ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of treatment time with amiodarone hydrochloride on treatment success rate of ventricular premature beats after radiofrequency ablation. Methods 46 cases of patients with frequent premature ventricular arrhythmia who received RFCA for the first time in department of gardiology,huangyan hospital of wenzhou medical university from February 2013 to February 2015 were selected,and randomly divided into two groups,the control group were treated with amiodarone hydrochloride for one months,the study group were treated with amiodarone hydrochloride for six months.Left ventricular function and structural parameters,heart rate variability were measured in two groups,the main clinical symptom scores,success rate,efficacy and safety were compared. Results Compared with before treatment,two groups of LVESD,LVEDD and PVC decreased (P<0.05),LVEF increased (P<0.05),SDNN,rMSSD,PNN50,LF and HF increased (P<0.05),scores of palpitation,shortness of breath,chest tightness and main symptom score decreased (P<0.05).Compared with the control group,level of PVC in the study group was lower (P<0.05),LVEF was higher(P<0.05),LVESD and LVEDD were had no significant differences,levels of SDNN,rMSSD,PNN50,LF,HF were higher (P<0.05),scores of palpitations,shortness of breath,chest tightness main symptom score were lower (P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the success rate, clinical efficacy and adverse reaction rate between the two groups. Conclusion The time of taking amiodarone after radiofrequency catheter ablation in patients with PVCs,but taking six months and medication compared to one month,can reduce heart palpitations,chest tightness and other symptoms,and improve left ventricular function,with high security.
