The aim of the study was to determine changes in QTc dispersion and QTc interval during the administration of atenolol and propafenone.
Eighty-five patients, 3 months after myocardial infarction, were randomized in 2 groups. The first group (n = 46) received atenolol 50 mg daily during 7 days and the second group (n = 39) propafenone 300 mg per os twice a day. QT interval was measured in 12 ECG leads before and after the treatment after 100% strip enlargement on a photocopy machine. For correction we used Bazett's formula. QTc dispersion was defined as the difference between the longest and the shortest QTc interval in 12 ECG leads.
QTc dispersion increased significantly with the severity of arrhythmia (< 50 premature ventricular complexes vs. ventricular tachycardia, 82.3 (18.1) vs. 110.0 (9.0) ms (p < 0.001)). QTc dispersion significantly decreases with the administration of atenolol (72.7 (14.8) vs. 63.6 (15.3)) (p < 0.001) as well as with propafenone (75.0 (17.7) vs. 63.2 (16.4)) (p < 0.001). QTc interval also decreases with atenolol (451 (28) vs. 431 (32)) (p < 0.01) while it does not change with propafenone administration (441 (26) vs. 444 (26)).
QTc dispersion is associated with ventricular tachycardia. Both atenolol and propafenone significantly decrease QTc dispersion. Atenolol also decreases QTc interval, while with propafenone it does not change.
本研究的目的是确定在使用阿替洛尔和普罗帕酮期间QTc离散度和QTc间期的变化。
85例心肌梗死后3个月的患者被随机分为2组。第一组(n = 46)在7天内每天服用50 mg阿替洛尔,第二组(n = 39)每天口服300 mg普罗帕酮,分两次服用。在治疗前后,通过在复印机上对心电图进行100%放大后,测量12导联心电图的QT间期。校正时我们使用Bazett公式。QTc离散度定义为12导联心电图中最长QTc间期与最短QTc间期之差。
QTc离散度随心律失常严重程度显著增加(< 50次室性早搏与室性心动过速相比,82.3(18.1)与110.0(9.0)ms(p < 0.001))。服用阿替洛尔后QTc离散度显著降低(72.7(14.8)与63.6(15.3))(p < 0.001),服用普罗帕酮后也显著降低(75.0(17.7)与63.2(16.4))(p < 0.001)。QTc间期服用阿替洛尔后也降低(451(28)与431(32))(p < 0.01),而服用普罗帕酮后无变化(441(26)与444(26))。
QTc离散度与室性心动过速有关。阿替洛尔和普罗帕酮均显著降低QTc离散度。阿替洛尔还降低QTc间期,而普罗帕酮则无变化。
