ABSTRACT
Objective: To analyze predictive value of plane QRS-T angle for postoperative malignant ventricular arrhythmia (MVA) of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who underwent PCI and the correlation between the predictive value and prognostic effect. Methods: The clinical data of 100 patients with AMI who underwent the treatment of percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) were researched by using retrospective analysis. All of patients were divided into observation group (24 cases) and control group (76 cases) according to the angle of plane QRS-T after PCI. The plane QRS-T angle of observation group was more than 90°, and it was less than or equal to 90° in control group. The occurrence of MVA and clinical outcome of MVA between the two group were compared. Results: The age of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group (t=3.516, P<0.05). The interval of QTc of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group (t=2.131, P<0.05). And the percentage of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 45%, the occurrence rate of high blood pressure and the occurrence rate of MVA of observation group were significantly higher than those of control group (x2=3.922, x2=3.950, x2=5.942, P<0.05), respectively. The results of multi-factor Logistic regression analysis indicated that the angle of plane QRS-T of patients with AMI after PCI above 90° was the independent risk factor of MVA after PCI (OR=9.640, P<0.05). Conclusion: After the PCI of patients with AMI, the QRS-T angle> 90 ° was an independent risk factor of MVA.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the value of plane QRS-T angle on prediction of malignant ventricular arrhythmia (MVA) occurred after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods The clinical data of 418 patients with STEMI who underwent PCI within 12 h of symptom onset were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were divided into plane QRS-T angle ≤ 90° group (324 cases) and plane QRS-T angle>90° group (94 cases) according to the plane QRS-T angle after PCI. The clinical data were compared between 2 groups. Results Compared with patients in plane QRS-T angle ≤ 90° group, patients in plane QRS-T angle > 90° group was older: (67.4 ± 11.8) years vs. (63.6 ± 12.0) years, QTc interval was longer: (438.60 ± 34.97) ms vs. (425.24 ± 25.49) ms, rate of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 90° was an independent risk factor of MVA after PCI in STEMI patients (OR = 9.640, P =0.001), and using of beta-blockers was a protective factor (OR = 0.266, P = 0.028). Conclusions Plane QRS-T angle>90° is an independent risk factor of MVA after PCI in STEMI patients, while the use of beta-blockers is a protective factor. Paients with STEMI after PCI should be alert to the occurrence of MVA in the condition of plane QRS-T angle>90° and not taking beta-blockers.
