Abstract

AIM: Basal septal hypertrophy (BSH) which is one of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction reasons is thought to be developed by increased ventricular dynamics. The aim of the present study was to compare pressure gradients in LVOT, BSH degree and LVOT diameter degree at peak pharmacologic stress in hypertensive patients with BSH and normal controls. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Dobutamine stress was used in 15 patients (mean age 55±8 years; 10 women) with basal septal hypertrophy and the values were compared with those in 15 normal controls (mean age 54±10 years; 7 women). Ejection fraction and myocardial mass, basal septum dimension, LVOT diameter were detected using 2 dimensional echocardiography in both groups. LVOT velocities before and at peak dobutamine infusion were determined. RESULTS: There were no differences in mean ejection fraction and myocardial mass between BSH patients (59±2%, 228±29g) and normals (57±5%, 209±37g) respectively. Basal septum was thicker in patients (1.56±0.19cm) than normals (1.03±0.11cm, p<0.001). Peak LVOT velocities were similar in BSH (1.3±0.4m/s) and normals (1.1±0.2m/s) at rest. At peak stress, peak LVOT velocities and pressure gradients were higher in BSH (3.1±0.7m/s, 39.7±17.1mmHg) than normals (1.7±0.4m/s, 12.2±5.5mmHg, respectively, p<0.001). Double product of systolic BP and heart rate at peak stress was greater in BSH (26538 ±5257) than normals (23290±2764, p<0.05). CONCLUSION: High pressure gradients markedly appeared in the LVOT at peak pharmacologic stress in the BSH patients with hypertension comparing control group suggesting dynamic ventricular ejection by stress may be contributing on hypertrophy induction of basal segment which is the closest part of septum to increased afterload.

Özet

AMAÇ: Bazal septum hipertrofisi (BSH) sol ventrikül (SV) çıkış yolu daralması nedenlerinden olup artmış SV dinamiklerine bağlı geliştiği düşünülür. Çalışmamızda BSH'li hipertansif hastalarda bazal septum hipertrofisi, SV çıkış yolu darlığı ve pik farmakolojik streste SV çıkış yolu basınç gradientlerinin kontrol grubuyla karşılaştırılması planlandı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Dobutamin stres 15 BSH'li hasta (55±8 yaş; 10 kadın) ve 15 normal kontrol gurubuna (54±10 yaş; 7 kadın) uygulandı. Ejeksiyon fraksiyonu, SV kitlesi, bazal septum kalınlığı, SV çıkış yolu boyutu her iki grupta 2 boyutlu ekokardiyografi ile değerlendirildi. SV çıkış yolu akım hızları dobutamin infüzyonu öncesi ve pik sırasında her iki grupta saptandı. BULGULAR: Ortalama ejeksiyon fraksiyonu ve SV kitle BSH'li grupta (sırasıyla %59±2, 228±29gr) ve kontrol grubunda (sırasıyla %57±5, 209±37gr) benzerdi. Bazal septum hasta grubunda (1.56±0.19cm) normale (1.03±0.11cm) göre daha kalındı (p<0.001). İstirahatte SVÇY maksimum akım hızları BSH'li hastalarla (1.3±0.4m/sn) ve normal grupta (1.1±0.2m/sn) benzerdi. Pik streste SV çıkış yolu ortalama maksimum akım hızı ve gradienti BSH'li hastalarda (sırasıyla 3.1±0.7m/sn, 39.7±17.1mmHg) normale (1.7±0.4m/sn, 12.2±5.5mmHg) göre daha yüksek saptandı (p<0.001). Sistolik kan basıncı ve kalp hızının çift ürünü pik streste BSH'li hastalarda (26538±5257) normale (23290±2764) göre daha yüksekti (p<0.05). SONUÇ: Çalışmamızda BSH gelişmiş hipertansif hastalarda kontrol grubuna göre pik farmakolojik streste SV çıkış yolu basınç gradientleri belirgin artmış, stresle dinamik bir ventriküler ejeksiyonun artmış ön yüke en yakın septum kısmı olan bazal segmentte hipertrofinin indüklenmesine katkıda bulunabileceğini düşündürmüştür.
