Postpacing interval (PPI) after right ventricular (RV) pacing entrainment minus tachycardia cycle length (TCL) with a correction for atrioventricular (AV) node delay (corrected PPI-TCL) was useful to differentiate atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) from orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia (ORT). However, the value of corrected PPI-TCL in determining the site of the accessory pathway (AP) in ORT has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the corrected PPI-TCL is useful in differentiating ORT using a left-sided AP from a right-sided AP.
We studied 52 patients with ORT using a left-sided AP and 13 patients with a right-sided AP. The PPI was measured upon cessation of the RV pacing at a cycle length 10-40 ms shorter than the TCL. The corrected PPI-TCL was calculated from the subtraction of the increment in AV nodal conduction time of the first PPI from the PPI-TCL.
The mean corrected PPI-TCL was 83 ± 20 ms in patients with ORT using a left-sided AP and 27 ± 19 ms in patients with a right-sided AP (P ≤ 0.001). All patients with ORT using a left-sided AP except three patients with left septal AP and none of the patients with ORT using a right-sided AP had a corrected PPI-TCL > 55 ms.
The corrected PPI-TCL after the RV pacing entrainment is useful to guide differentiating ORT using a left-sided AP from a right-sided AP.
右心室(RV)起搏拖带后的起搏后间期(PPI)减去心动过速周期长度(TCL)并校正房室(AV)结延迟(校正后的PPI-TCL),有助于区分房室结折返性心动过速(AVNRT)和顺向性折返性心动过速(ORT)。然而,校正后的PPI-TCL在确定ORT中旁路(AP)部位的价值尚未得到研究。本研究的目的是评估校正后的PPI-TCL是否有助于鉴别使用左侧AP的ORT和右侧AP的ORT。
我们研究了52例使用左侧AP的ORT患者和13例使用右侧AP的ORT患者。在RV起搏停止时,以比TCL短10-40 ms的周期长度测量PPI。校正后的PPI-TCL通过从PPI-TCL中减去第一个PPI的房室结传导时间增量来计算。
使用左侧AP的ORT患者校正后的PPI-TCL平均值为83±20 ms,使用右侧AP的ORT患者为27±19 ms(P≤0.001)。除3例左间隔AP患者外,所有使用左侧AP的ORT患者以及所有使用右侧AP的ORT患者校正后的PPI-TCL均>55 ms。
RV起搏拖带后的校正PPI-TCL有助于鉴别使用左侧AP的ORT和右侧AP的ORT。
