Abstract

Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between left atrium global longitudinal strain (LA-GLS) and epicardial fat thickness (EFT) in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Material and Method: Descriptive demographic and clinical characteristics of patients were recorded. EFT was assessed by conventional echocardiography. LA-GLS was evaluated by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography. The total atrial conduction time (TACT) was evaluated by atrial tissue doppler imaging. Results: The age was significantly higher in group 1 than in group 2 (control group). EFT was significantly higher in group 1 than in group 2 (respectively, group 1; 7.5±0.5; group 2; 4.5±0.5, p<0.05) . The study found that LA-GLS was significantly lower in group 1 than in group 2 (respectively, group 1; 18.3±0.5; group 2; 22.5, p<0.05). TACT was also significantly longer in group 1 than in group 2 (respectively, group 1; 109.1±5.1 ms; group 2; 81.0±3.0 ms, p<0.05). Conclusion: EFT increased, LA-GLS values decreased and TACT has been extended in patients with paroxysmal AF. These parameters can be used for predicting AF.

Özet

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı paroksismal atriyal fibrilasyonlu (AF) hastalarda epikardiyal yağ kalınlığı (EYK) ve sol atriyum global longi- tudinal strain (SA-GLS) arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Hastaların tanımlayıcı demografik ve klinik özellikleri kaydedildi. EYK konvansiyonel ekokardiyografiyle değerlendiril- di. SA-GLS iki boyutlu speckle tracking ekokardiyografi ile değerlendirildi. Atriyal doku doppler görüntülemeyle total atriyal ileti zamanı (TAİZ) değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Grup 1’de yaş grup 2’den anlamlı olarak yüksekti. EYK değeri grup 1’de grup 2’den anlamlı olarak yüksekti (sırasıyla grup 1; 7,5±0,5; grup 2; 4,5±0,5, p<0,05). SA-GLS değeri grup 1’de grup 2’ye göre anlamlı olarak düşüktü (sırasıyla grup 1; 18,3±0,5; grup 2; 22,5, p<0,05). TAİZ değeri grup 1’de grup 2’ye göre anlamlı olarak yüksekti (sırasıyla grup 1; 109,1±5,1 ms; grup 2; 81,0±3,0 ms, p<0,05). Sonuç: Paroksismal AF’li hastalarda EYK artmış, SA-GLS değeri azalmış ve TAİZ uzamıştır. Bu parametreler AF’nin öngörülmesinde kulla- nılabilir.
