To examine the association between polarity of atrial premature complexes (APCs) and stroke.
A prospective study.
A total of 11 092 participants in the Jichi Medical School cohort study were included after excluding patients with atrial fibrillation. We analysed stroke events in patients with (n=136) and without (n=10 956) APCs. With regard to polarity of APCs, patients were subcategorised into having (1) negative (n=39) or non-negative (n=97) P waves in augmented vector right (aVR), and (2) positive (n=28) or non-positive (n=108) P waves in augmented vector left (aVL).
The primary endpoint was stroke.
Patients with APCs were significantly older than those without APCs (64.1±9.2 vs 55.1±11.6 years, p<0.001). The mean follow-up period was 11.8±2.4 years. Stroke events were observed in patients with (n=13 events) and without (n=411 events) APCs. This difference was significant (log-rank 12.9, p<0.001); however, APCs were not an independent predictor of stroke after adjusting for age, sex, height, body mass index, current drinking, diabetes, systolic blood pressure, prior myocardial infarction, prior stroke and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (p=0.15). The incidence of stroke in patients with APCs and non-negative P wave in aVR was significantly higher than in patients without APCs (log-rank 20.1, p<0.001), and non-negative P wave in aVR was revealed to be an independent predictor of stroke (HR 1.84, 95% CI 1.02 to 3.30). The incidence of stroke in patients with APC with non-positive P wave in aVL was also significantly higher than in patients without APC (log-rank 15.3, p<0.001), and non-positive P wave in aVL was an independent predictor of stroke (HR 1.92, 95% CI 1.05 to 3.54).
The presence of APCs with non-negative P wave in aVR or non-positive P wave in aVL on 12-lead ECG was associated with a higher risk of incident stroke.
探讨房性期前收缩(APCs)极性与中风的关系。
前瞻性研究。
在排除房颤患者后,共纳入 11092 名参加日本顺天堂医学院队列研究的患者。我们分析了有(n=136)和无 APCs(n=10956)的患者的中风事件。根据 APCs 的极性,患者分为(1)aVR 中具有(n=39)或不具有(n=97)负 P 波,以及(2)aVL 中具有(n=28)或不具有(n=108)正 P 波。
主要终点为中风。
有 APCs 的患者比无 APCs 的患者年龄更大(64.1±9.2 岁 vs 55.1±11.6 岁,p<0.001)。平均随访时间为 11.8±2.4 年。有 APCs 的患者(n=13 例)和无 APCs 的患者(n=411 例)均观察到中风事件。这一差异具有统计学意义(对数秩检验 12.9,p<0.001);然而,在调整年龄、性别、身高、体重指数、当前饮酒、糖尿病、收缩压、既往心肌梗死、既往中风和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇后,APCs 不是中风的独立预测因素(p=0.15)。在 aVR 中具有非负 P 波的 APCs 患者的中风发生率明显高于无 APCs 的患者(对数秩检验 20.1,p<0.001),并且 aVR 中的非负 P 波被证明是中风的独立预测因素(HR 1.84,95%CI 1.02 至 3.30)。在 aVL 中具有非正 P 波的 APCs 患者的中风发生率也明显高于无 APCs 的患者(对数秩检验 15.3,p<0.001),并且 aVL 中的非正 P 波是中风的独立预测因素(HR 1.92,95%CI 1.05 至 3.54)。
12 导联心电图上 aVR 中具有非负 P 波或 aVL 中具有非正 P 波的 APCs 存在与中风的发生风险增加相关。
