Arrhythmogenic right-ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) can lead to RV dilatation. We hypothesized that electrocardiographic characteristics including QRS amplitudes in the extremity- and precordial leads, the S amplitude in lead V1 , and extent of T-wave negativity over the precordial leads are related to RV dilatation in this condition.
In 42 ARVC patients and 42 controls, we correlated total QRS amplitude in the extremity leads (∑QRSext ), precordial leads (∑QRSprec ) and in all leads (∑QRStot : summation of ∑QRSext and ∑QRSprec ), S amplitude in lead V1 and the extent of T-wave inversion in the precordial leads (V1 vs. beyond V1 ) with RV end diastolic diameter (RVEDD) by echocardiography.
In the ARVC group, the mean age was 46 ± 14 years, 31 patients were male, 28 had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), and 7 had a LV ejection fraction (EF) < 55%. The control group was age- and gender matched to the ARVC cohort. In contrast to controls, the ∑QRSext (regression coefficient (RC), -0.29; P = 0.020), ∑QRSprec (RC, -0.20; P = 0.015), and ∑QRStot (RC, -0.14; P = 0.009) were lower with RV dilatation in ARVC. S amplitude in lead V1 was not related to RV diameter (RC, -0.98; P = 0.088). Precordial T-wave inversion beyond lead V1 (V2 -V6 ) was associated with a larger RV diameter (RC, 8.58; P = 0.012).
Summed QRS amplitudes in the extremity and precordial leads, and T-wave inversion beyond lead V1 are associated with RV dilatation in patients with ARVC.
致心律失常性右室心肌病(ARVC)可导致右室扩张。我们推测,在此情况下,包括肢体导联和胸前导联的QRS波振幅、V1导联的S波振幅以及胸前导联T波倒置程度在内的心电图特征与右室扩张有关。
在42例ARVC患者和42例对照者中,我们通过超声心动图将肢体导联总QRS波振幅(∑QRSext)、胸前导联总QRS波振幅(∑QRSprec)以及所有导联总QRS波振幅(∑QRStot:∑QRSext与∑QRSprec之和)、V1导联S波振幅和胸前导联T波倒置程度(V1导联与V1导联以外导联)与右室舒张末期内径(RVEDD)进行相关性分析。
ARVC组平均年龄为46±14岁,31例为男性,28例植入了植入式心律转复除颤器(ICD),7例左室射血分数(EF)<55%。对照组在年龄和性别上与ARVC队列相匹配。与对照组相比,ARVC患者右室扩张时,∑QRSext(回归系数(RC),-0.29;P = 0.020)、∑QRSprec(RC,-0.20;P = 0.015)和∑QRStot(RC,-0.14;P = 0.009)较低。V1导联S波振幅与右室直径无关(RC,-0.98;P = 0.088)。V1导联以外导联(V2 - V6)的胸前导联T波倒置与更大的右室直径相关(RC,8.58;P = 0.012)。
ARVC患者肢体导联和胸前导联的QRS波振幅总和以及V1导联以外导联的T波倒置与右室扩张有关。
