Abstract
Objective: The aims of this study were to evaluate atrial electromechanical delay (AEMD) of patients
with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in acute and stable periods1-3 and echocardiographic
changes of these patients.
Patients and Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study. Setting: Kars Harakani State Hospital Subjects:
45(22 females, 23 males) patients with acute COPD exacerbation and the control group was stable
period of the same patients. Interventions: The first echocardiography was performed in the first
24 hours. The second echocardiographic examination was performed after 3-month. Main outcome
measures: Atrial conduction times and systolic-diastolic functions of the right-left heart were evaluated
conventional and tissue Doppler Imaging. Plasma levels of CAR and other inflammatory markers
were recorded. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS software.
Results: At the end of 3-month, lateral/tricuspid, lateral/mitral and septal AEMD were significantly
reduced; right ventricle basal, mid and vertical diameters, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion,
Amax tricuspid, tricuspid regurgitant velocity, systolic pulmonary arterial pressure and systolic
motion tricuspid; left atrium diameter, left ventricle end-diastolic diameter, interventricular septum
thickness, mitral Ea/Aa ratio, systolic motion mitral, systolic motion septal and heart rate differed;
CRP, CAR, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio were significantly reduced.
Keywords
