Abstract

Background: Secundum type atrial septal defect (ASD) is the most common adult congenital heart disease. Hemodynamically, ASD result in a left-to-right shunt that causes right heart volume overload. This condition affects interventricular septal position and shape. Left ventricular (LV) eccentricity index (EI) suggests right ventricle (RV) overload when this ratio is >1.0. The aim of this study was to assess correlation between LV EI and mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) in secundum type ASD patients. Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study from ASD patients registry data. We enrolled subjects with secundum type ASD from the complete registry data. The LV EI was calculated from transthoracal echocardiography. The mPAP was measured by right heart catheterization as a gold standart. The correlation was performed by Spearman correlation test. Results: There were 40 adult secundum type ASD patients participated. The mean LV EI in enddiastolic was 1.55±0.39 and LV EI in end-systolic was 1.75±0.58. The median value of mPAP was 29 (12-99) mmHg. There was a moderate strength, positive and significant correlation between LV EI in end-diastolic and mPAP (r=0.37, p=0.018). The correlation was more significant and stronger between LV EI in end-systolic and mPAP (r=0.52, p=0.001). Conclusion: There was sufficiently strong and significant correlation between LV EI in both end-diastolic and end-systolic phase with mPAP in adult secundum type ASD.

Abstract

Pulmonary artery hypertension is defined as an increased in pulmonary artery pressureexceeding 25 mmHg with normal pulmonary wedge pressure. The pathogenesis of pulmonaryartery hypertension involves interaction among vascular, cellular and biomarker componentsin the pulmonary tissue; with eventual result is elevated pulmonary artery pressure. Vascularcomponents are remodeling of intimal, medial and adventitial layers. Cellular components areplayed by apoptosis-resistant endothelial cells, proliferative-prone pulmonary artery smoothmuscle cells, fibroblasts and inflammatory cells. The functional biomarkers are produced andmediated by these cellular changes, mainly endothelin-1, thromboxane, serotonin, nitric oxide,and prostacyclin. The pulmonary vascular remodeling in pulmonary artery hypertension arediverse and may present in various severity based on underlying etiology. Understanding theshared pathogenesis in pulmonary artery hypertension is of paramount importance in order toimprove the disease management and treatment approach.
