Speckle tracking analysis allows sensitive detection of stress cardiomyopathy in severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients

Résumé

PURPOSE: Stress cardiomyopathy is a common life-threatening complication after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We hypothesized that left ventricular (LV) longitudinal strain alterations assessed with speckle tracking could identify early systolic function impairment. METHODS: This was an observational single-center prospective pilot controlled study conducted in a neuro-intensive care unit. Forty-six patients with severe SAH with a World Federation of Neurological Surgeons grade (WFNS) ≥III were included. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed on day 1, day 3, and day 7 after the patient's admission. A cardiologist blinded to the patient's management analyzed the LV global longitudinal strain (GLS). The control group comprised normal subjects matched according to gender and age. RESULTS: On day 1 median (25th-75th percentile) GLS was clearly impaired in SAH patients compared to controls [-16.7 (-18.7/-13.7) % versus -20 (-22/-19) %, p \textless 0.0001], whereas LVEF was preserved [65 (59-70) %]. GLS was severely impaired in patients with a WFNS score of V versus III-IV [-15.6 (-16.9/-12.3) % versus -17.8 (-20.6/-15.8) %, p = 0.008]. Seventeen (37 %) patients had a severe GLS alteration (\textgreater-16 %). In these patients, GLS improved from day 1 [-12.4 (-14.8/-10.9) %] to last evaluation [-16.2 (-19/-14.6) %, p = 0.0007] in agreement with the natural evolution of stress cardiomyopathy. CONCLUSIONS: On the basis of LV GLS assessment, we demonstrated for the first time that myocardial alteration compatible with a stress cardiomyopathy is detectable in up to 37 % of patients with severe SAH while LVEF is preserved. GLS could be used for sensitive detection of stress cardiomyopathy. This is critical because cardiac impairment remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality after SAH
