Ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation are well-known arrhythmias in patients with Brugada syndrome. This study evaluated the characteristics of the atrial arrhythmogenic substrate using the signal-averaged electrogram (SAECG) in patients with Brugada syndrome.
SAECGs were performed during normal sinus rhythm in 23 normal volunteers (control group), 21 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF; PAF group), and 21 with Brugada syndrome (Brugada group).
The filtered P wave duration (fPd) in the control, Brugada, and PAF groups was 113.9±12.9ms, 125.3±15.0ms, and 137.1±16.3ms, respectively. The fPd in the PAF group was significantly longer compared to that in the control and Brugada groups (p<0.05). The fPd in the Brugada group was significantly longer than that in the control group (p<0.05) and significantly shorter than that in the PAF group (p<0.05).
Patients with Brugada syndrome had abnormal P waves on the SAECG. The abnormal P waves on the SAECG in Brugada syndrome patients may have intermediate characteristics between control and PAF patients.
室颤和房颤是布加综合征患者中众所周知的心律失常。本研究使用信号平均心电图(SAECG)评估了布加综合征患者心房致心律失常基质的特征。
对23名正常志愿者(对照组)、21名阵发性房颤患者(PAF;PAF组)和21名布加综合征患者(布加综合征组)在正常窦性心律期间进行SAECG检查。
对照组、布加综合征组和PAF组的滤波P波时限(fPd)分别为113.9±12.9毫秒、125.3±15.0毫秒和137.1±16.3毫秒。PAF组的fPd显著长于对照组和布加综合征组(p<0.05)。布加综合征组的fPd显著长于对照组(p<0.05),且显著短于PAF组(p<0.05)。
布加综合征患者的SAECG上有异常P波。布加综合征患者SAECG上的异常P波可能具有介于对照组和PAF患者之间的中间特征。
