Özet
Aim: Recent research has demonstrated that the contractile characteristics of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) play a significant role in right ventricular function. Pulmonary annular motion velocity (PAMVUT) is a reliable marker of RVOT function. Also, combined systolic velocity [PAMVUT added to tricuspid annular systolic velocity (St)] has been revealed as a suitable parameter for right ventricular systolic function. In this study, we examined the association between the severity of the illness in cirrhotic patients and the combined S velocities (CSV). Methods: Seventy-four patients with cirrhosis went to the echocardiography laboratory of the Cardiology Department in our centre. Traditional echocardiographic measurements, PAMVUT and CSV values were recorded. The Child-Pugh classes of the patients were determined. Results: Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that a CSV of 23 cm/s constituted the cut-off value for predicting a moderate-to-severe form of cirrhosis with 76% sensitivity and 65.3% specificity (area uder the curve = 0.735, p < 0.001). Conclusion: CSV values could predict the severity of cirrhosis more precisely than traditional right ventricular systolic function parameters.
