针刺与胺碘酮转复阵发性心房颤动及心房扑动疗效比较

目的:探讨针刺转复阵发性心房颤动(房颤)及心房扑动(房扑)的可行性。方法:将80例房颤及房扑患者随机分为治疗组(40例)与对照组(40例)。治疗组针刺内关、神门、膻中等穴;对照组静脉注射胺碘酮,观察两组复律情况及安全性。结果:治疗组转复率85·0%,对照组转复率67·5%,两组复律成功率比较差异有非常显著性意义(P<0·01);治疗组转复时间(39·6±13·7)分钟,对照组(50·1±14·8)分钟,二者比较差异有非常显著性意义(P<0·01)。治疗组未见明显副作用。结论:针刺是一种快速转复阵发性房颤、房扑的安全、有效疗法。

Comparison between therapeutic effects of acupuncture and intravenous injection of amiodarone in the treatment of paroxymal atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter

OBJECTIVE: To probe the feasibility of acupuncture in conversion of paroxymal atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. METHODS: Eighty cases of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter were randomly divided into 2 groups, a treatment group and a control group, 40 cases in each group. The treatment group were treated with acupuncture at Neiguan (PC 6), Shenmen (HT 7), Danzhong (CV 17) and others, and the control group with intravenous injection of amiodarone. The cardiac rhythms and side effects were observed in the two groups. RESULTS: The total effective rate of 85.0% in the treatment group was better than 67.5% in the control group (P < 0.01). The average conversion time was (39.6 +/- 13.7) min in the treatment group and (50.1 +/- 14.8) min in the control group with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.01). No adverse effect was found in the treatment group. CONCLUSION: Acupuncture is a safe and effective therapy for conversion of paroxymal atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter.
