The effect of contrast dye injection and balloon inflation on QTC and QTC dispersion in 12 leads surface ECG during PTCA

چکیده
BACKGROUND: Considering that determining the effect of both contrast dye injection and balloon inflation on electrophysiological parameters would help us to predict the ischemic event during PTCA, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of these factors on QTc and QTc dispersion during PTCA in Isfahan. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, consecutive patients undergoing elective PTCA in Chamran hospital in Isfahan enrolled. All patients were in sinus rhythm. A 12-lead electrocardiogram was continuously recorded before (baseline) and during PTCA after dye injection and balloon inflation. QTc and QT dispersion was calculated in all 12 leads of electrocardiogram during the mentioned times and compared with each other. RESULTS: 33 patients with mean age of 49.1 ± 16.2 years were studied. Anatomic distribution of the coronary artery stenosis was as follows: left anterior descending artery (LAD) in 76.7% patients, left circumflex (Cx) in 16.6% and right coronary (RCA) in 6.66%. Mean of QTc at baseline, after contrast dye injection and after balloon inflation was 423.9 ± 28.5, 437 ± 29 and 437 ± 22 msec, respectively (P < 0.05). Mean of QTc dispersion at baseline, after contrast dye injection and after balloon inflation was 92.3 ± 7.2, 95.4 ± 8.3 and 93.75 ± 7.5, respectively

متن کاملThe Acute Effect of Passive Smoking on QT Dispersion in 95 Healthy Men
Background: Passive cigarette smoking is a known cause of a variety of diseases. However, most of the studies done in this field have focused on its chronic effects on human health. Studies considering the acute effect of smoking on QT dispersion, on the other hand, with its known predictive role in the occurrence ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death are sparse. Objectives: This st...
متن کاملThe Acute Effect of Cigarette Smoking on QT Dispersion
Background: Cigarette smoking has several known detrimental effect on cardiovascular system. QT dispersion (QTd) is among the important predictors of cardiac death. Objective: To assess the acute effect of smoking of a single standard cigarette on QT and QTc (corrected QT) dispersion, hence on the risk of ventricular arrhythmias in healthy smokers and non-smokers. Methods: 111 healthy men wit...
متن کاملQTc dispersion predicts cardiac mortality in the elderly: the Rotterdam Study.
BACKGROUND Increased QTc dispersion has been associated with an increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac death in selected patient populations. We examined the association between computerized QTc-dispersion measurements and mortality in a prospective analysis of the population-based Rotterdam Study among men and women aged > or = 55 years. METHODS AND RESULTS QTc dispersion was...
متن کاملValue of the intracoronary electrocardiogram to monitor myocardial ischemia during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
To enhance detection of ischemia during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), unipolar intracoronary electrocardiograms (ECGs) were recorded during PTCA in 25 patients from the tips of guidewires positioned distal to stenoses being dilated. Surface electrocardiographic leads chosen to reflect likely areas of reversible ischemia during PTCA were recorded simultaneously. In 21 of...
