Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the interventional minimally-invasive technology for information acquisition, relate to human body and living animal myocardium hardness parameter acquiring, colour imaging display packing and diagnostic ultrasonic equipment.It specifically is a kind of conduit interventional method that utilizes, by on human or animal's live body cardiac muscle, obtaining and analyze the stress-strain relation of organizing, thereby obtain the biological tissue hardness number or calculate the Young's modulus of cardiac muscle, and carry out the method that the computer color coding directly shows myocardium integral hardness and hardness distributed intelligence in view of the above according to corresponding formulas.The information of being obtained is of value to assists medical research and provides reference for clinical diagnosis.The present invention relates to simultaneously and is used for the ultrasonic myocardium hardness color imager of specialized equipment-intervention that live body myocardium hardness information is obtained and imaging shows.
Background technology:
Diastolic heart failure (DHF) comes into one's own day by day in recent years.In left chamber function was incomplete, the diastole cardiac insufficiency accounted for 30% according to investigations, and then ratio is higher at advanced age and female patient.U.S.'s expense of being used for the treatment of DHF accounts for four of whole heart failure medical expenses/with, reach hundred million dollars of 150-400 according to estimates; And China simple property DHF patient also at least 400 ten thousand, the diagnostic method of incompatible with it is diastolic heart failure is distinct inadequately so far, at present adopts exclusive methods to diagnose more." the accurate diagnosis of DHF very difficulty " thought by ACC, and educational circles calls new diagnostic method and standard in a hurry.Have crucial science and social and economic significance so inquire into method new, more direct assess cardiac diastolic function.
It is ventricular muscles due to initiatively relaxation property reduces because the ventricular muscles stiffness index increases that cardiac diastolic function reduces, the disease that the obstacle that initiatively relaxes of cardiac muscle generally follows coronary heart disease etc. to clarify a diagnosis, and can be undertaken compensatory by the good cardiac muscle of compliance.Therefore, the changing value that obtains the ventricular muscles stiffness index is that the passive deformation attribute of ventricular muscles has crucial meaning in clinic diagnosis and research.The method reliability of estimating diastolic function at present is all more dissatisfied.It is believed that more reliably and measure relaxing period time constant etc. with cardiac catheterization methed, mainly study from the hemodynamics level, ventricle stiffness index (the dP/dV that is reflected, stiffness) embody the variation of left ventricular volume and the relation that pressure changes, but its value reduces when the cardiac chambers chamber directly increases, and is difficult to correctly reflect the passive physical attribute of ventricular muscles.Still lack at live body and directly detect myocardium hardness (hardness, reflecting myocardium is being subjected to stress generation adaptability to changes), this passive elastic characteristic of cardiac muscle is directly related with patient's symptom.A myocardial cell and a matter textural anomaly are the main causes that its passive mechanical attribute changes.Skelemin as myocardial cell is unusual, and fibrinous amount of extracellular matrix and ratio and water content change, and to cause myocardium elasticity to change be the main cause that DHF takes place.In addition, as limitation textural anomalies such as cicatrization and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy after the myocardium infarction local myocardial hardness is increased.At present, it is unusual also to lack the myocardium circumscribed hardness of evaluation, as ventricular aneurysm, ventricle cicatrix, the effective ways of asymmetry plumpness.
The diastolic function of heart determines that mainly due to hardness myocardium hardness shows as relaxing period pressure is changed the generation deformability.For hardness situation and distribution thereof directly perceived and demonstration cardiac muscle more all sidedly rapidly, so the present invention changes the ability that causes deformation by observing local myocardial to ventricular pressure, or inject normal saline by conduit in a certain period of diastole middle and advanced stage, its chambers of the heart internal pressure is raise, and rising produces the ability of deformation to ventricular pressure to detect cardiac muscle.Invent this novel cardiac stiffness information imaging technique-intervention ultrasonic color myocardium hardness imaging.

The specific embodiment
The ultrasonic myocardium hardness color imaging method of embodiment 1 insertion type is to the basic demand of ultrasonic myocardium hardness ultrasound catheter:
Among the embodiment, the overall dimensions of ultrasound catheter is similar to ventriculography catheter.Conduit external diameter 6-8F can enter left ventricle through approach such as femoral artery, radial arterys by vagina vasorum, can enter right ventricle through femoral vein.
The operation of detected catheter is similar to ventriculography catheter.Obtain the hardness parameter of its equivalent layer center of area flesh by the different depth that its tested ventricle is arrived.
Described catheter tip is installed by high frequency, the annular ultrasonic transducer that can each polycrystalline battle array piezoelectric ceramics that directly works alone constitutes, detect endocardium and pericardium and the endocardium that causes according to the variation of section pressure sometime and pericardium between variable in distance obtain cardiac muscular tissue's deformation quantity.Also can inject normal saline by conduit in a certain period of diastole, ventricular volume is increased, obtain the variation of ventricle wall pressure and cause the ventricle wall change value of thickness, aforementioned two methods also can be used in combination.
We use the hardness of the characterizing tissues recently of pressure variety that cardiac muscular tissue is subjected to and thickness deformation ratio.Be Δ P/ ε (Δ P=P2-P1 ε=(L2-L1)/L1) come characterizing tissues hardness.Cause that the deformation dose rate Δ P/ ε of cardiac muscular tissue represents its hardness when detecting the variation of ventricle self pressure with ultrasound catheter, ventricular pressure value as the two adjacent moment: P1=10mmmHg, P2=5mmHg, this is the myocardial thickness L1=0.91cm of present position constantly, L2=0.89cm.Then the relative hardness characterization value is: pressure variety (10-5)/cardiac muscular tissue's deformation ratio (0.89-0.91)/0.91=227.Another kind method is to inject physiology salt by conduit with a certain speed (as 20ml/s) in a certain period of diastole, and synchro measure ventricular pressure and ventricle wall strain are also calculated its value characterizing tissues hardness as stated above.Also can pass through hollow ball Model Calculation Young mould simultaneously
