Abstract

Background: This study was undertaken in infant patients with isolated ventricular septal defect(VSD) to determine the effect of surgical closure on ventricular systolic time interval, as a parameter for ventricular performance, by echocardiography. Material and Method: Thirty patients were enrolled. Mean age of patients at operation was 6.5$\pm$3.2 months and all patients had non-restrictive VSD. We checked the left atrium/aorta(LA/Ao) ratio, left ventricle ejection fraction(EF), left ventricular systolic time interval(LVSTI), and right ventricular systolic time interval(RVSTI). Echocardiographic studies were done before surgical correction and postoperative periods(postopl: within 2 weeks, postop2: between 4 and 6 months, postop3: between 1 and 2 years). Result: LA/Ao ratio decreased significantly at immediate postoperative period compared to preoperative period and sustained during further follow-up period(from 1.74$\pm$0.37 to 1.36$\pm$0.24*, 1.32$\pm$0.22*, and 1.27$\pm$0.19*, p<0.01). LV EF had not changed during follow-up periods(from 65.1$\pm$7.0 to 62.3$\pm$9.5, 62.8$\pm$5.7, and 64.1$\pm$6.9). LVSTI decreased significantly at postop2 and sustained during further follow-up period (from 0.46$\pm$0.13 to 0.46$\pm$0.11, 0.37$\pm$0.08*, and 0.34$\pm$0.07*, p<0.01). RVSTI decreased significantly at postop3(0.33$\pm$0.08 to 0.32$\pm$0.08, 0.31$\pm$0.07, and 0.27$\pm$0.05*, p<0.01). Conclusion: We found that right and left ventricular systolic time intervals had decreased over the period of 1 year after surgical correction of VSD. Therefore, it is necessary to observe the change of ventricular function during that period.

배경: 단순 심실중격결손증의 수술적 교정이 심실 수행능력의 지표로 사용되는 심실 수축기 시간 간격에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 심초음파를 이용하여 심실 수축기 시간 간격을 측정하였다. 대상 및 방법: 대상 환아는 비제한성 심실중격결손을 가진 30명으로 수술 당시 환자들의 평균 나이는 6.5$\pm$3.2개월이었다. 심초음파를 이용한 추적 평가 항목은 좌심방/대동맥 내경비, 좌심실 구축율, 좌심실 수축기 시간간격 및 우심실 수축기 시간 간격을 조사하였다. 심초음파는 술 전과 술 후(술 후 첫 번째: 수술 후 2주이내, 술 후 두 번째: 수술 후 4~6개월, 술 후 세 번째: 수술 후 1~2년)에 실시하였다. 결과: 좌심방/대동맥 비는 수술 직후 감소하였으나(1.74$\pm$0.37 to 1.36$\pm$0.24*, 1.32$\pm$0.22*, and 1.27$\pm$0.19*, p<0.01:술 전과 비교), 좌심실 구축률은 추적 기간 동안 유의한 변화는 관찰되지 않았다(65.1$\pm$7.0 to 62.3$\pm$$\pm$9.5, 62.8$\pm$5.7, and 64.1$\pm$6.9 단위 %). 좌심실 수축기 시간 간격(LVPEP/LVET)은 술 후 두 번째부터 감소하기 시작하여, 지속적으로 유의한 감소 추세를 보였다(0.46$\pm$0.13 to 0.46$\pm$0.11, 0.37$\pm$0.08*, and 0.34$\pm$0.07*, p<0.01:술 전과 비교). 우심실 수축기 시간 간격(RVPEP/RVET)은 술 후 1년이 경과 한 후부터 유의한 감소를 보였다(0.33$\pm$0.08 to 0.32$\pm$0.08, 0.31$\pm$0.07, and 0.27$\pm$0.05*, p<0.01:술 전과 비교). 결론: 심실중격결손증 수술 후 심실의 수축기 시간 간격은 술 후 1년 후까지도 지속적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 이 기간동안에는 추적관찰이 필요한 것으로 생각된다.
