Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the changes of left ventricular(LV) systolic function in patients with essential hypertension in early stage by using the longitudinal strain(LS) index of two-dimension(2D) and three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography(3D-STE), and to explore the application value and superiority of 3D-STE. Methods: Thirty-four cases of untreated essential hypertension were collected from 45~65 years old middle-aged people in the hypertension group(H) and 34 healthy volunteers matched in age and sex were collected in the control group(C). Left ventricular posterior wall thickness at end-diastole(LVPWTd), interventricular septal thickness at end-diastole(IVSTd), relative wall thickness(RWT), and left ventricular ejection fraction(2D-EF) were measured. 2D-LS was calculated by 2D-STE. 3D-EF, LV mass index(LVMi), and 3D-LS were calculated by 3D-STE. Results: There was no significant difference in LVPWTd, IVSTd, RWT, 2D-LS, 2D-EF and 3D-EF; 3D-LS was significantly lower(P<0.05) and LVMi was significantly higher(P<0.05) in H than that in C. 3D-LS was positively correlated with 3D-EF(r=0.28, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with SBP, DBP(r=-0.39, P<0.05; r=-0.31, P<0.05). Conclusion: In the middle-aged patients with essential hypertension, the left ventricular systolic function has been reduced when the early left ventricle has not been reconstructed. 3D-LS is more sensitive than 2D-LS to evaluate the left ventricular systolic function in the early stage of hypertension.
