Abstract: Objective The left atrial function of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome was quantitatively evaluated by speckle tracing imaging and compared. Methods Sixty patients with OSAS were divided into three groups according to the sleep apnea hypopnea index(AHI),including the mild group, the moderate group and the severe group, with 20 patients in each group. Another 20 healthy people were selected as the normal control group. Left atrial correlation strain parameters:systolic strain(Ss), early diastolic strain(Se), late diastolic strain(Sa), left atrial systolic strain rate(SRs), early diastolic strain rate(SRe), left atrium left atrium late diastolic strain rate(SRa) were measured by two dimensional speckle tracking imaging technology, and the differences of parameters between groups were compared. Results With the increase of disease severity, Ss, SRs, Se and SRe showed a trend of gradual decrease, while Sa and SRa increased first and then decreased, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Changes in atrial function may be detected in OSAS patients prior to left atrial remodeling using speckle tracking imaging.
