摘要
前言
高血压是常见的心血管疾病,长期周围血管阻力升高,心肌细胞肥大,间质纤维增生,使左心室肥厚扩大。原发性高血压无彻底治疗史的几何构型的最高风险发生在左室向心性肥厚病人,中等风险发生在向心性重构和离心性肥厚病人,正常左室构型病人的风险性最低。预防和改善心肌重构是高血压病治疗的重要目标。
传统二维超声心动图通过观察心腔大小、室壁厚度、室壁运动和室壁回声的异常变化,可以了解心脏大体结构及功能状态,但是无法确定心肌组织病理改变。超声心肌背向散射技术是通过心肌声学特性的改变来判断心肌细微组织病理变化的方法,可以利用组织声学特征来研究组织的物理特征。本研究应用超声心动图测得不同左室构型心肌背向散射参数变化,探讨不同构型左室心肌的细微组织病理改变而引起的心肌声学特性的变化。

Preface
Hypertension is one of the commonest cardiovascular diseases. The left ventricle ( LV) of hypertension patients is generally thought to adapt to sustained arterial hypertension by developing hypertrophy and remodeling. The prognosis is related to LV pattern and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) . The highest risk occurred in those with concentric hypertrophy and the lowest risk occurred in those with normal left ventricular geometry; the risk was intermediate for patients with concentric remodeling and eccentric hypertrophy. To prevent and improve ventricular remodeling was an important target.
Although conventional echocardiography is particularly useful in providing fundamental information about heart structure, morphology and function by observing the size of heart chambers and the thickness, echo level or moving of LV wall, it cant evaluate myocardial pathologic changes. Ultrasonic myocardial integrated backscatter technology can detect physical and pathologic changes of myocardial tissue according to myocardial tissue acoustic characterization. Ultrasonic tissue characterization consists of the identification of the abnormalities in the physical or physiological state of biological structures based on analyzing interactions between ultrasound and tissue. In this study we
evaluate the clinical application of ultrasonic backscatter parameters to assessment of the lesion of myocardium in patients with hypertension by different LV remodeling.
Materials
Date were obtained from 146 patients (males 95,females 51 ,age 51. 6 ± 12.3 years) with essential hypertension. Hypertensive patients had systolic blood pressure ( BP) > 160 mmHg or diastolic BP ^ 95 mmHg. Patients were divided into four groups, according to the values of LVMI and relative wall thickness ( RWT) : Normal LV( group 1) , concentric remodeling ( group 2 ) , concentric hypertrophy ( group 3 ) and eccentric hypertrophy ( group 4). A control group of 32 normal subjects (males 22,females 10,age 52. 2 ± 10. 3 years) who had BP < 140/90 mmHg was also studied.
For all patients, echocardiography measures were performed with the instrument of Hewlett-Packard Sonos-5500 with IBS analysis software with a 2 ~ 4 MHz phased array transducer.
Methods
Twb-dimensional images were obtained in the parasternal left ventricle long-axis views in both patients and control subjects. Left ventricular end-diastolic diameters (LVID) and wall thickness were measured. Left ventricular mass(LVM) and LVMI were calculated by the Pennfc formula.
Integrated backscatter system preset and data acquisition; Switching on AD-IBS procedure, we preset the instrument settings of gain,
depth, LGC and TGC. We respectively acquired digital integrated backscatter (IBS) image sequences of the ventricular septum and the LV posterior wall from the parasternal long-axis view.
Statistical analysis. All data presented as mean value ± SD. Data acquired was analyzed by EXCELL 2000 and SPSS 8.0 software.
Results
1. Clinical and echocardiographic characteristics of normal and hypertensive subjects. There were no statistical differences in age, gender, body surface area or body mass index between hypertensive and normal subjects either in the entire study group.
Compared with the normal subjects, hypertensive patients had significantly higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure, LV wall thickness, LVM and LVMI.
2. Patterns of left ventricular geometry. Of the 146 hypertensive patients,64 were in group 1,18 were in group 2,20 were in group 3 and 44 were in group 4. While LVMI was the highest in group 3 (176.13 ±75. 00 g/m2) and also high in group 4 (156.41 ±44.15 g/ m2) and group 2 (103. 07 ± 10. 80 g/m2).
RWT was the highest in group 3(0.53 ±0.08) and also high in group 2(0.48 ±0.04 ) (P < 0.01). LVID was the highest in group 4(5.76 ±0.50 cm) and also high in group 3(5. 01 ±0.71cm) (P<0.01). Total peripheral resistance was the highest in group 2(4.68 ±0. 60 kPa ?s/1) and high in group 3 (4. 23 ±1. 36 kPa ?s/1) and group 1 (4
