Left ventricular global longitudinal strain is associated with filling pressures and cardiac output in an outpatient setting: Insights from the CardioMEMS TM .
Portuguese Journal of Cardiology : An Official Journal of the Portuguese Society of Cardiology 2024 August 29
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) is an indicator of myocardial function in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Nevertheless, it is not clear whether LVGLS correlates with filling pressures and cardiac output (CO) in an ambulatory setting. We aimed to assess whether LVGLS is associated with invasive pulmonary artery pressures (PAP) and CO in outpatients using the invasive remote monitoring CardioMEMS™ system.
METHODS: This single-center, prospective observational study included patients with HFrEF undergoing remote monitoring using the CardioMEMSTM system, between January 2020 and December 2022. Repeated transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) studies were performed in each patient and invasive hemodynamic data were obtained during the TTE studies using the CardioMEMSTM system. Univariate and multivariate models were used to assess the potential association between LVGLS and invasive PAP and CO.
RESULTS: Twelve patients were included and 46 TTE studies were analyzed. LVGLS was correlated with diastolic (d) PAP (r=0.403, p=0.041) and CO (r= - 0.426, p=0.039) in the univariate analysis. In multivariate models, LVGLS was an independent predictor of dPAP and CO, but not mean PAP or systolic PAP. The variation of LVGLS between TTE studies was correlated with the variation of dPAP during follow-up (r=0.60, p=0.017).
CONCLUSIONS: In a cohort of HFrEF patients under invasive hemodynamic remote monitoring, LVGLS was independently associated with invasive filling pressures and CO, in an outpatient setting. These findings reinforce the value of LVGLS for the management of outpatients with HFrEF.
