窄QRS波心动过速的分类

窄QRS波心动过速是指QRS波时限≤100ms的心动过速，除房室旁路引起的房室折返性心动过速的折返环涉及心室外，其他均起源于希氏束或希氏束以上，临床称为室上性心动过速。     

房室旁道合并房室结双径路形成的窄QRS波群心动过速

阵发性室上性心动过速中最常见的类型为房室旁道参与折返形成的顺向性房室折返性心动过速（AVRT）和房室结双径路折返引起的慢快型房室结折返性心动过速（AVNRT）,两者均为窄QRS波群,心动过速频率又比较接近,有时较难鉴别。尤其隐匿性房室旁道合并存在房室结双径路者,因窦性心律时无心室预激表现,

病史在宽QRS波心动过速鉴别中的意义

病史是鉴别宽QRS波心动过速的基石。只要病情允许,宽QRS波心动过速的诊断与鉴别诊断应从仔细询问病史开始。一.有助于鉴别宽QRS波心动过速的病史1.猝死生还猝死生还者的宽QRS波心动过速绝大多数是室速/室颤。2.血流动力学不稳定血流动力学不稳定的宽QRS波心动过速是室速的可能性大,但并非绝对如此[1]。3.心动过速发作与终止方式(1)突发突止:折返机制室速的发作可以呈突发突止的特点,但其与室上性心动过速发作,如窦房折返、房内折返性心动过速、房室结或房室折返性心动过速,不易鉴别。但部分室上速可能通过Valsalva动作等刺激迷走神经的方法终止,有助于鉴别[2]。(2)药物终止心动过速:腺苷/ATP能终止室上速(敏感性90%,特异性和阳性预测值分别为93%和

Typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia in a patient with fasciculoventricular pathway

We report a 34-year-old female patient with preexcitation electrocardiogram and recurrent paroxysmal palpitations. Standard 12-lead electrocardiogram showed minimal preexcitation with normal PR interval and normal frontal QRS axis. The electrophysiologic study showed normal AH intervals, short HV intervals, and no change in the degree of preexcitation by rapid atrial pacing. These findings were compatible with the fasciculoventricular pathway. Typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia with narrow QRS complex and normal HV interval was induced reproducibly by programmed electrical stimulation. Slow pathway was ablated successfully with radiofrequency catheter ablation, and then the patient remained asymptomatic during a follow-up of 12 months. Although the fasciculoventricular pathway is rare and supraventricular tachycardia in a patient with fasciculoventricular pathway may mimic Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, possibility of typical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia with fasciculoventricular pathway should be considered as a mechanism of supraventricular tachycardia in a patient showing preexcitation electrocardiogram.     

A technique for the rapid diagnosis of atrial tachycardia in the electrophysiology laboratory

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine if the atrial response upon cessation of ventricular pacing associated with 1:1 ventriculoatrial conduction during paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is a useful diagnostic maneuver in the electrophysiology laboratory. BACKGROUND: Despite various maneuvers, it can be difficult to differentiate atrial tachycardia from other forms of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. METHODS: The response upon cessation of ventricular pacing associated with 1:1 ventriculoatrial conduction was studied during four types of tachycardia: 1) atrioventricular nodal reentry (n = 102), 2) orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia (n = 43), 3) atrial tachycardia (n = 19) and 4) atrial tachycardia simulated by demand atrial pacing in patients with inducible atrioventricular nodal reentry or orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia (n = 32). The electrogram sequence upon cessation of ventricular pacing was, categorized as "atrial-ventricular" (A-V) or "atrial-atrial-ventricular" (A-A-V). RESULTS: The A-V response was observed in all cases of atrioventricular nodal reentrant and orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia. In contrast, the A-A-V response was observed in all cases of atrial tachycardia and simulated atrial tachycardia, even in the presence of dual atrioventricular nodal pathways or a concealed accessory atrioventricular pathway. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, an A-A-V response upon cessation of ventricular pacing associated with 1:1 ventriculoatrial conduction is highly sensitive and specific for the identification of atrial tachycardia in the electrophysiology laboratory.     

Clinical,electrocardiographic and electrophysiologic observations in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia

Seventy-nine patients without ventricular preexcitation but with documented paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia were analyzed. Electrophysiologic studies suggested atrioventricular (A-V) nodal reentrance in 50 patients, reentrance utilizing a concealed extranodal pathway in 9, sinus or atrial reentrance in 7 and ectopic automatic tachycardia in 3. A definite mechanism of tachycardia could not be defined In 10 patients (including 7 whose tachycardia was not inducible). The three largest groups with inducible tachycardias were compared in regard to age, presence of organic heart disease, rate of tachycardia, functional bundle branch block during tachycardia and relation of the P wave and QRS complex during tachycardia. A-V nodal reentrance was characterized by a narrow QRS complex and a P wave occurring simultaneously with the QRS complex during tachycardia. Reentrance utilizing a concealed extranodal pathway was characterized by young age, absence of organic heart disease, fast heart rate, presence of bundle branch block during tachycardia and a P wave following the QRS complex during tachycardia. Sinoatrial reentrance was characterized by frequent organic heart disease, a narrow QRS complex and a P wave in front of the QRS complex during tachycardia.In conclusion, a mechanism of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia could be defined in most patients. Observations of clinical and electrocardiographic features in these patients should allow prediction of the mechanism of the tachycardia.     

Akuttherapie lebensbedrohlicher tachykarder Rhythmusstörungen

Life-threatening supraventricular tachyarrhythmias include atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, AV-nodal reentrant tachycardia with rapid ventricular response and preexcitation syndromes combined with atrial fibrillation. Ventricular tachyarrhythmias still remain one of the leading causes of death; these arrhythmias include monomorphic and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, torsade de pointes tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and ventricular flutter. In all patients with tachycardias, an attempt should be made to differentiate between narrow (QRS duration < 0.12 s) or wide QRS complex (QRS duration ≥ 0.12 s) tachycardias. In the assessment of patients (pts) with supraventricular/ventricular tachyarrhythmias, attention should be given to identify whether the tachycardia is associated with worsening angina or low cardiac output. In pts with narrow QRS complex tachycardias or pts with atrial fibrillation and preexcitation syndromes immediate synchronized cardioversion should be performed if signs or symptoms of instability (hypotension, evidence of end-organ dysfunction, worsening angina) exist. In pts with a stable hemodynamic situation, vagal maneuvers, adenosine or calcium channel blockers can be used. Management of atrial flutter usually centers on cardioversion or rapid atrial pacing to normal sinus rhythm. In the treatment of patients with deemed unstable ventricular tachycardia (VT), electrical cardioversion is the treatment of choice. In more stable patients, ajmaline is the preferred agent after myocardial infarction and lidocaine if myocardial ischemia is present. In pts with torsade de pointes tachycardias aggressive steps must be taken to prevent degeneration of this rhythm to ventricular fibrillation (VF). Magnesium sulfate has recently been demonstrated efficacious and is currently considered first-line drug therapy. Transcutaneous overdrive pacing should be attempted if magnesium is unsuccessful. The pt with pulseless VT or VF demands early electrical countershock.     

Determinants of QRS alternans during narrow QRS tachycardia

This study was designed to prospectively determine the incidence of QRS alternans during various types of narrow QRS tachycardia and to clarify the determinants of QRS alternans. An electrophysiologic study was performed in 28 consecutive patients with a narrow QRS tachycardia. Persistent QRS alternans was observed in 6 (43%) of 14 patients during orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia, 5 (71%) of 7 patients during atrial tachycardia and 3 (43%) of 7 patients during atrioventricular (AV) node reentrant tachycardia. Incremental atrial pacing during sinus rhythm resulted in QRS alternans in patients who had QRS alternans during tachycardia, unless the shortest pacing cycle length associated with 1:1 AV conduction exceeded the tachycardia cycle length. In patients without QRS alternans during narrow QRS tachycardia, incremental atrial pacing during sinus rhythm resulted in persistent QRS alternans in five patients in whom the shortest pacing cycle length associated with 1:1 AV conduction was 60 to 180 ms less than the tachycardia cycle length. In an additional 20 patients without a narrow QRS tachycardia, persistent QRS alternans was observed during incremental atrial pacing in 11 (55%) of the patients. In six of six patients who had QRS alternans during abrupt rapid atrial pacing, QRS alternans was not observed when the same pacing rates were achieved gradually. Among the patients with narrow QRS tachycardia, the mean tachycardia cycle length in those who had QRS alternans (mean +/- SD 288 +/- 44 ms) was significantly shorter than in those who did not (369 +/- 52 ms, p less than 0.001). The presence of QRS alternans was not related to the tachycardia mechanism, relative or functional refractory period of the His-Purkinje system (at a drive cycle length of 500 ms), age, presence of structural heart disease, direction of input into the AV node or concealed retrograde conduction in the His-Purkinje system. In conclusion, QRS alternans during narrow QRS tachycardias is a rate-related phenomenon that depends on an abrupt increase to a critical rate and is independent of the tachycardia mechanism.     

Double atrial responses to a single ventricular impulse due to simultaneous conduction via two retrograde pathways

Electrophysiologic studies were performed in two patients. In one patient (Case 1) with ventricular pre-excitation and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, studies after diltiazem administration showed two QRS responses to a single atrial stimulus during atrial pacing at a cycle length of 300 ms. The first QRS response with full pre-excitation and short PR interval was consistent with accessory pathway conduction, while the second QRS response with a normal duration and an atrio-His bundle interval of 350 ms was consistent with normal pathway conduction. The second QRS response was followed by initiation of supraventricular tachycardia. Studies after verapamil administration on a separate day disclosed two atrial responses to a single QRS complex during ventricular pacing at cycle lengths between 330 and 280 ms, suggesting simultaneous retrograde accessory and normal pathway conduction. In Case 2 with a supraventricular tachycardia using a fast atrioventricular nodal pathway for anterograde and a slow ventriculoatrial pathway for retrograde conduction, two atrial responses to a single QRS complex were observed during ventricular pacing at cycle lengths between 500 and 400 ms. The first atrial response showed a stimulus to atrial interval of 120 ms and an atrial activation sequence with the low septal right atrium being earlier than other atrial sites, suggesting retrograde fast pathway conduction. The second atrial response showed a stimulus to atrial interval of 505 ms and an atrial activation sequence with low septal right atrium being simultaneous with the proximal coronary sinus, suggesting retrograde slow pathway conduction.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Differentiation of Narrow QRS Complex Tachycardia Types Using the 12‐Lead Electrocardiogram

Background: Previous studies have shown that only 80% of narrow QRS supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) types can be differentiated by standard 12‐lead electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria. This study was designed to determine the value of some new ECG criteria in differentiating narrow QRS SVT. Methods and Results : 120 ECGs demonstrating paroxysmal narrow QRS complex tachycardia (QRS s 0.11 ms and rate > 120 beats/min) were analyzed. Forty atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia (AVRT), 70 atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), and 10 atrial tachycardia defined with electrophysiologic study (EPS) consisted the study group. Eight surface ECG criteria were found to be significantly different between tachycardia types by univariate analysis. P waves separate from the QRS complex were observed more frequently in AVRT (70%) and atrial tachycardia (80%). Pseudo r’deflection in lead V¹, pseudo S wave in inferior leads, and cycle length alternans were more common in AVNRT (55, 20, and 6%, respectively). QRS alternans was also present during AVRT (28%). ST‐segment depression (≧ 2 mm) or T‐wave inversion, or both, were present more often in AVRT (60%) than in AVNRT (27%). During sinus rhythm, manifest preexcitation was observed more often in patients with AVRT (42%). When a P wave was present, RP/PR interval ratio > 1 was more common in atrial tachycardia (90%). By multivariate analysis, presence of a P wave separate from the QRS complex, pseudo r’deflection in lead V¹, QRS alternans, preexcitation during sinus rhythm, ST‐segment depression > 2 mm or T‐wave inversion, or both, were independent predictors of tachycardia type. Conclusions: Several new ECG criteria may be useful in differentiation of SVT types. Prediction of mechanism prior to EPS may provide additional benefits concerning the fluoroscopic exposure time and cardiac catheterization procedure. A.N.E. 2002;7(2):120–126     

Sustained symptomatic sinus node reentrant tachycardia: incidence, clinical significance, electrophysiologic observations and the effects of antiarrhythmic agents

The clinical, electrocardiographic and electrophysiologic determinants and effects of antiarrhythmic agents on sustained sinus node reentrant tachycardia remain poorly defined. Of 65 consecutive men undergoing electrophysiologic studies for symptomatic paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia over a 4 year period, 11 (16.9%), who ranged in age from 39 to 76 years, demonstrated sustained sinus node reentrant tachycardia. On the surface electrocardiogram, before electrophysiologic studies, the following diagnoses were considered in the 11 patients: sinus node reentrant tachycardia on the basis of an RP'/P'R ratio of greater than 1 and P wave configuration similar to that of sinus P waves (7 patients); atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardia on the basis of an RP'/P'R ratio of less than 1 (3 patients); and paroxysmal atrial tachycardia with AV block (1 patient). All 11 patients had a history of recurrent palpitation, 4 had syncope, 2 had dizzy spells and 9 had organic heart disease. Sustained sinus node reentrant tachycardia could be reproducibly induced in all 11 patients during atrial pacing or premature atrial stimulation, or both, over a wide echo zone. The tachycardia could be terminated by carotid sinus massage, atrial pacing and premature atrial stimulation. Characteristics of tachycardia included: high-low activation sequence; cycle lengths of 250 to 590 ms with wide fluctuations of 20 to 180 ms in individual patients; RP'/P'R ratio of greater than 1 in 8 (73%) of the 11 patients and a ratio of less than 1 in 3 (27%). Induction of sustained sinus node reentrant tachycardia was prevented by intravenous ouabain (0.01 mg/kg body weight) in two of two patients, by intravenous verapamil (10 mg) in two of two patients and by intravenous amiodarone (5 mg/kg body weight) in four of four patients. In contrast, intravenous propranolol (0.1 mg/kg body weight) did not affect induction of sustained sinus node reentrant tachycardia in two of two patients. It is concluded that sustained sinus node reentrant tachycardia, seen in 16.9% of the study patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, is not as benign as previously believed; it is frequently associated with organic heart disease; it demonstrates wide variations in cycle length, unlike other forms of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia; it can masquerade as AV nodal reentrant tachycardia and paroxysmal atrial tachycardia with AV block on the surface electrocardiogram in 36% of patients; and it is responsive to intravenous administration of ouabain, verapamil or amiodarone.     

The Response of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia to Overdrive Atrial and Ventricular Pacing:

Pacing During Supraventricular Tachycardia. Introduction: Standard electrophysiologic techniques generally allow discrimination among mechanisms of paroxysmal Supraventricular tachycardia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the response of paroxysmal Supraventricular tachycardia to atrial and ventricular overdrive pacing can help determine the tachycardia mechanism. Methods and Results: Fifty-three patients with paroxysmal Supraventricular tachycardia were studied. Twenty-two patients had the typical form of atrioventricular (AV) junctional (nodal) reentry, 18 patients had orthodromic AV reentrant tachycardia, 10 patients had atrial tachycardia, and 3 patients had the atypical form of AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. After paroxysmal Supraventricular tachycardia was induced, 15-beat trains were introduced in the high right atrium and right ventricular apex sequentially with cycle lengths beginning 10 msec shorter than the spontaneous tachycardia cycle length. The pacing cycle length was shortened in successive trains until a cycle of 200 msec was reached or until tachycardia was terminated. Several responses of paroxysmal Supraventricular tachycardia to overdrive pacing were useful in distinguishing atrial tachycardia from other mechanisms of paroxysmal Supraventricular tachycardia. During decremental atrial overdrive pacing, the curve relating the pacing cycle length to the VA interval on the first beat following the cessation of atrial pacing was flat or upsloping in patients with AV junctional reentry or AV reentrant tachycardia, but variable in patients with atrial tachycardia. AV reentry and AV junctional reentry could always be terminated by overdrive ventricular pacing whereas atrial tachycardia was terminated in only one of ten patients (P < 0.001). The curve relting the ventricular pacing cycle length to the VA interval on the first postpacing beat was flat or upsloping in patients with AV junctional reentry and AV reentry, but variable in patients with atrial tachycardia. The typical form of AV junctional reentry could occasionally be distinguished from other forms of paroxysmal Supraventricular tachycardia by the shortening of the AH interval following tachycardia termination during constant rate atrial pacing. Conclusions: Atrial and ventricular overdrive pacing can rapidly and reliably distinguish atrial tachycardia from other mechanisms of paroxysmal Supraventricular tachycardia and occasionally assist in the diagnosis of other tachycardia mechanisms. In particular, the ability to exclude atrial tachycardia as a potential mechanism for paroxysmal Supraventricular tachycardia has important implications for the use of catheter ablation techniques to cure paroxysmal Supraventricular tachycardia.     

Complete abolition of the reentrant supraventricular tachycardia zone using a new modality of cardiac pacing with simultaneous atrioventricular stimulation

In an attempt to prevent recurrent reentrant supraventricular tachycardia, an experimentally designed new pacemaker has been developed. The pacemaker, when connected to both atrial and ventricular electrodes, is capable of sensing either an atrial or ventricular signal and, in turn, triggers simultaneous atrioventricular (A-V) stimulation. Efficacy of this pacemaker was tested in four patients with recurrent paroxysmal A-V nodal reentrant tachycardia during electrpphysiologic studies. After connection of the electrodes to the new pacemaker, all atrial or ventricular premature stimuli elicited simultaneous A-V stimulation with resultant impulse collision in the A-V junction. Consequently, the reentrant tachycardia zone was completely abolished in all patients. This study has thus demonstrated the clinical feasibility of simultaneous A-V pacing to abolish the supraventricular tachycardia zone in man.
