[Influence of angiotensin-induced change in afterload on hemodynamics in mitral valve insufficiency. A 2-dimensional and color-coded Doppler echocardiography study].
This study assesses the consequences of angiotensin I-induced afterload-stress on mitral regurgitation by two-dimensional and color-coded Doppler echocardiography. During continuous intravenous infusion of angiotensin I in increasing doses of 0.5, 2, and 4 micrograms/min, blood pressure increased significantly from 119 +/- 7/73 +/- 3 mm Hg up to 145 +/- 8/91 +/- 4 mm Hg (+22% resp. +25%; p less than 0.0001 resp. p less than 0.0001). Heart rate did not change significantly (84 +/- 2 min-1 resp. 88 +/- 4 min-1). The enddiastolic volume index, determined by two-dimensional echocardiography, did not change significantly (104 +/- 10 ml/m2 resp. 112 +/- 3 ml/m2), the endsystolic volume index increased from 57 +/- 10 ml/m2 to 75 +/- 13 ml/m2 (+32%; p less than 0.01), the ejection fraction fell from 47 +/- 4% to 36 +/- 4% (p less than 0.001). In the RAO-equivalent view the maximal jet-length, determined by color-coded Doppler echocardiography, increased from 2.6 +/- 0.2 cm to 3.9 +/- 0.3 cm (+50%; p less than 0.001), the maximal jet-area rose from 3.4 +/- 0.6 cm2 to 7.0 +/- 1.0 cm2 (+106%; p less than 0.001); in the parasternal long axis view the maximal jet-length increased from 2.3 +/- 0.2 cm to 3.5 +/- 0.3 cm (+52%; p less than 0.001), the maximal jet-area from 2.6 +/- 0.5 cm2 to 4.9 +/- 0.8 cm2 (+89%; p less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
