description Abstract Background Abnormal diastolic function is an independent predictor of adverse postoperative outcomes. Mitral annular tissue Doppler velocity (e’) is a key parameter for assessing diastolic function. The purpose of this study was to confirm that an acute increase in preload did not significantly impact the intraoperative measurement of e’ and secondarily evaluate the impact of this acute intravascular volume increase on the clinical assessment of diastolic function using a previously described simplified algorithm. Methods This was a prospective, non-randomized study in adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgeries requiring transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring, arterial pressure and Swan-Ganz catheter placements as part of the surgical procedure. Following baseline echocardiographic and hemodynamic measurements, 500 ml of crystalloid solution was infused over 10 min. Hemodynamic and echocardiographic measurements were repeated 5 min after fluid administration. Results Complete data sets were available from 84 of the 100 patients who were enrolled in this study. There was no significant change in the values of e’. The average baseline was 7.8 ± 2.0 cm/s (95%CI: 7.4, 8.2) and 8.1 ± 2.4 (95%CI: 7.6, 8.6) following the fluid bolus (p = 0.10). All hemodynamic variables associated with increased intravascular volume (central venous pressure, pulmonary arterial pressures and stroke volume variation) changed significantly. The overall distribution of diastolic function grades did not change following fluid administration (p = 0.69). However, there were many individual patient differences. When using this simplified algorithm, functional grading changed in 35 patients. Thirty of these 35 changes were only a single grade shift. 22 patients had worse functional grading after fluid administration while 13 had improved grading. Nine patients with normal diastolic function at baseline demonstrated diastolic dysfunction after fluid administration while 6 patients with baseline dysfunction normalized following the fluid bolus. Conclusion We confirmed that e’ is a robust measurement that is reproducible in the intraoperative setting despite variable vascular volume loading conditions, however, the clinical assessment of diastolic function was still altered in 42% of the patients following an intravenous fluid bolus.
