dc.description.abstractObjective: Impairment in left ventricular (LV) function due to excessive ventricular extrasystoles (VESs) occurs during long-time follow-up. Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) has been shown to be superior to conventional methods for evaluating cardiac functions. We aimed to use STE for early detection of LV dysfunction in patients with apparently normal hearts who have frequent VESs. Methods: Fifty-five patients with frequent VESs were identified according to the Lown classification (Grade 2; unifocal more than 30 times in 1 h). Subjects aged 22-60 years with frequent VESs that had been detected for at least 1 year were included in the study according to the inclusion criteria. Forty-five subjects with similar demographic characteristics, but without VESs, were included as the control group. All participants were evaluated by STE. Results: Fifty-five patients with frequent VESs (mean age 47 years, range 22-60 years; 42.2% male) and 45 control subjects (mean age 46 years, range 22-60 years; 37.8% male) were enrolled in the study. Global LV longitudinal strain (GLS) was decreased in patients with frequent VESs (-18.41 +/- 3.37 and -21.82 +/- 2.43; p<0.001). In addition, global LV circumferential strain was decreased in patients with frequent VESs (-16.83 +/- 6.06, -20.51 +/- 6.02; p<0.001). The frequency and exposure time of VESs were negatively correlated with GLS (r=-0.398, p<0.001; r=-0.191, p=0.001, respectively). Conclusion: STE revealed that LV functions were decreased in patients with VESs. This deterioration increased with the frequency and exposure time of VESs. Impairment of LV function due to excessive VESs occurs during long-time follow-up. STE may be used for early detection of LV dysfunction.
