small (<35 mm) left atrial size measured during echocardiography suggests low likelihood of moderate or severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
Introduction: The left atrium (LA) size can change due to cardiac pathologies like heart failure and aging. While the link between LA enlargement and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is acknowledged, this study aims to assess the negative predictive value of normal LA size concerning the severity of LV systolic function in a large cohort undergoing diagnostic echocardiography.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study, conducted at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center from 1984 to 1998, aimed to elucidate the negative predictive value of normal LA size measured by M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography in a large cohort undergoing diagnostic assessment.
Results: In the analysis of 22,390 echocardiograms, 55.1% exhibited normal LA size (<40 mm), while 44.9% showed abnormal LA size (≥40 mm). Within the normal LA size group, only 2.4% demonstrated abnormal LV systolic function, with 1.1% mildly depressed, 0.7% moderately depressed, and 0.6% severely depressed LV function. The negative predictive value of normal LA size for abnormal LV systolic function was calculated at 97.5%, rising to 99.3% and 99.4% for moderate or severely decreased LV systolic function, respectively. In patients with small LA size (<35 mm), moderate to severely depressed LV systolic function was observed in only 0.8%, with severe LV systolic dysfunction in 0.3%, yielding an overall prevalence of 1.5% for all systolic dysfunction in the small LA size group.
Conclusion: Our findings underscore the clinical significance of normal LA size as a reliable indicator of preserved LV function.
