单纯碎裂电位指导心房颤动消融的初步临床观察

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of mdiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrilla-tion (AF) guided by complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAEs). Methods Twenty-two patients with drug refractory and symptomatic AF(16 paroxysmal, 6 persisten) were enrolled. Using Carto, the left atrial or biatrial replica was created during spontaneous or induced AF, and areas associated with CFAEs were identi-fied. Radiofrequency ablation at the site with CFAEs was performed and the end points were to eliminate CFAEs or convert to sinus rhythm. Results Thirteen patients(59%)were converted to sinus rhythm, (7 cases conver-ted directly to sinus rhythm, and 6 via the intermediate atrial tachycardia(AT) or atrial flutter (AFL). The re-maining nine patients required cardioversion with D. C. shock or drug. Repeat ablation was performed in 6 pa-tients (5 AT/AFL, 1 paroxysmal AF). During(10.9 ±4.8) months follow-up, 16 patients (73%) were free of arrhythmia and symptoms. CFAEs were most commonly found along the left interatrial septum, pulmonary veins, left atrial roof. CFAEs ablation prolonged AFCL[(157 ± 18) ms vs (211 ± 32) ms, P < 0.05]. Only one patient had pericardial tamponade that required pericardiocentesis. Conclusion Radiofrequeney catheter abla-tion of atrial fibrillation (AF) guided by CFAEs is safe and effective.

递进式消融法治疗持续性心房颤动的初步体会

Objective To evaluate the effect of catheter ablation on persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) using step-wise approach. Methods Thirty-four patients [mean age (54.8 ± 11.4) years] with persistent AF [mean (36.5 ± 9.8) months] underwent catheter ablation were enrolled. Ablation was performed in following sequence. Circumferential ablation of pulmonary veins to achieve isolation, linear ablation of left atrium roof and mitral isthmus, ablation at sites possessing complex fractionated atrial electrograms. Using activation Carto mapping system, if AF converted to atrial flutter (AFL) or atrial tachycardia (AT), then catheter ablation was applied to terminate tachycardia. Results The step-wise ablation approach was successful in rhythm changes (AF converted to AFL/AT) in 88.2% of patients, 61.8% of patients conversion to sinus rhythm directly via ablation. At 12.6 ±6.2 months of follow-up, 82.4% of patients were maintained in sinus rhythm (42.9% of those patients taking oral amiedarone). Conclusion Catheter ablation using step-wise approach is effective in persistent AF treatment.     

Treatment of atrial flutter and rapid atrial tachycardia with transesophageal atrial pacing

Eight patients with atrial flutter (AF) and rapid atrial tachycardia (AT) (5 common AF, 1 uncommon AF and 2 AT) were treated with transesophageal atrial pacing (TEAP). In 5 patients no antiarrhythmic agent was used during this study, and in 3 patients procainamide was administrated intravenously. Conversion to sinus rhythm was successfully achieved in 7 patients (5 common AF and 2 AT). Two patients were converted to sinus rhythm immediately after pacing, and transient atrial fibrillation was induced before conversion to sinus rhythm in 5 patients. TEAP failed to terminate the arrhythmia in 1 patient with uncommon AF. Administration of procainamide reduced the atrial rate in 2 common AF and 1 AT, which were successfully converted to sinus rhythm by TEAP, but induced a rapid ventricular response in 2 patients, one of whom also developed hypotension before conversion. No significant complication due to TEAP was observed in this study. In conclusion, TEAP is a noninvasive method with fewer complications and has nearly the same high efficacy for converting AF and rapid AT to sinus rhythm as DC cardioversion or transvenous atrial pacing.     

心房重构在房颤中的作用

房颤的发病机制非常复杂,与心房的重构(包括电学重构、解剖重构和自主神经系统重构)密切相关.房颤可诱导离子通道蛋白表达和(或)功能异常,进而反馈性地促进心房功能性折返基质的形成,发生电学重构;循环往复的电学重构造成心房基质的改变,失活的心房肌细胞被纤维组织替代,心房逐渐纤维化,出现解剖重构;与此同时,心房广泛的纤维化进一步阻碍电冲动的传导,反过来加重电学重构;自主神经系统重构可通过正向反馈环机制促进房颤的维持和复发.早期治疗心房重构可延迟甚至预防房颤的发生和发展.     

心房粘液瘤对心房除极的影响

为探讨心房粘液瘤对心房激动过程的影响,对19例左心房粘液瘤和2例右心房粘液瘤的VCG高倍P环(1mV=360mm)进行测量,结果显示不同部位粘液瘤对心房激动的影响不同,VCGP环亦不同.左心房粘液瘤P环时限延长,除左心房肥大外,较容易判断出双侧心有肥大、房内传导阻滞.右心房粘液瘤P环时限正常,仅表现右心房肥大.VCG上放大的P环能比ECG上P波更敏感地反映出心房异常活动的电变化.
