BACKGROUND: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk is elevated following acute myocardial infarction (MI). The time course of SCD susceptibility post-MI requires further investigation. METHODS: In this observational cohort study, we employed state-of-the-art noninvasive ECG techniques to track the daily time course of cardiac electrical instability and autonomic function following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-STEMI (NSTEMI). Preventice BodyGuardian MINI-EL Holters continuously recorded ECGs for 7 days at hospital discharge and at 40 days for STEMI (N = 5) or at 90 days for NSTEMI patients (N = 5). Cardiac electrical instability was assessed by T-wave alternans (TWA) and T-wave heterogeneity (TWH); autonomic tone was determined by rMSSD-heart rate variability (HRV). RESULTS: TWA was severely elevated (≥60 μV) in STEMI patients (80 ± 10.3 μV) at discharge and throughout the first recording period but declined by 50% to 40 ± 2.3 μV (p = .03) by Day 40 and remained in the normal range (<47 μV). TWH, a related phenomenon analyzed from 12-lead ECGs, was reduced by 63% in the five STEMI patients from discharge to normal (<80 μV) at follow-up (105 ± 27.3 to 39 ± 3.3 μV, p < .04) but increased by 65% in a STEMI case (89 to 147 μV), who received a wearable defibrillator vest and later implantable cardioverter defibrillator. In NSTEMI patients, TWA was borderline abnormal (47 ± 3.3 μV) at discharge and declined by 19% to normal (38 ± 1.2 μV) by Day 90 (p = .05). An overall reciprocal increase in rMSSD-HRV suggested recovery of vagal tone. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides proof-of-principle for tracking post-MI SCD risk in individual patients with implications for personalized therapy.
背景:急性心肌梗死(MI)后,心源性猝死(SCD)风险增加。MI 后 SCD 易感性的时间过程需要进一步研究。
方法:在这项观察性队列研究中,我们采用最先进的非侵入性心电图技术,跟踪 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)和非 ST 段抬高型心肌梗死(NSTEMI)后心脏电不稳定性和自主功能的日常时间过程。预防性 BodyGuardian MINI-EL 动态心电图仪在出院时和 STEMI 患者的 40 天(N=5)或 NSTEMI 患者的 90 天(N=5)时连续记录 7 天的心电图。通过 T 波交替(TWA)和 T 波异质性(TWH)评估心脏电不稳定性;通过 rMSSD-心率变异性(HRV)确定自主神经张力。
结果:STEMI 患者在出院时(80±10.3μV)和整个第一个记录期内 TWA 严重升高(≥60μV),但在第 40 天下降了 50%至 40±2.3μV(p=0.03),并保持在正常范围内(<47μV)。TWH 是从 12 导联心电图分析得出的一种相关现象,在 5 名 STEMI 患者中,从出院到随访时(105±27.3 至 39±3.3μV,p<0.04),TWH 降低了 63%,而在一名接受可穿戴除颤背心且后来植入心脏除颤器的 STEMI 患者中,TWH 增加了 65%(89 至 147μV)。在 NSTEMI 患者中,TWA 在出院时处于临界异常(47±3.3μV),并在第 90 天下降了 19%至正常(38±1.2μV)(p=0.05)。rMSSD-HRV 的整体反向增加表明迷走神经张力恢复。
结论:本研究为个体化治疗提供了 MI 后 SCD 风险个体患者的初步证据。
