COMPARISON OF LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS INDEX AND LEFT VENTRICULAR SYSTOLIC FUNCTION AMONG PATIENTS WITH AIRWAY DISEASE.

Abstract

Background: Right Ventricular abnormalities have been identified early on, and it is common for lung issues to impact the heart. Evaluation of right ventricle role in chronic respiratory disease patients is crucial for therapy response and disease progression. In recent days, the involvement of the left ventricular system in airways disease receiving increasing attention for its recognition as critical component of many cardiovascular condition.

Methods: One hundred patients with airway disease participated in a cross-sectional study. The study received ethics committee approval, and each participant provided their informed permission. Echocardiographic evaluation was used to gather information on the efficiency with which the left heart pumps and systolic function in health care recipient with airway disease.

Result: According to the study, all individuals with airway disease had normal LV masses and LV mass indices. In contrast, the RWT is elevated in all the patients with Airway disease and additionally, it was noted that patients with airway disease have somewhat less systolic dysfunction. With a shift in left ventricular morphology, concentrated left ventricular remodeling was seen.

Conclusion: Concentric left ventricular remodeling is observed, when Left Ventricular morphology is determined by Left ventricular Mass Index along with Relative Wall Thickness. Relative Wall Thickness Appears to be the only cardiac parameter independently related to all patient with Airway disease. We also noticed that patients with Airway disease have mildly reduced systolic function with ejection fraction.
