We investigated the clinical value of Doppler echocardiography for determining the optimal setting of atrioventricular interval in patients with dual chamber pacemakers (DDD). In 38 patients with complete atrioventricular block and DDD pacemakers, the atrioventricular interval was prolonged in a stepwise fashion by 20 ms, from 90 to 250 ms, and cardiac stroke volume and transmitral flow were measured by pulsed Doppler echocardiography.
The optimal atrioventricular interval at which the cardiac stroke volume was maximal was 168.9 +/- 15.6 ms. The atrioventricular interval was 178.4 +/- 23.4 ms when the end of the A wave coincided with complete closure of the mitral valve.
There was a significant linear relationship between the optimal atrioventricular interval and the predicted optimal atrioventricular interval (Y = 86.2 +/- 0.5X, r = 0.70, standard error of the estimate [SEE] = 11.5, P < 0.01).
The optimal atrioventricular interval setting for DDD pacing can be successfully determined using Doppler echocardiography, which is a noninvasive, repeatable, and simple approach.
我们研究了多普勒超声心动图在确定双腔起搏器(DDD)患者房室间期最佳设置中的临床价值。在38例患有完全性房室传导阻滞且植入DDD起搏器的患者中,房室间期以20毫秒的步长从90毫秒延长至250毫秒,并通过脉冲多普勒超声心动图测量心搏量和二尖瓣血流。
心搏量最大时的最佳房室间期为168.9±15.6毫秒。当A波结束与二尖瓣完全关闭同时发生时,房室间期为178.4±23.4毫秒。
最佳房室间期与预测的最佳房室间期之间存在显著的线性关系(Y = 86.2±0.5X,r = 0.70,估计标准误差[SEE] = 11.5,P < 0.01)。
使用多普勒超声心动图可以成功确定DDD起搏的最佳房室间期设置,这是一种无创性、可重复且简单的方法。
