To study the application of ultrasonic cardiogram in evaluation of incidence rates and right cardiac function of Sjogrens syndrome (SS) patients combined with pulmonary hypertension (PH).
Methods:
A total of 88 SS patients (9 cases of PH and 79 cases of non-PH) were selected. The
values of right ventricular end diastolic diameter (RVDd)
left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVDd)
right atrial diameter (RAD)
main pulmonary artery diameter (MPAD)
right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF)
left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP)
acceleration time (AT)
right ventricular pre-ejection period (RPEP)
RPEP/AT and Tei index between the two groups were compared.
Results:
Compared with non-PH group
RVDd and RAD in PH group were enlarged
MPAD was widened
and RVEF was decreased significantly (
P
0.05). No significant differences were found in LVDd and LVEF between PH group and no-PH group. Moreover
AT was shortened
RPEP/AT was increased
and Tei index was decreased in PH group compared with non-PH group (
P
0.05).
Conclusion:
Ultrasonic cardiogram maybe helpful in diagnosis of SS patients combined with PH at an early stage.
