Ectopic Ventricular Prematurity
نویسنده
چکیده
In order to determine the role of the coupling interval of a premature ventricular contraction (PVC) in the development of paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia (PVT) during the early phase of acute myocardial infarction in man, 52 male patients with documented acute myocardial infarction had 24-hour Holter monitoring commenced within 24 hours of the onset of prolonged chest pain. Review of the tape recordings revealed that 27 patients had PVT documented, while 25 patients did not. Analysis of the data on the two groups showed that the frequency of PVCs, coupled PVCs, and accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) were found to be associated with a significantly increased incidence of ventricular tachycardia. The mean coupling interval of the PVCs initiating episodes of ventricular tachycardia was not significantly different from either the mean coupling interval of the isolated PVCs in the patients with PVT

Characteristics of ventricular ectopic beats in patients with ventricular tachycardia. A 24-hour Holter monitor study.
A total of 99 consecutive 24-hour Holter recordings with ventricular tachycardia were reviewed. Ventricular premature beats which occurred alone, and ventricular premature beats which initiated ventricular tachycardia were examined to determine which characteristics correlated with occurrence of ventricular tachycardia and which predicted rate and duration of ventricular tachycardia. The preced...
متن کاملAbnormal Left Ventricular Mechanics of Ventricular Ectopic Beats: Insights Into Origin and Coupling Interval in Premature Ventricular Contraction-Induced Cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony caused by premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) has been proposed as a mechanism of PVC-induced cardiomyopathy. We sought to understand the impact of different PVC locations and coupling intervals (prematurity) on LV regional mechanics and global function of the PVC beat itself. METHODS AND RESULTS Using our premature pacing algorithm, pentage...

متن کاملThe Efficacy of Isochronal 3D Mapping-Based Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmia.
Treatment of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) commonly involves ablating sites showing electrograms with the earliest activity relative to the VA, but there is no threshold value for prematurity guaranteeing success. Ablation of sites with great prematurity can still result in failure.We hypothesized that isochronal map area (ISCA), derived from isochrones indicating electrogram prematurity, could...
