The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of QRS prolongation in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with exercise-induced ST-segment depression exclusively during the recovery period.
The study population consisted of 107 patients (90 males and 17 females) aged 39-70 (mean 59 +/- 7) years who underwent a treadmill exercise test using Bruce protocol and presented ST-segment depression limited to the recovery period. Angiographic data were available for all studied patients.
Among studied patients, 74 (69%) were found to have hemodynamically significant CAD, while the remaining 33 (31%) had normal coronary arteries. Concomitant QRS prolongation was revealed in 61 (82%) of the patients with angiographically documented CAD, while in 13 (18%) patients QRS duration remained unchanged. On the contrary, only 4 (12%) of the 33 patients with normal coronary arteries showed prolonged QRS duration during ST depression, while in the remaining 29 (88%) QRS duration remained unchanged.
The evaluation of the concomitant QRS duration changes may discriminate patients with truly ischemia-induced ST-segment depression limited to the recovery period.
本研究旨在评估仅在恢复期出现运动诱发ST段压低的患者中QRS波增宽对冠状动脉疾病(CAD)诊断的贡献。
研究人群包括107例年龄在39 - 70岁(平均59±7岁)的患者(90例男性和17例女性),他们接受了采用布鲁斯方案的平板运动试验,且ST段压低仅限于恢复期。所有研究患者均有血管造影数据。
在研究患者中,74例(69%)被发现有血流动力学显著意义的CAD,而其余33例(31%)冠状动脉正常。在血管造影证实有CAD的患者中,61例(82%)伴有QRS波增宽,而13例(18%)患者的QRS时限保持不变。相反,在33例冠状动脉正常的患者中,只有4例(12%)在ST段压低时QRS时限延长,其余29例(88%)QRS时限保持不变。
对伴随的QRS时限变化进行评估,可能有助于鉴别仅在恢复期出现真正缺血性诱发ST段压低的患者。
