Abstract

Introduction: In light of previous studies reporting the significant effects of Preeclampsia on cardiac dimensions, we sought to evaluate changes in the left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic functions in patients with Preeclampsia with a view to investigating changes in cardiac strain. Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated healthy pregnant women and pregnant women suffering from Preeclampsia who were referred to our hospital for routine healthcare services. LV strain was measured by 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography. Results: Compared with the healthy group, echocardiography in the group with Preeclampsia showed a significant increase in the LV end-diastolic diameter (47. 43 ± 4. 94 mm vs 44. 84 ± 4. 30 mm; P = 0. 008), the LV end-systolic diameter (31. 16 ± 33. 3 mm vs 29. 20 ± 3. 75 mm; P = 0. 008), and the right ventricular diameter (27. 93 ± 1. 71 mm vs 24. 53 ± 23. 3; P = 0. 001). The mean global longitudinal strain was-18. 69 ± 2. 8 in the group with Preeclampsia and-19. 39 ± 3. 49 in the healthy group, with the difference not constituting statistical significance (P = 0. 164). The mean global circumferential strain in the groups with and without Preeclampsia was-20. 4 ± 12. 4 and-22. 68 ± 5. 50, respectively, which was significantly lower in the Preeclampsia group (P = 0. 028). Conclusion: The development of Preeclampsia was associated with an increase in the right and left ventricular diameters, as well as a decrease in the ventricular systolic function, demonstrated by a decline in global circumferential strain.
