Atrioventricular and Ventricular Functional Interdependence in Individuals Without Overt Cardiac Disease

Background Left atrial (LA) and right ventricular (RV) performance play an integral role in the pathophysiology and prognosis of heart failure. We hypothesized that subclinical left ventricular dysfunction adversely affects LA/RV geometry and function even in a preclinical setting. This study aimed...

description Background Left atrial (LA) and right ventricular (RV) performance play an integral role in the pathophysiology and prognosis of heart failure. We hypothesized that subclinical left ventricular dysfunction adversely affects LA/RV geometry and function even in a preclinical setting. This study aimed to investigate the atrioventricular and ventricular functional interdependence in a community‐based cohort without overt cardiovascular disease. Methods and Results Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS), RV free‐wall longitudinal strain and LA phasic strain were assessed by speckle‐tracking echocardiography in 1080 participants (600 men; 62±12 years) between 2014 and 2018. One hundred and forty‐three participants (13.2%) had an abnormal LVGLS (>−18.6%). LA reservoir strain, conduit strain, and RV free‐wall longitudinal strain were significantly decreased in abnormal LVGLS group compared with normal LVGLS group (all P<0.001). LA and RV dysfunction (LA reservoir strain<31.4% and RVLS>−19.2%) were present in 18.9% and 19.6% of participants with abnormal LVGLS. Decreased LVGLS was associated with worse LA reservoir strain, conduit strain and RV free‐wall longitudinal strain (standardized β=−0.20, −0.19 and 0.11 respectively, all P<0.01) independent of cardiovascular risk factors. LA and/or RV dysfunction concomitant with abnormal LVGLS carried significantly increased risk of elevated B‐type natriuretic peptide levels (>28.6 pg/mL for men and >44.4 pg/mL for women) compared with normal LVGLS (odds ratio, 2.01; P=0.030). Conclusions LA/RV dysfunction was present in 20% individuals with abnormal LVGLS and multi‐chamber impairment was associated with elevated B‐type natriuretic peptide level, which may provide valuable insights for a better understanding of atrioventricular and ventricular interdependence and possibly heart failure preventive strategies.
