Abstract in Portuguese
A disfunção ventricular esquerda (VE) é o principal determinante de mau prognóstico nos pacientes com bloqueio atrioventricular completo congênito (BAVTC) e marcapasso (MP). A dissincronia mecânica do VE pode desempenhar um papel importante no desenvolvimento da disfunção ventricular. Como o uso do MP é um fator de risco para dissincronia, nosso(s) objetivo(s) foram: (1) avaliar a dissincronia do VE pelo ecocardiograma tridimensional (3D) em tempo real e comparar com os parâmetros de dissincronia pelo Doppler tecidual ; (2) verificar a possível correlação entre o local do estímulo e o segmento ativado tardiamente; (3) correlacionar o tempo de marcapasso e a presença de dissincronia e remodelamento ventricular. Avaliamos 50 pacientes com BAVTC e MP através do ecocardiograma bidimensional (2D), Doppler tecidual e ecocardiograma tridimensional. Dados clínicos e anteriores ao implante do MP foram revistos pelos prontuários. Houve 12 (23,5%) pacientes com dissincronia pelo 3D e 14 (28%) pelo Doppler tecidual. Em 16 (32%) e 20 (40%) havia disfunção ventricular esquerda pelos 2D e 3D respectivamente. O remodelamento ventricular ocorreu em 50% dos pacientes. Houve uma excelente correlação entre o Doppler tecidual e o 3D para diagnóstico de dissincronia (kappa = 0,735, p <0,001). A fração de ejeção do VE (FEVE) correlacionou-se negativamente com a dissincronia pelo eco 3D (r= -0,58, p = 0,000001). A duração do ciclo cardíaco medida pelo intervalo RR teve também uma significante correlação negativa com o índice de dissincronia pelo 3D (r=-0,74, p=0,0011). O remodelamento do VE pelo Eco 3D (índices de esfericidade e conicidade) teve uma boa correlação com a disfunção do VE (p = 0,005 e 0,003 respectivamente). O tempo de marcapasso, a idade do implante e o local do eletrodo não se correlacionaram com a dissincronia. Comparando os pacientes com BAVTC e MP menores que 18 anos com um grupo controle de crianças normais, houve uma significante diferença em relação aos volumes do VE, índices de dissincronia, esfericidade e conicidade. Em conclusão, neste estudo transversal de pacientes com BAVTC e uso crônico de MP, o ecocardiograma tridimensional teve uma excelente correlação com o Doppler tecidual no diagnóstico de dissincronia mecânica. A posição do eletrodo não foi preditora do segmento ativado tardiamente. O tempo de MP não se correlacionou com a presença de dissincronia e disfunção do VE. Houve uma boa correlação entre a dissincronia, remodelamento e disfunção do VE

Abstract in English
The left ventricle (LV) dysfunction is the major reason for poor outcome in patients with congenital complete atrioventricular block (CCAVB) and pacemaker (PM). The LV mechanical dyssynchrony may play a significant role in the development of LV dysfunction in this population. As the long-term pacing is a potential risk factor for dyssynchrony, we sought to: (1) evaluate by real time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) the LV dyssynchrony and compare with Tissue Doppler (TDI) parameters; (2) verify the potential correlation between the electrode location and the latest segment activated; (3) correlate the time of pacing and LV dyssynchrony and LV remodeling. Two-dimensional (2D), TDI and RT3DE were performed in 50 patients with CCAVB and PM (mean age of 21,4 years DP 13,4). Clinical data were reviewed. Twelve (23,5%) had LV dyssynchrony by RT3DE and 14 (28%) by Tissue Doppler criteria. Sixteen (32%) and 20 (40%) had LV dysfunction by 2D and 3D, respectively. LV remodeling occurred in 50% of patients. There was an excellent correlation between RT3DE and TDI (Kappa = 0,735; p <0,001). The LV ejection fraction (LVEF) had a significant negative correlation with the dyssynchrony index by 3D (r = -0,58, p = 0,000001). The duration of the cardiac cycle measured by RR interval had a significant negative correlation with the LV dyssynchrony index by 3D (r = - 0,74, p = 0,0011). LV remodeling demonstrated by the sphericity and conic indexes had a good correlation with the presence of LV dysfunction (p = 0,005 and 0,003 respectively). The pacing time, the age at pacemaker implantation and the location of the electrode did not correlate with LV dyssynchrony. Patients bellow 18 years of age were significantly different in terms of LV dyssynchrony indexes, LV remodeling and LV volumes when compared with a control group with similar age and body surface area. In conclusion, in a cohort study of patients with CCAVB and long-term pacing, the RT3DE had an excellent correlation with TDI to evaluate LV dyssynchrony. The pacing site was not a predictor of the latest segment activation. The pacing time did not correlate with LV dyssynchrony and dysfunction. There was a correlation between the LV dyssynchrony and the presence of remodeling and dysfunction
