目的:探讨aVR导联ST段抬高( ST segment elevation ,STSE)对于非STSE型急性心肌梗死( acute myocardial infarction , AMI )的预测价值。方法回顾性分析425例非STSE 型AMI患者的心电图资料,并观察各导联ST段压低情况及是否存在T波倒置。对所测定数据进行整理和统计学处理。结果 aVR导联STSE多见于完全性右束支阻滞、左心室肥厚以及V1导联STSE的患者,在其他导联广泛ST段压低的患者中也较为多见;此类情况在T波倒置患者中较少见。本研究中,22例在住院时死亡,其中5例死于心源性休克。患者住院死亡率的不断升高和aVR导联STSE的等级不断上升相关。多重变量分析表明,aVR导联STSE已经成为预测住院死亡的独立重要变量。 aVR导联STSE大都与住院患者的心肌缺血时间以及发生心力衰竭相关,但是与血清肌酸激酶或肌酸激酶同工酶 MB 的水平高低没有相关性。结论如果aVR导联STSE和严重冠状动脉病变之间的联系,能够在大样本非STSE型AMI患者群体中得到进一步验证,那么aVR导联STSE就可以成为选择早期介入治疗患者的一个较为有用的指标。 相似文献

Adenosine and Retrograde Fast Pathway Conduction . Introduction : Several studies have shown that the fast pathway is more responsive to adenosine than the slow pathway in patients with AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. Little information is available regarding the effect of adenosine on anterograde and retrograde fast pathway conduction.
Methods and Results : The effects of adenosine on anterograde and retrograde fast pathway conduction were evaluated in 116 patients (mean age 47 ± 16 years) with typical AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. Each patient received 12 mg of adenosine during ventricular pacing at a cycle length 20 msec longer than the fast pathway VA block cycle length and during sinus rhythm or atrial pacing at 20 msec longer than the fast pathway AV block cycle length. Anterograde block occurred in 98% of patients compared with retrograde fast pathway block in 62% of patients ( P < 0.001). Unresponsiveness of the retrograde fast pathway to adenosine was associated with a shorter AV block cycle length (374 ± 78 vs 333 ± 74 msec, P < 0.01), a shorter VA block cycle length (383 ± 121 vs 307 ± 49 msec, P < 0.001), and a shorter VA interval during tachycardia (53 ± 23 vs 41 ± 17 msec, P < 0.01).
Conclusion : Although anterograde fast pathway conduction is almost always blocked by 12 mg of adenosine, retrograde fast pathway conduction is not blocked by adenosine in 38% of patients with typical AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. This indicates that the anterograde and retrograde fast pathways may be anatomically and/or functionally distinct. Unresponsiveness of VA conduction to adenosine is not a reliable indicator of an accessory pathway. 相似文献

Retrograde Multiple Accessory Pathway Precipitating AF. Introduction : The determinants of susceptibility to atrial fibrillation (AF) and the existence of accessory pathway conduction have remained unidentified in the Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. We tested the hypothesis that excitation inputs into the atrium over a retrograde multiple or multifiber accessory pathway during AV reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) could precipitate initiation of AF.
Methods and Results : Two hundred fifty consecutive patients with WPW syndrome underwent electrophysiologic study and radiofrequency catheter ablation. The patients were classified into two groups according to the study results: 29 with retrograde multiple or multifiber accessory pathway (MP) and 221 with retrograde single accessory pathway (SP). Compared with the SP patients, the MP patients showed a significantly higher incidence of clinical AF (MP vs SP: 19/29 vs 51/221, P < 0.01), induced AF (12/29 vs 32/221, P < 0.01), and initiated AF during ventricular pacing and AVRT (10/12 vs 17/32, P < 0.05). There were no differences between the two groups in incidence of clinical and induced AVRT (24/29 vs 200/221 and 25/29 vs 206/221, respectively), mean cycle length of induced AVRT, or electrophysiologic parameters of the accessory pathway. AF inducibility during AVRT or ventricular pacing was eliminated by partial ablation in 7 of 10 patients with MP. After total ablation, the incidence of induced AF was similar between the two groups (MP vs SP: 1/29 vs 11/221).
Conclusion : The existence of a retrograde multiple or multifiber accessory pathway in patients with WPW syndrome is associated with a higher incidence of clinical and induced AF. Successful ablation of the retrograde multiple or multifiber accessory pathway can eliminate the induction of both AVRT and AF. 相似文献

The only inducible arrhythmia in a patient with exclusive antegrade conducting left anterolateral accessory pathway, consists of slow/fast atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia. After radiofrequency catheter ablation of the slow pathway, true antidromic AV reentrant tachycardia was easily induced by atrial pacing. Following ablation of the accessory pathway no arrhythmia could be induced. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION: Although a variety of ablation techniques have been developed in the treatment of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), there have been few reports discussing the location of the optimal target site. Based on our early experiences, we hypothesized that radiofrequency (RF) current applied around the upper margin of the coronary sinus ostium (UCSO) results in the most effective and safe treatment of AVNRT. METHODS AND RESULTS: To confirm our hypothesis, the efficacy of RF currents applied around the UCSO guided by local electrograms in 59 patients (group B: predetermined focal mapping approach) were compared with the outcomes in 60 other patients previously treated with the standard electrogram-guided mapping method starting around the lower margin of the coronary sinus ostium (group A). The precise location of ablation catheters at successful sites (S) was also evaluated. All the patients were successfully treated without complications. Significantly fewer RF pulses and lower energies were needed in group B patients (mean RF applications: 4.3 vs 1.4 applications, mean total energy delivered: 4,699 vs 2,236 J in groups A and B, respectively, P < 0.01). Detailed analyses of the anatomical locations of S using CS venography in group B patients who received only a single RF application (46 patients) revealed that the distance between His and S varied according to the length of Koch's triangle, while that between S and UCSO was relatively constant. In 85 % of these 46 patients, S was located within 5 mm above and below the level of the UCSO. CONCLUSION: RF applications around the UCSO guided by local electrograms yielded excellent outcomes in AVNRT patients with wide varieties in the size of Koch's triangle. The optimal target site was located within 5 mm above and below the level of UCSO along the tricuspid annulus. 相似文献

A 4-month-old infant presented with incessant SVT and severe failure to thrive. At EP study, orthodromic-reciprocating tachycardia using an anteroseptal accessory pathway was identified. Detailed mapping on the right atrial septum failed to disclose a distinctly early site of atrial activation or a near-field pathway potential. Mapping in the noncoronary cusp of the aortic valve identified a discrete pathway potential that was successfully targeted for ablation. At 12-month follow-up after the procedure, there had been no recurrence of tachycardia.
Conclusion: Myocardial fibers above the aortic valve cusps may constitute the atrioventricular bypass connection and can be identified and targeted for successful ablation even in infants. 相似文献

Catheter Ablation Techniques in AVNRT. Radiofrequency catheter ablation has been established as a first-line curative treatment modality in patients with symptomatic AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). The successful sites of stepwise catheter ablation approaches of the so-called fast and slow pathways strongly suggest that AVNRT involves the atrial approaches to the AV node. The typical fast pathway ablation sites are located anterosuperior toward the apex of the triangle of Koch, which also contains the compact AV node, whereas the usual slow pathway ablation sites are located posteroinferior toward the base of the triangle of Koch at a greater distance to the compact AV node and bundle of His. Accordingly, ablation studies with large patient cohorts have demonstrated that fast pathway ablation carries a higher risk of inadvertent complete AV block. Thus, the slow pathway is clearly the primary target site, and fast pathway ablation is rarely necessary. Different approaches for slow pathway ablation have been elaborated: anatomically oriented stepwise techniques, ablation guided by double potentials recorded within the area of the slow pathway insertion, and combined techniques. The modern concept of AVNRT suggests that this arrhythmia involves the highly complex three-dimensional nonuniform anisotropic AV junctional area. Accordingly, mapping and ablation studies demonstrated that the anterior approach is not identical with fast pathway ablation, and the posterior approach is not identical with slow pathway ablation. Therefore, it is essential for interventional electrophysiologists to familiarize themsdves with the anatomic and electrophysiologic details of this complex and variable specialized AV junctional region. In this review, the anatomic and pathophysiologic aspects of the AV junctional area as they relate to interventional therapy are summarized briefly, and the catheter techniques for ablation of the so-called fast and slow AV nodal pathways for the treatment of AVNRT are described. 相似文献
