| Summary: | Background : Advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is characterized by progressive pulmonary hypertension leading to right heart dysfunction, which plays a Important role in clinical evaluation but remains difficult and challenging to quantify. The noninvasive doppler echocardiographic value referred to as the Tei index has been suggested as a simple, reproducible and reliable parameter of the right ventricular function. The purpose of this was to assess the right ventricular function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease using the Tei index and to evaluate its relationship with the pulmonary functional status. Methods : The study population comprised of 26 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 10 normal control subjects. The Tei index was obtained by dividing the sum of the isovolumetric contraction and the relaxation times by the ejection time using a pulsed-wave doppler. It was compared with the other available Doppler echocardiographic parameters of systolic or diastolic function and with the pulmonary function of the patients. Results : The Tei indices of the patients with COPD were significantly higher than those of normal subjects($0.45{\pm}0.17$ vs. $0.27{\pm}0.03$, p<0.01). The isovolumetric contraction time/ejection time($0.32{\pm}0.08$ vs. $0.25{\pm}0.05$, p<0.05), the isovolumetric relaxation time/ejection time($0.29{\pm}0.16$ vs. $0.15{\pm}0.08$, p<0.05)and the preejection period/ejection time ($0.46{\pm}0.10$ vs. $0.38{\pm}0.06$, p<0.05) were prolonged and the ejection time ($255.2{\pm}32.6$ vs. $314.2{\pm}16.5$ msec, p<0.05) was significantly shortened in patients with COPD compared to normal subjects. The tei indices were inversely correlated with the $FEV_1$ (r=-0.46, p<0.05) and were prolonged significantly in patients with a severe obstructive ventilatory dysfunction(less than 35% of predicted $FEV_1$) compared to those with a mild and moderate ventilatory dysfunction. The tei indices showed an inverse correlation to with the ejection time (r=-0.469), the isovolumetric contraction time/ejection time(r=0.453), the isovolumetric relaxation time/ejection time(r=0.896) and the preejection period/ejection time(r=0.480). Conclusion : The tei index appeared to be a useful noninvasive means of evaluating the right ventricular function. It revealed a significant correlation with the pulmonary function in patients with COPD. 연구배경 : 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환 기능의 평가를 위해서 여러 가지 비침습적, 침습적 방법이 이용되나 그 정확도나 실용성에 있어서 한계가 있었다. 최근 도플러 심초음파상의 수축기, 이완기 및 박출시간을 조합한 기능지수인 Tei 지수가 우심실기능을 평가하는 유용한 방법으로 알려지고 있어 저자 등은 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환 환자의 Tei 지수를 구하여 우심실 기능을 평가하고 폐기능검사와의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환 환자 26예와 대조군 10예을 대상으로 간헐파 도플러를 이용하여 도플러 간격을 측정하였다. Tei 지수는 등용성 수축시간(ICT)과 등용성 이완시간(IRT)의 합을 박출시간(ET)으로 나누어 구하였고, PEP, ICT/ET, PEP/ET, IRT/ET를 측정하여 환자군과 대조군을 비교하였다. 폐기능과 Tei 지수의 상관관계를 구하였고, Tei 지수와 다른 도플러 간격의 상관관계를 알아보았다. 결 과 : Tei 지수는 환자군에서 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가되어 있었고($0.45{\pm}0.17$ vs. $0.27{\pm}0.03$, p<0.01), ICT/ET ($0.32{\pm}0.08$ vs. $0.25{\pm}0.05$, p<0.05), PEP/ET ($0.46{\pm}0.10$ vs. $0.38{\pm}0.06$, p<0.05), IRT/ET ($0.29{\pm}0.16$ vs. $0.15{\pm}0.15$, p&0.05) 등은 대조군보다 증가되어 있었으며 박출시간은 단축되어있었다($255.2{\pm}32.6$ vs. $314.2{\pm}16.5$, p<0.05). 환자군에서 Tei 지수는 1초간 노력성 호기량과 역상관성을 보였고 (r=-0.469), 중증 폐기능 장애가 있는 3기 환자는 1기나 2기 환자에 비해 Tei 지수가 증가되어 있었다. 환자군에서 Tei 지수는 박출시간과 역상관성을 보였고 (r=-0.469), ICT/ET(r=0.453), PEP/ET(r=0.480), IRT(r=0.812), IRT/ET(r=0.896) 는 Tei 지수와 유의한 상관관계가 있었다. 결 론 : Tei 지수는 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환 환자에서 정상 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가되어 있으며 폐기능 지표와도 유의한 연관성을 보여 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환 환자의 우심실 기능을 평가하는데 유용한 검사법으로 사료된다. |
