The Effect of Night-Shift Work on Right Heart Function in Medical Employees

Abstract

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to explore the effect of sleeplessness on right heart function in medical employees who have night-shift work.Patients and Methods: Fifty-two employees who work nightshifts were included in this study. Right ventricle tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), myocardial performance index (MPI), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and pulmonary artery stiffness (PAS) were calculated using maximal frequency shift (MFS) and acceleration time (AcT) in addition to routine echocardiographic examination of all individuals.Results: When comparing right ventricular functions before and after a night shift, there was reduction of tricuspid E wave velocity after sleeplessness was determined (p

Sağlık Çalışanlarında Gece Nöbetinin Sağ Kalp Fonksiyonları Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Giriş: Bu çalışmada amacımız gece nöbet tutan sağlık personelinde, uykusuzluğun sağ kalp fonksiyonları üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır.Hastalar ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya gece nöbet tutan toplam 52 birey dahil edildi. Tüm bireylere rutin ekokardiyografik işlemlere ek olarak sağ ventrikül doku Doppler, miyokardiyal performans indeksi (MPİ), triküspit anüler düzlem sistolik hareketi (TAPSE) ve pulmoner akım maksimal frekans shift/pulmoner akselerasyon zamanı formülü kullanılarak pulmoner arter stifness (PAS) ölçümleri alındı.Bulgular: Nöbet öncesi ve nöbet sonrası sağ kalp fonksiyonları karşılaştırıldığında; trikuspit E dalga hızı uykusuzluk sonrası azalma gösterirken (p
