Abstract

Purpose : The object of this study was to determine the difference between two methods for myocardial performance index(MPI) in children, using the conventional and pulsed Doppler echocardiography. Methods : A total of 27 children with anatomically normal hearts were enrolled for the study. all were examined by conventional and pulsed Doppler echocardiography at Gangneung Asan Hospital between December, 2005 and February, 2006. First, we measured the time interval(a1) between the mitral inflows from apical 4-chamber view, and the ejection time(ET1) from apical 5-chamber view. And then, we calculated MPI1, isovolumic contraction time(ICT1) and isovolumic relaxation time (IRT1). Secondly, we measured ICT2, ET2 and IRT2 from apical 5-chamber view with a Dopper signal placed at just below junction between mitral and aortic valve at the same cardiac cycle. And then, we calculated MPI2. We compared MPI1 to MPI2. All MPIs were calculated by using the formula, MPI=(ICT+IRT)/ET. Results : The mean age was $5.7{\pm}2.2years$ old(M:F=15:12). The MPI2 was higher than MPI1: $0.277{\pm}0.083$ vs. $0.428{\pm}0.081$(MPI1 vs MPI2, P=0.000). Also, the ICT2 was higher than ICT1: $56{\pm}15msec$ vs $97{\pm}18msec$(ICT1 vs ICT2, P=0.000) and the IRT2 was higher than IRT1: $42{\pm}8msec$ vs $53{\pm}9msec$(IRT1 vs IRT2, P=0.000). But, the ET2 was lower than ET1: $260{\pm}16msec$ vs $254{\pm}14msec$ (ET1 vs ET2, P=0.01). There was, as well, positive linear correlation between MPI1 and MPI2. Conclusion : This study showed that there is a difference between MPI1 and MPI2 in connection with estimating methods. However, the two MPIs had a positive linear correlation. Judging from our results, the MPI of the new method might be a useful index of venticular global function in children.

목 적 : 소아를 대상으로 고식적인 심초음파와 도플러 초음파를 이용하여 서로 다른 두 방법으로 측정한 심근 수행 지수의 차이를 알아보는 것이다. 방 법 : 2005년 12월부터 2006년 2월까지 강릉 아산 병원을 방문한 정상 심장을 가진 27명의 소아를 대상으로 하였다. 우선 심첨 4방 단면도에서 승모판 유입 혈류 도플러로부터 a1간격을 측정하고, 심첨 5방 단면도에서 ET1을 측정하였다. 그런 연후, MPI1, ICT1 그리고 IRT1을 계산하였다. 두 번째로, 심첨 5방 단면도에서 승모판막과 대동맥판막 연결 부위 바로 아래에서 같은 심장 주기의 도플러영상으로부터 ICT2, ET2, IRT2를 측정하였다. 그런 연후, MPI2를 계산하였다. MPI1과 MPI2를 비교분석하였다. MPI는 MPI=(ICT+IRT)/ET의 공식을 이용하여 계산하였다. 결 과 : 평균 나이는 $5.7{\pm}2.2$세이다(남:여=15:12). MPI2가 $0.482{\pm}0.081$로 MPI1 $0.277{\pm}0.083$보다 높았다(P=0.000). 또한 ICT2가 $97{\pm}18msec$로 ICT1 $56{\pm}15msec$보다 높았고(P=0.000), IRT2가 $53{\pm}9msec$로 IRT1 $42{\pm}8msec$보다 높았다(P=0.000). 그러나, ET2는 $254{\pm}14msec$로 ET1 $260{\pm}16msec$보다 낮았다(P=0.01). MPI1과 MPI2는 좋은 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 결 론 : 이 연구에서는 측정 방법에 따라 MPI1과 MPI2의 값이 다름을 보여 주었다. 반면에 두 MPI는 좋은 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 이 결과로부터 소아에서 전체적인 심실 기능을 나타내는 지수로서 새로운 방법으로 측정된 MPI가 유용하리라 사료된다.
