| Abstract | AIMS: The present study was undertaken to investigate the concordance between longitudinal two-dimensional (2D)-speckle-tracking data and endocardial mapping for localizing atrioventricular accessory pathways (AP), and whether longitudinal 2D-speckle-tracking imaging accurately identifies the contractile abnormalities associated with AP and the effect of radiofrequency ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Echocardiograms were repeated twice in 40 patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome (before and early after ablation) and in 40 healthy controls to obtain longitudinal 2D strain and strain rate data. The site of ablation was considered as the gold standard for the AP localization. While control patients had a homogeneous strain pattern, all but two patients with WPW had an abnormal deformation pattern with three peaks in one or two basal contiguous segments: an early peak concomitantly with the delta wave followed by a systolic and a post-sytolic one. The rapid increase in LV longitudinal deformation within the basal pre-excited zone resulted in a pre-systolic peak strain rate at the beginning of the delta wave by SR imaging that was not found in controls. The early basal contraction spread towards the mid-ventricle before merging with the normal activated segments in 15 patients (39%). Contractile abnormalities were no more than one adjacent segment different compared with the AP ablation site in all these 38 patients. Regional strain was impaired in the pre-excited areas especially in AP localized in the interventricular septum. The abnormal deformation pattern persisted in 16 (42%) patients despite successful radiofrequency ablation. However, the difference in the regional strain between WPW patients and controls did not remain after ablation. CONCLUSION: Longitudinal 2D-speckle-tracking data accurately match with endocardial mapping findings for localizing AP. Longitudinal 2D-speckle-tracking imaging accurately identifies AP-associated contractile abnormalities. Longitudinal 2D-speckle-tracking identifies persistence of local ventricular pre-excitation immediately after successful ablation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
