dc.description.abstractBackgroundPolycythemia vera (PV), characterized by elevated red blood cell counts, poses challenges to cardiovascular health with potential impacts on cardiac function. Myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure are major causes of mortality in PV patients. Early detection of left ventricular systolic dysfunction is crucial for optimizing outcomes.MethodsFifty-two PV patients and 45 healthy controls were recruited. Four-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (4D-STE) and fragmented QRS complexes (fQRS) on electrocardiograms were utilized to assess cardiac mechanics. Hematological and echocardiographic parameters were measured, and statistical analyses were performed.ResultsPV patients exhibited significantly higher hematocrit and red cell distribution width compared to controls. Global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), global radial strain (GRS), and global area strain (GAS) were lower in PV patients. fQRS complexes were associated with longer disease duration and reduced GCS and GAS values. Hematocrit correlated positively with LV-GCS and LV-GAS. Multiple linear regression revealed that disease duration and fQRS presence independently predicted LV-GAS.ConclusionThis study underscores the intricate link between elevated red blood cell counts, disease duration, and cardiac function in PV patients. Combining 4D-STE and fQRS complexes enhances the identification of early left ventricular systolic dysfunction. These findings offer potential improvements in recognizing and managing cardiovascular complications in PV patients, with implications for future research and clinical practice. Further investigations are needed to elucidate underlying mechanisms and validate these markers in larger cohorts.en_US
