ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the electrocardiographic characteristics of left and right ventricles origin of premature ventricular contractions(PVCs) during V3 transition of precordial leads, right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) anterior septum and right coronary sinus (RCC), and RVOT middle-posterior septum and left coronary sinus (LCC).Methods:From January 2017 to September 2019, 91 patients with ventricular extrasystole of outflow tract who had V3 transition in precordial lead and had successful radiofrequency ablation in RVOT anterior septum, middle posterior septum, LCC and RCC were selected for retrospective case control study.The electrocardiography measurements of PVCs were compared between the anteroseptal RVOT group and RCC group, as well as the middle-posterior septal RVOT group and the LCC group, respectively.The measurements included the R-wave amplitude in lead Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and aVF, R amplitude ratio in leads Ⅲ to Ⅱ, Q-wave amplitude in lead aVL and aVR, Q amplitude ratio in leads aVL to aVR, R-wave and S-wave amplitude from leads V1 to V3, the V2S/V3R index, the transition zone index, and the V2 transition ratio.Results:Thirty-six cases originated from the anteroseptal RVOT, and 11 from the LCC.Lead I R-wave amplitude in anterior septal RVOT was higher than LCC group((0.22±0.25) mV vs.(-0.17±0.33) mV; P=0.003). R-wave amplitude in lead Ⅱ was lower than that in the LCC group((1.59±0.35) mV vs.(1.76±0.27) mV; P=0.035). R-wave amplitude in lead aVF was lower compared with the LCC group((1.53±0.35) mV vs.(1.78±0.39) mV; P=0.050). The V2S/V3R index showed a significant difference between these two groups(1.99±0.66 vs.0.76±0.38; P<0.001). The V2 transition ratio also appeared a significant difference between the two groups(0.69±0.43 vs.1.05±0.35; P=0.005). PVCs arose from the middle-posterior septal RVOT in 32 cases, and from the RCC in 12 cases.Compared with RCC group, lead Ⅰ R-wave amplitude showed lower ((0.25±0.31) mV vs.(0.57±0.12) mV; P<0.001); R amplitude ratio in leads Ⅲ to Ⅱ higher (0.89±0.14 vs.0.72±0.18; P=0.002); Q amplitude in lead aVL((0.72±0.24) mV vs.(0.51±0.16) mV; P=0.002)higher, and Q amplitude ratio in leads aVL to aVR higher in the middle-posterior septal RVOT(0.76±0.23 vs.0.50±0.21; P=0.002). Conclusion:Among the cases with lead V3 transition, PVCs originated from the anteroseptal RVOT show significantly different R wave in lead Ⅰ, Ⅱ, aVF, V2S/V3R index, and the V2 transition ratio compared with those from the LCC.The PVCs from the middle-posterior septal RVOT and the RCC have different R wave in lead Ⅰ, R amplitude ratio in leads Ⅱ and Ⅲ, Q amplitude ratio in leads aVL and aVR.Combined with its different characteristics, it can help to identify the origin of left and right ventricles.
ABSTRACT
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia includes atrioventricular node reentry tachycardia, atrioventricular reentry tachycardia and atrial tachycardia.At present, the commonly used methods in clinical diagnosis include ventricular pacing in tachycardia, pre ventricular stimulation in refractory/non refractory period of his bundle, pacing in different parts of the atrium, parahisian pacing in sinus rhythm and stimulation in different parts of the ventricle.Ventricular pacing is one of the most commonly used methods in clinical diagnosis.However, it may lead to " false V-A-A-V" sequence after pacing.The ventricular pre phase stimulation of his bundle refractory period may appear false negative or lead to termination of tachycardia, which is not condutive to differential diagnosis.The results may be affected by pacing position, bypass position and refractory period when parahisian pacing and ventricular stimulation at different sites/frequencies are performed in sinus rhythm.Because of their respective advantages and limitations, it is necessary to integrate a variety of identification methods to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and the success rate of operation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe whether catheter ablation for ventricular premature complexes (PVC) has an effect on ventricular diastolic function in elderly patients.Methods Elderly patients older than 65 years of age who underwent catheter ablation from March 2012 to May 2015 for idiopathic ventricular premature complexes were enrolled.Preoperative echocardiography was performed using E／e′ for left ventricular diastolic function and venous brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were measured.All patients underwent catheter ablation under the guidance of a three?dimensional mapping system.Cardiac ultrasound and BNP levels were repeated 6 months after ablation, and 24?hour electrocardiogram was performed to confirm ventricular premature complexes.Results There were a total of 89 patients with idiopathic ventricular premature complexes ( PVC) who underwent catheter ablation.81 cases were successed at 6 months,with a success rate of 91.0%.At 6 months after ablation,the E／e′ values were significantly lower ((15.3±5.2) vs ( 10.2± 3.2),( P＜0.001)) and BNP levels were significantly lower (( 202.0 ± 23.2) pg／L vs (94±13.3) pg／L),(P＜0.001).For the unsuccessful subgroup,there was no significant change in E／e′values (16.3±6.3 vs 15.2±5.6) and BNP levels ((223.0±26.8) pg／L vs (245.0±23.9) pg／L), (P＞0.05).Conclusion The number of premature ventricular beats is associated with left ventricular diastolic function,and ventricular premature catheter ablation can improve left ventricular diastolic function in elderly PVC patients.
