Abstract

Aim: Comparative analysis of the height of atherosclerotic plaques (AP) in the descending thoracic aorta (TA) according to two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and contrast-enhanced multislice computed tomography (MSCT).

Material and methods: The TA was examined using 2D, 3D TEE and contrast-enhanced MSCT in 34 patients (20 men and 14 women aged 68 [62; 71] years). AP heights were compared using the Bland-Altman method and the Spearman correlation analysis. This was a blinded comparative study which assessed the AP morphometry using each of the radiation modalities without knowing the results of the method being compared.

Results: 100 APs were examined in the descending TA. The mean height of all analyzed APs in the descending TA was 2.2 mm [2; 2.7] for 2D TEE, 3.1 mm [2.7; 3.55] for 3D TEE, and 3.05 mm [2.55; 3.55] for MSCT. The AP heights measured with 2D TEE was statistically significantly smaller than the heights of similar APs measured either with 3D TEE or MSCT. The mean difference (bias) was 0.88±0.34 mm between 2D and 3D TEE, and 0.83±0.41 mm between 2D TEE and MSCT. The correlation coefficients for the AP heights were r=0.87 (p<0.001) between 2D and 3D TEE and r=0.86 (p<0.001) between 2D TEE and MSCT. There were no differences in the height of similar APs between 3D TEE and MSCT.

Conclusion: The three-dimensional reconstruction of AP in the TA by TEE is more accurate for quantitative assessment of AP than a two-dimensional study.

成像模式在胸主动脉动脉粥样硬化斑块定量评估中的作用。
目的:根据二维(2D)和三维(3D)经食道超声心动图(TEE)以及对比增强多层计算机断层扫描(MSCT)对降主动脉(TA)中动脉粥样硬化斑块(AP)的高度进行比较分析:使用二维、三维 TEE 和对比增强 MSCT 对 34 名患者(男性 20 人,女性 14 人,年龄 68 [62; 71] 岁)的 TA 进行了检查。使用 Bland-Altman 方法和 Spearman 相关性分析比较了 AP 高度。这是一项盲法比较研究,在不了解比较方法结果的情况下,使用每种放射模式对 AP 形态学进行评估:在降序TA中检查了100个AP。二维 TEE、三维 TEE 和 MSCT 所分析的 TA 降支动脉 AP 的平均高度分别为 2.2 毫米 [2; 2.7]、3.1 毫米 [2.7; 3.55]和 3.05 毫米 [2.55; 3.55]。二维 TEE 测量的 AP 高度在统计学上明显小于三维 TEE 或 MSCT 测量的类似 AP 高度。二维和三维 TEE 之间的平均差(偏差)为 0.88±0.34 毫米,二维 TEE 和 MSCT 之间的平均差(偏差)为 0.83±0.41 毫米。二维和三维 TEE 之间 AP 高度的相关系数为 r=0.87 (p<0.001),二维 TEE 和 MSCT 之间的相关系数为 r=0.86 (p<0.001)。结论:结论:TEE 对 TA AP 的三维重建比二维研究更能准确定量评估 AP。

期刊介绍: “Kardiologiya” (Cardiology) is a monthly scientific, peer-reviewed journal committed to both basic cardiovascular medicine and practical aspects of cardiology. As the leader in its field, “Kardiologiya” provides original coverage of recent progress in cardiovascular medicine. We publish state-of-the-art articles integrating clinical and research activities in the fields of basic cardiovascular science and clinical cardiology, with a focus on emerging issues in cardiovascular disease. Our target audience spans a diversity of health care professionals and medical researchers working in cardiovascular medicine and related fields. The principal language of the Journal is Russian, an additional language – English (title, authors’ information, abstract, keywords). “Kardiologiya” is a peer-reviewed scientific journal. All articles are reviewed by scientists, who gained high international prestige in cardiovascular science and clinical cardiology. The Journal is currently cited and indexed in major Abstracting & Indexing databases: Web of Science, Medline and Scopus. The Journal''s primary objectives Contribute to raising the professional level of medical researchers, physicians and academic teachers. Present the results of current research and clinical observations, explore the effectiveness of drug and non-drug treatments of heart disease, inform about new diagnostic techniques; discuss current trends and new advancements in clinical cardiology, contribute to continuing medical education, inform readers about results of Russian and international scientific forums; Further improve the general quality of reviewing and editing of manuscripts submitted for publication; Provide the widest possible dissemination of the published articles, among the global scientific community; Extend distribution and indexing of scientific publications in major Abstracting & Indexing databases.
