RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the dynamic changes of coagulation system following radiofrequency catheter ablation(RFCA) and effect of molecular weight heparin. Methods:Blood samples were collected at 6 different times to measure the thrombin-antithrombinⅢcomplex (TAT) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in 60 RFCA candidates and 22 controls undergoing electrophysiological study (EPS).Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups.Low molecular weight heparin was given to 31 pationts (subgroup B) after RFCA,but not to the others (subgroup A). Results:①Plasma TAT exhibited a double peaked pattern in the subgroup A.The first peak occurred instantly after RFCA (42.8?15.7 ng/ml),and the second 3 days later (20.1?19.4 ng/ml).The second peak was significantly higher than that of the control group (2.7?1.5 ng/ml) and the subgroup B(4.3?5.2 ng/ml)(P
RESUMEN
Objective To evaluate the changes of left ventricular regional function in normal subjects with aging and the influencing factors by Doppler tissue imaging. Methods One hundred and twelve normal subjects were divided into four groups according to age: I group with age≤18 years old ; II group with 18 60 years old. Using a quantitative tissue velocity analysis system and tissue tracking, the peak velocities of different ventricular segments at systole, early and late diastole (Vs, Ve,Va) , the Ve/Va ratios were obtained and the effects of age, gender, heart rate and STd were analyzed. Results (1) Peak velocities of different segments of each wall were decreased one by one from mitral annulus, the basal, middle segment to the apical portion. (2) Peak velocities of different ventricular walls were significantly different, with the antero- and posterio-inter-ventricular septum being the lowest CVe (6. 89?2. 60) ,(7. 94?2. 64)cm/s]and with the latero-,posterio-,antero, and inferior walls of the left ventricle being higherCVe (9. 85?3. 02) , (9. 80?3. 09), (8. 86?3. 16), (8. 23?2. 48) cm/s] . (3) Peak velocities of different segments were associated with age, STd, BMI, heart rate and not associated with gender. (4) The Ve/Va ratios were increased one by one from mitral annulus, basal, middle segment to apical portion, and were significantly lower in III group and IV group than in I group and II group. Conclusions Peak velocities of different segments at different walls change regularly and age is the most important influencing factor to the diastolic velocities.
