[Changes in the relaxation and compliance of the left ventricle in cardiomyopathy].

In order to study the left ventricular diastolic events in cardiomyopathy, carotid pulse tracing, electrocardiogram, phonocardiogram and apexcardiogram with its first derivatives (dA/dt) were simultaneously recorded in 240 normal subjects, 30 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and 44 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Total relaxation time (TRT), total relaxation time index (TRTI), the ratio of A wave to total diastolic amplitude in apexcardiogram (A/D), diastolic amplitude time index (DATI), the ratio of RF wave in apexcardiogram to the total amplitude of apex tracing (F/H) and the variables reflecting the diastolic properties were measured to evaluate the left ventricular relaxation and compliance. Meanwhile, two variables reflecting the contractile ability of the left ventricle were measured in order to compare with the diastolic events. The results demonstrated that in normal subjects relaxation and compliance of the left ventricle showed a tendency of natural "decay" with aging and in patients with DCM and HCM these were significantly decreased, especially in patients with HCM. A/D, which reflects the left ventricular compliance, was increased in patients with HCM as compared with normal subjects (P less than 0.01) and also with patients with DCM. It means that a greater A/D is in favor of the diagnosis of HCM rather than DCM. In addition to abnormal diastolic events, systolic dysfunction, as evidenced by remarkable abnormalities of the contractile variables (PEP/LVET and R-dA/dt.I), was found as well in patients with DCM.
