OBJECTIVE: Pulmonary hypertension (PHT) exacerbates the functions of both ventricles. This prospective, randomised study was planned to investigate the effects of PHT on kinetics of both ventricles and the septum.
METHODS: Twenty-five patients were randomly selected among the patients who had been planned to undergo mitral valve replacement (MVR) because of isolated mitral stenosis and divided into two groups according to their preoperative pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) values. Blood pool gated single photon emission tomography (BPGS) and transthoracic echocardiography were performed. Ventricles' regional, global and functional parameters were also assessed by using pulsed wave Doppler tissue imaging (DTI).
RESULTS: Preoperative and postoperative PAP of the group 1 (PAP < 50 mmHg) were 40.0 ± 2.8 and 30.0 ± 2.6 mmHg (p = 0.03), group 2 (PAP ≥ 50 mmHg) were 71.9 ± 4.7 and 50.6 ± 3.5 mmHg (p < 0.05). The global right and left ventricle scores were decreased after the operation. The decrement was only significant in group 2. Considering the septal kinetics, right ventricle septal score was decreased from 7.6 to 3.3 (p < 0.05) in group 1, from 3.8 to 1.6 (p < 0.05) in group 2 postoperatively.
CONCLUSION: Following MVR, a decrement in PAP values, and an improvement in ventricular function, especially in the right ventricular and septal kinetics were achieved. Furthermore, it was found that both DTI and BPGS techniques are beneficial to investigate the functional changes postoperatively and in the follow-up period of the patients who undergo mitral valve surgery.
