Objective To study whether Doppler echocardiography can effectively predict the left atrial pressure (LAP) in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) patients .Methods Thirty-one PAF patients underwent transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography 1 day before radiofre-quency ablation .Deceleration time of pulmonary venous diastolic flow (DTD )and deceleration time of pulmonary venous systolic flow (STD ) were measured .Relation between Doppler echocardio-graphy parameters and LAP was analyzed .Results The LAP was 14 .45 ± 7 .60 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0 .133 kPa) ,the DTD was 176 .97 ± 56 .74 ms ,the STD was 193 .97 ± 55 .17 ms .The DTD and STD were closely related with the LAP (r= -0 .63 ,r= -0 .81 ,P=0 .00) .Conclusion DTD and STD can accurately and noninvasively predict the LAP in PAF patients .%目的:探讨多普勒超声能否有效地预测阵发性心房颤动(PAF)患者的左心房压力(LAP)。方法选择PAF患者31例,导管射频消融术前1 d行经胸及经食管彩色多普勒超声检查,测左心房内径、LVEF、舒张期肺静脉血流衰减时间(DTD )、收缩期肺静脉血流衰减时间(STD )等相关参数;术中通过心导管测量LAP。对多普勒超声参数与LAP进行相关性分析。结果31例患者LAP(14.45±7.60)mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)、DTD (176.97±56.74)ms、STD (193.97±55.17)ms。DTD 和STD 与LAP呈负相关(r=-0.63,r=-0.81,P=0.00)。结论DTD 和STD 可能是简便、可靠、无创性预测PAF患者LAP的理想指标。
