Changes of ventricular septal myocardial injury current in left bundle branch area pacing / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective:Explore the characteristics of injury current changes in ventricular septal myocardium during left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) surgery.Methods:Retrospective analysis of clinical data of patients who underwent permanent pacemaker implantation at The Second People's Hospital of Wuxi in Jiangsu Province from January 2020 to November 2022. Among them, 42 patients were treated with LBBAP (LBBAP group) and 56 patients with Right ventricle septum pacing (RVSP group). Compare the conventional parameters such as threshold, perception, impedance during electrode implantation, damage current values at 0, 5, and 10 minutes before and after electrode rotation, and the correlation between damage current and conventional parameters. The measurement data is represented by xˉ± s, analysis of variance is used for comparison between multiple groups, t-test is used for comparison between two groups, and repeated measurement analysis of variance is used for comparison between two groups at multiple time points; Counting data is represented as an example (%), and inter group comparisons are made using χ 2 Inspection; Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the two variables. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in pacing threshold, perception, and impedance between the two groups of electrode implantation surgery (all P>0.05). The damage current values at 0, 5, and 10 minutes before and after electrode rotation in the LBBAP group were higher than those in the RVSP group [(7.19±1.26) mV compared to (5.33±0.79) mV, (22.50±3.06) mV compared to (10.85±1.70) mV, (15.75±2.63) mV compared to (8.01±1.09) mV, (9.24±2.00) mV compared to (5.51±0.98) mV]. The damage current values at 0 minutes after electrode rotation in both groups were higher than before electrode rotation, and gradually decreased thereafter, After 10 minutes of electrode placement, the damage current value of the LBBAP group was still higher than the level before electrode rotation (all P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference between the RVSP group and the level before electrode rotation ( P>0.05). The damage current value at 0 minutes after the LBBAP group electrode was in place was positively correlated with ventricular septal thickness and left ventricular posterior wall thickness ( r values 0.45 and 0.46, P values 0.003 and 0.002, respectively), and negatively correlated with conventional pacing parameter impedance ( r=-0.32, P=0.037). There was no correlation with threshold and perception ( r values 0.08 and 0.01, P values 0.604 and 0.968, respectively). The damage current value at 0 minutes after the RVSP group electrode was in place was negatively correlated with the threshold ( r=-0.28, P=0.036). Conclusions:The COI value of LBBAP interventricular septum myocardium increased significantly after the electrode was rotated out. The COI value at 0 min after the electrode put in place was positively correlated with the interventricular septum thickness and left ventricular posterior wall thickness, and negatively correlated with the electrode impedance, but there was no correlation with threshold and perception.
