Hazard of cardiac catheterization in patients with ventricular pre-excitation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The scalar and intracardiac electrocardiograms recorded at the time of cardiac catheterization in 5 patients with ventricular pre-excitation have been analysed. Four patients had paroxysmal tachycardia on one or more occasions during the procedure. In each case where complete records were available the dysrhythmia was an atrial reciprocating tachycardia and this rhythm wasnoted at some time during each of thefourprocedures. Sinus rhythm could often be restored by stimulating the heart wall with the tip of the catheter. Two out of three patients with no previous history of dysrhythmia developed tachycardia for thefirst time during cardiac catheterization.

The body surface potential map (BSPM) may reflect regional myocardial electrical activity. This technique can thus provide information regarding the excitation of ventricles. This study is an attempt to evaluate the usefulness of BSPM in determining the sites of the atrioventricular (AV) accessory pathway (AP) in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (W-P-W) syndrome. The BSPMs were obtained from...
