致心律失常性右室心肌病患者Epsilon波的检出率

Objective To investigate the prevalence of Epsilon wave in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventrieular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Methods The Epsilon wave was detected in 32 patients [24 men, mean age (42.3±13.3) years] with ARVC using three different electrocardiography (ECG) recording methods: standard twelve leads ECG (S-ECG), right precordial leads ECG (R-ECG) and Fontaine bipolar precordiai leads ECG (F-ECG). The Epsilon wave was defined as wiggle, small spike wave and smooth potential between the end of the QRS complex and the beginning of the ST segment. Results Epsilon wave was detected in 37.5%, 37.5% and 50.0% patients with ARVC by S-ECG, R-ECG and F-ECG respectively. The detection rates derived from the three recording methods were similar(P ＞ 0.05). The Epsilon wave was only detectable by S-ECG in one case, by R-ECG in three cases, and by F-ECG in five cases. The detection rate of Epsilon wave was 50.0% by combined use of S-ECG and R-ECG (SR-ECG), 56.3% by combined use of S-ECG and F-ECG (SF-ECG), and 65.6% by combined use of the three recording methods (SRF-ECG). The detection rate was significantly higher by SF-ECG (56.3%) and SRF-ECG (65.6%) than by S-ECG alone (37.5%, all P ＜0.05). Most Epsilon waves detected by the S-ECG, R-ECG and F-ECG were small spiked waves. Conclusion Combined use of S-ECG, F-ECG and R-ECG could increase the detection rate of Epsilon wave in patients with ARVC.

The value of different electrocardiographic depolarization criteria in the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy

Background

The use of electrocardiographic (ECG) depolarization and repolarization criteria plays a large role in the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C). Different ECG algorithms should be analyzed in making the diagnosis of ARVD/C with the use of normal and modified recording techniques.

Methods

In a cohort of 343 patients (210 men and 133 women; mean age, 46.0 ± 13.7 years) meeting the Task Force of the Working Group on Myocardial and Pericardial Diseases of the European Society of Cardiology and the Scientific Council on Cardiomyopathies of the International Society and Federation of Cardiology diagnostic criteria for ARVD/C, the value of different ECG criteria (eg, localized right precordial QRS prolongation defined as QRS duration in (V1+V2+V3)/(V4+V5+V6) of 1.2 or higher, right precordial QRS prolongation with QRS in V1-3 of 110 milliseconds or higher, epsilon potentials in the right precordial leads, S-wave upstroke in V1-3 of 55 milliseconds or higher, and right precordial T-wave inversions) was analyzed with the use of a normal recording technique and a highly amplified and modified recording technique (n = 207) at a paper speed of 50 mm/s. Fifty-two phenotypically and genotypically unaffected individuals identified by systematic screening in 24 families (30 men; mean age, 42.4 ± 8.3 years) were treated as control subjects.

Results

In the normal as well as highly amplified and modified recording techniques, the incidence of localized right precordial QRS prolongation was 98% (100%), that of QRS in V1-3 of 110 milliseconds or higher was 75% (80%), that of prolonged right precordial S-wave upstroke was 84% (60%), that of epsilon potentials was 23% (77%), and that of right precordial T-wave inversions was 55%. Four of 6 patients without the phenomenon of localized right precordial QRS prolongation with the use of the normal recording technique had a prolonged S-wave upstroke of 55 milliseconds or higher. In the control group, localized right precordial QRS prolongation, QRS in V1-3 of 110 milliseconds or higher, and epsilon potentials could not be identified. An S-wave upstroke of 55 milliseconds or higher was present in 2 of 3 cases, and T-wave inversions were found in 3.

Conclusions

Electrocardiographic depolarization criteria for ARVD/C analyzed in this large cohort of patients meeting the International Society and Federation of Cardiology/European Society of Cardiology criteria presented with high sensitivity and specificity in comparison with those in the control group of phenotypically and genotypically unaffected individuals defined by systematic screening in 24 families with ARVD/C. The incidence of right precordial T-wave inversions was much lower, indicating that not only patients with overt right ventricular dilatation and dysfunction were included. Electrocardiographic algorithms, including localized right precordial QRS prolongation, prolonged S-wave upstroke, and epsilon potentials, with the use of the normal recording technique and the amplified and modified recording technique at a paper speed of 50 mm/s contribute significantly to the noninvasive diagnosis of ARVD/C.

The electrocardiogram in right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia. How can the electrocardiogram assist in understanding the pathologic and functional changes of the heart in this disease?

The electrocardiogram (ECG) provides important information to aid in the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D). The ECG changes may be explained by the pathophysiology of the disease. The proximity of the right ventricle (RV) to the anterior chest leads (V₁ to V₄) explains why the characteristic ECG abnormalities are most prominent in those lends. The specific ECG abnormalities reflect the pathophysiology of the disease including T-wave inversion due to scarring of the free wall of the RV, prolonged S-wave duration due to slow depolarization of the terminal part of the QRS because the RV is the last part of the heart to undergo depolatization, and epsilon waves due to slow conduction in the RV. The extent of ECG abnormalities correlate with the degree of structural change in the RV.

目的 探讨不同体表心电图记录方法对国人致心律失常性有室心肌病(arrhythmogenic right ventricular eardiomyopathy,ARVC)患者Epsilon波检出率的影响.方法 共人选ARVC患者32例,男性24例,女性8例,年龄18～70(42.3±13.3)岁.于安静仰卧位记录窦性心律情况下的标准12导联同步心电图(standard twelve leads electrocardiography,S-ECG)、右胸导联心电图(right precordial leads ECG,R-ECG)及Fontaine双极胸导联心电图(Fontaine bipolar precordial leads ECG,F-ECG)o Epsilon波判断标准为位于QRS波之后、sT段起始部的低波幅棘波、振荡波或平缓电位.结果 该组病例S-ECG、R-ECG及F-ECG对Epsilon波的检出率分别为37.5%、37.5%和50.0%,三种心电图记录方法之间Epsilon波检出率的比较差异无统计学意义(均为P＞0.05).其中1例Epsilon波仅见于S-ECG,3例仅见于R-ECG,5例仅见于F-ECG.S-ECG联合R-ECG的检出率为50.0%,S-ECG联合F-ECG的检出率为56.3%,三种记录方法的联合检出率为65.6%,S-ECG联合F-ECG的枪出率与S-ECG相比明显提高(P＜0.05),联合三种心电图记录方法的检出率与S-ECG相比有显著提高(P＜0.01).结论 联合使用S-ECG、R-ECG及F-ECG三种心电图记录方法,可以显著提高ARVC患者Epsilon波的检出率,且三种记录方法之间可以相互补充.
