[LONGITUDINAL SEGMENTAL SHIFT OF THE LEFT VENTRICULUS WALLS IN PATIENTS, SUFFERING THE AORTAL VALVE STENOSIS]
Abstract:
In patients, suffering the aortal valve (AV) stenosis, the shift of middle and apical parts of all left ventriculus (LV) walls and basal parts of anterior--septa, anterior, posterior and inferior walls almost do not differ from those in norm. The shift of basal parts of inferior--septal and lateral walls had a tendency for lowering in comparison with such in norm. It is possible, that this phenomenon of the initial lowering of the movement amplitude in basal parts of inferior--septa and lateral walls of LV in patients, suffering the AV stenosis with preserved fraction of ejection, precedes to disorders of its hemodynamics and constitutes a predictor of the heart ejection reduction. So far, early revealing of the LV dysfunction play an important role in determination of terms of the operative intervention conduction in patients, suffering the AV stenosis.
