ABSTRACT

Female gender is an independent risk factor for the development of torsade de pointes (TdP) arrhythmias not only in congenital long QT syndromes(LQTs)but also in acquired long QT syndromes. Clinical evidences imply that sex steroid hormones appear to play important roles in gender differences by affecting the cardiac repolarization process of action potential. This review summarizes the effects of sex hormones on cardiac ion channel currents and the effects of gender differences on drug-induced long QT syndromes, and reveals the mechanism of sex hormone induced arrhythmia by computer simulation

ABSTRACT

El propósito fue investigar si la naturaleza de la respuesta compensatoria de la masa ventricular izquierda (MVI) es un factor determinante del grado de labilidad temporal de la repolarización miocárdica. Se evaluaron 263 pacientes hipertensos y 52 sujetos controles normotensos mediante ecocardiografía y electrocardiografía de alta resolución. Se definió MVI inapropiada como un índice de compensación de la MVI (ICMVI) > 128%. El grado de labilidad temporal de la repolarización miocárdica se evaluó a través del índice de variabilidad del intervalo OT (IVQT) determinado en forma automatizada. Pacientes hipertensos con MVI inapropiada presentaron valores significativamente más altos del IVQT (-0,92 ± 0,25) en comparación con sujetos normotensos (-1,53 ± 0,21) y pacientes hipertensos con MVI apropiada (-1,24 2410,18) (P<0,001). El ICMVI se correlacionó en forma dirtecta con el IVQT (r=0,49, P<0,001). en el análisis multivariante de regresión lineal, el nivel de MVI inapropiada. medido a través del ICMVI, se comportó como un predictor independiente del grado de labilidad temporal de la repolarización miocárdica (ß=0,007; P<0,001). Los resultados de este estudio indican que, en pacientes con HTA-E, la presencia de MVI inapropiadamente alta para el estímulo hemodinámico del ventrículo izquierdo se relaciona con aumento de la variabilidad temporal del intervalo QT.


The goal of this study was to investigate whether the compensatory nature of left ventricular mass (LVM) is a determinant factor of the temporal lability of the myocardial repolarization. Two hundred and sixty three hypertensive patients and 52 normotensive control subjects were studied by Doppler echocardiography and high resolution electrocardiography. A compensatory index of LVM (CILVM) > 128% defined inapropiate LVM. The degree of myocardial repolarization lability was evaluated by the QT interval variability index (QTVI). Hypertensive patients with inapropiate LVM had QTVI values significantly higher (-0,92 ± 0,25) than those with appropriate MVI (-1.24 ± 0.18) and normotensive control subjects (-1.53 ± 0.21) (P<0.001). The CILVM was positively correlated with QTVI (r=0.49; P<0.001). A stepwise multivariate linear regtession analysis showed that the level of inappropriate LVM was an independent predictor of QTVI (ß=0.007; P<0.001). Our result indicate that inappropriately high LVM for hemodynamic stimuli are associated with increased QT temporal variability.
