Popis: Background Evaluation of right ventricle (RV) function and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) during stress, plays an important role in identifying worse prognosis for patients with chronic mitral regurgitation (MR) and may help to optimise the time of surgical interventions. Purpose The aim of the study was to evaluate changes of RV function and systolic PAP in patients with asymptomatic primary MR during stress echocardiography. Methods Resting and stress (veloergometry as per protocol 25 + 25 W every 3 minutes) echocardiography were performed in 63 asymptomatic patients (age 56.12 ± 13.97 years) with preserved left ventricle (LV) ejection fraction (EF) (>50%) at rest. 39 (61.9%) patients with moderate (grade 2-3) MR (MR group) and 24 (38.1%) patients without significant heart valves disease (control group) were included in the study. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS 20.0 software. The value of p Results Anthropometric and clinical characteristics, LV EF (64.96 ± 9.14% vs. 64.87 ± 6.46%, p = 0.97) and LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) (-19.24± 3.12% vs. -19.28 ± 3.36%, p = 0.055) at rest were not significantly different between MR and control groups. Diameter of RV was larger in MR group (36.07 ± 5.34 mm vs. 33.13 ± 3.48 mm) however difference was not significant (p = 0.971). Parameters of RV function (longitudinal myocardial velocity - S’, fractional area change (FAC) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)) were similar in both groups at rest, during stress and at recovery phase (Picture 1). However TAPSE and S’ at rest (p = 0.037 and p = 0.205, respectively) and minimal stress (p = 0.006 and p = 0.035, respectively) were significantly lower in patients with MR who had highly increased (>60 mmHg) systolic PAP during stress. Also TAPSE (p = 0.002) and S’ (p = 0.017) during recovery phase were significantly lower in subjects with reduced LV contractile reserve (whom LV EF increased Conclusions Patients with asymptomatic moderate primary mitral regurgitation had higher systolic PAP during stress even though at rest it was similar as in controls. Prominent severe pulmonary hypertension during stress was related to worsening parameters of RV function. Abstract P293 Figure. Parameters of RV during stress
