Background Aortic regurgitation (AR) has an important impact on myocardial mechanics and recent studies have proved the value of global longitudinal strain (GLS) in the assessment of its severity and prognosis. Our purpose was to assess if the direct impact of the regurgitant jet on the myocardial wall could affect regional longitudinal strain. Methods Eighty patients with chronic moderate/severe AR were retrospectively studied. Patients were considered to have a jet-related longitudinal strain reduction when the myocardial segments directly impacted by the jet had their longitudinal strain reduced by at least 30% compared to nonaffected segments. AR severity, left ventricular (LV) size and function were compared according to the presence/absence of this regional pattern. For those who underwent surgery, postoperative regional and global LV function was also analyzed. Results A pattern of regional longitudinal strain impairment was identified in 43% of patients, with a regional reduction (in median) of 10 percentage points in absolute strain values in the segments impacted by the jet, compared to nonaffected segments. In the subgroup who underwent surgery, this pattern became attenuated after surgery. Patients with regional longitudinal strain impairment were less likely to improve GLS after surgery (10% vs. 38% improved GLS by at least 2.5%, P = 0.049). Conclusions To our knowledge, this study identifies for the first time, a link between the location of the impact of the regurgitant jet in AR and regional longitudinal strain impairment. The presence of this regional pattern might be associated with worse postoperative LV recovery.
