摘要
Most of atrial fibrillation(AF)pts have organic artrial injury which ismaintained at modified AV conduction as an AV substrate.Nevertheless this procedure allows to control ventricular contractionsrate(VCR)in AF pts.Supposing that "slow" pathways potentials arepotentials of atrial fibers eonneated with the AV node we used highfrequency current in the meadseptal right atrial area in 24 pts aged 52-74(mean 66±4.9 yrs)having paroxysmal(n=16)and chronic(n=8)AF.AF was induced in pts who had sinus rhythm before ablation andif VSR exceeded 50-70 beats/min the procedure was repeated.Favourable results were obtained in 18(75% of pts).These pts didnot reveal decreased Wenekebach point or increased effectiverefractory period of the AV junction.VSR decreased from 163±27 to65±9(p=0.001)during AF.Then atropine was given and if VSRexceeded 120/min we considered the procedure to be ineffective.Digoxine and beta-blockers which were ineffective before ablationbecame effective to control VSR after it.From 6 to 12 months afterthe procedure,these pts underwent exercise testing(AF was inducedin the sinus rhythm pts):maximum VCR was 116±10.8/min.Becauseof the procedure inefficacy,complete AV block was reached duringablation in 2(8%)pts in whom artificial pacemaker was implanted.Thus modification of AV conduction is an effective procedure tocontrol VSR in AF pts and allows to flee 75% of pts fromantiarrhythmic drugs.
