The aim of the study was to investigate the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients who had a planar QRS-T angle >90 degrees versus <or=90 degrees.
MATERIAL/METHODS: Coronary angiography was performed in 1,229 consecutive patients. Obstructive CAD was diagnosed if there was >50% obstruction of >or=1 major coronary artery. All QRS-T angle measurements were made from a 12-lead electrocardiogram by 2 authors who agreed on the measurement and who were blinded to the coronary angiographic findings. A QRS-T angle >90 degrees was considered abnormal.
Obstructive CAD of 2 or 3 vessels was present in 309 of 495 patients (62%) with a planar QRS-T angle >90 degrees and in 250 of 734 patients (34%) with a planar QRS-T angle <or=90 degrees . (p<0.0001). Stepwise logistic regression analyses showed that significant independent risk factors for 2- or 3-vessel CAD were age (odds ratio =1.05), male gender (odds ratio =1.8), black race (odds ratio =0.34), unstable angina (odds ratio =0.16), positive stress test (odds ratio =3.0), hypertension (odds ratio =3.0), dyslipidemia (odds ratio =2.9), QRS-T angle (odds ratio =7.2), left bundle branch block (odds ratio =2.9), right bundle branch block (odds ratio =0.17), smoking (odds ratio =9.7), and body mass index >or=30 kg/m2 (odds ratio =1.5).
The prevalence of 2- or 3-vessel obstructive CAD was significantly higher in patients with a planar QRS-T angle >90 degrees than in patients with a planar QRS-T angle <or=90 degrees (p<0.0001).
本研究旨在探讨平面 QRS-T 角>90 度与<=90 度的患者中冠状动脉疾病(CAD)严重程度。
材料/方法:对 1229 例连续患者进行冠状动脉造影。如果>or=1 个主要冠状动脉的>50%阻塞,则诊断为阻塞性 CAD。由两位作者从 12 导联心电图中进行所有 QRS-T 角度测量,两位作者均同意该测量值,并且对冠状动脉造影结果均不知情。>90 度的 QRS-T 角被认为是异常的。
在平面 QRS-T 角>90 度的 495 例患者中有 309 例(62%)和平面 QRS-T 角<=90 度的 734 例患者中有 250 例(34%)存在 2 或 3 支血管阻塞性 CAD。(p<0.0001)。逐步逻辑回归分析表明,2 或 3 支 CAD 的显著独立危险因素是年龄(优势比=1.05)、男性(优势比=1.8)、黑种人(优势比=0.34)、不稳定型心绞痛(优势比=0.16)、阳性应激试验(优势比=3.0)、高血压(优势比=3.0)、血脂异常(优势比=2.9)、QRS-T 角(优势比=7.2)、左束支传导阻滞(优势比=2.9)、右束支传导阻滞(优势比=0.17)、吸烟(优势比=9.7)和体重指数>or=30 kg/m2(优势比=1.5)。
平面 QRS-T 角>90 度的患者中 2 或 3 支血管阻塞性 CAD 的患病率明显高于平面 QRS-T 角<=90 度的患者(p<0.0001)。
