[Factors affecting parameters of left ventricular diastolic function derived from Doppler echocardiography].

According to the data from left ventricular catheterization as well as M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography in 36 patients, the influence of left ventricular diameter, systolic function, systolic and diastolic filling pressures on the parameters of left ventricular diastolic function derived from Doppler echocardiography was analysed. The results indicate: (1) the left ventricular end diastolic pressure, rapid filling wave pressure and the ratio of the both significantly affect the Doppler diastolic function parameters; (2) the decrease of the ratio of early-to-late diastolic mitral flow velocities (E/A) is only a manifestation of early stage of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and the E/A ratio returns to normal (false improving) at advanced stage of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.

[Cost-effectiveness analysis of two-dimensional/Doppler echocardiography, cardiac catheterization and angiography in the diagnosis of congenital heart disease].

To compare the costs and effectivenesses of 2-dimensional/Doppler echocardiography (2D/DE), cardiac catheterization (CC) and angiography (CA) in the evaluation of cardiac anatomy in patients with congenital heart disease, these three kinds of examinations were performed in 100 patients before operation. The 100 patients had 120 separate cardiovascular abnormalities, of which 100 (83.3%) were prospectively identified by 2D/DE. The sensitivity and specificity of 2D/DE were: ASD, 87.9% and 100%; VSD, 97.9% and 96.1%; PDA, 86.7% and 98.2%, Tetralogy of Fallot, 6 of 6 patients; the overall sensitivity and specificity of the less common defects, 31.6% and 95.8%. Ninety-seven (80.8%) were prospectively identified by catheterization. The sensitivity and specificity of catheterization were: ASD, 87.9% and 100.0%; VSD, 80.9% and 94.6%; PDA 93.3% and 96.6%; Tetralogy of Fallot, 6 of 6 patients, the less common defects, 52.6% and 95.5%. Forty-five (81.8%) were prospectively identified by angiography in 55 patients. The sensitivity and specificity of angiography: ASD, 5 of 7 patients, VSD, 88.0% and 94.3%; PDA, 2 of 2 patients; Tetralogy of Fallot, 5 of 5 patients; the less common defects, 68.8% and 100.0%. The economic evaluations were performed. The costs of the depreciation (including equipments and houses), hospital bed, water and electricity, management and staffs' wage were: 2D/DE, RMB 46.09 per patient; catheterization, RMB 314.17 per patient; angiography, RMB 314.17. The ratios of cost to outcome (cost per correct diagnosis) of 2D/DE, CC and CA were: 55.33, 388.82 and 384.07 respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
