致心律失常性右室心肌病患者Epsilon波的检出率

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.     

Epsilon波的前世今生

Epsilon()波从发现至今已有40余年,它是致心律失常性右室心肌病的主要诊断标准之一.由于在心电图上波较小,因此时有漏诊;通过调整心电图机的频响范围及走纸速度、加做右室或Fontaine导联等多种方法,可提高其检出率.近年来,在其他疾病中也发现了波.本文从波的发现和命名、检测方法、ε波的动态变化及其在其他疾病中的表...     

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.
