Right Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction

Conditions
Right Heart Dysfunction
COPD
Emphysema
Registration Number
NCT04467242
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Montpellier
Brief Summary

Heart-lung interactions remain misunderstood whereas pulmonary and cardiac pathologies are very commonly associated.

Emphysema by increasing intrathoracic pressure appears to affect cardiac function.

Interestingly, previous studies have shown a link between the telediastolic volume of the right ventricle (measured by RMI) and the intensity of emphysema.

Our hypothesis is that the emphysema by increasing intrathoracic pressure leads to or accentuates right cardiac diastolic dysfunction by decreasing compliance and cardiac preload.

To verify this hypothesis the investigators will perform KT loop procedures in order to acquire intracardiac pressure/volume curves before and after lung volume reduction.

The pressure/volume curves allow the analysis of systolic and diastolic function, cardiac contractility and loading conditions.

Estimate the change in right diastolic cardiac function after reduction of emphysema : assessed by the change in the slope end diastolic pressure volume relationship (EDPVR mmHg/ml) obtained by KT Loop procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Estimate the change in right systolic heart function1 day

Estimate the change in right cardiac contractility1 day

Estimate the change in right cardiac contractility before and after reduction of emphysema assessed by the slope end systolic pressure volume relationship (mmHg/ml), obtained by KT Loop procedure.

Estimate ventriculo-arterial coupling1 day

Estimate ventriculo-arterial coupling before and after reduction of emphysema assessed by the Ees/Ea ratio, obtained by KT Loop procedure

Assessing exercice performance1 day
