Through ventricular interdependence, pulmonary hypertension (PH) induces left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. We hypothesized that LV strain/strain rate, surrogate measures of myocardial contractility, are reduced in pediatric PH and relate to invasive hemodynamics, right ventricular (RV) strain, and functional measures of PH. At two institutions, echocardiography was prospectively performed in 54 pediatric PH patients during cardiac catheterization, and in 54 matched controls. PH patients had reduced LV global longitudinal strain (LS) (-18.8 [-17.3 - -20.4]% vs. -20.2 [-19.0 - -20.9]%, P=0.0046) predominantly due to reduced basal (-12.9 [-10.8 - -16.3]% vs. -17.9 [-14.5 - -20.7]%, P<0.0001) and mid (-17.5 [-15.5 - -19.0]% vs. -21.1 [-19.1 - -23.0]%, P<0.0001) septal strain. Basal global circumferential strain (CS) was reduced (-18.7 [-15.7 - -22.1]% vs. -20.6 [-19.0 - -22.5]%, P=0.0098), as were septal and free-wall segments. Mid CS was reduced within the free-wall. Strain rates were reduced in similar patterns. “Basal septum” LS, the combined average LS of basal and mid interventricular septal segments, correlated strongly with degree of PH (r=0.66, P<0.0001), pulmonary vascular resistance (r=0.60, P<0.0001), and RV free-wall LS (r=0.64, P<0.0001). Brain natriuretic peptide levels correlated moderately with septal LS (r=0.48, P=0.0038). PH functional class correlated moderately with LV free-wall LS (r=-0.48, P=0.0051). The septum, shared between ventricles and affected by septal shift, was the most affected LV region in PH. Pediatric PH patients demonstrate reduced LV strain/strain rate, predominantly within the septum, with relationships to invasive hemodynamics, RV strain, and functional PH measures.
