It refers to a fibroid or fibromuscular structure that exists in the ventricle besides the normal connection of papillary muscle and mitral or tricuspid valve. A large number of clinical studies have suggested that there is a significant correlation between false tendons and premature ventricular complexes. However, few studies have verified this correlation during radiofrequency catheter ablation of premature ventricular complexes.CASE SUMMARY A 45-year-old male was admitted to receive radiofrequency ablation for symptomatic premature ventricular complexes. A three-dimensional model of the left ventricle was established by intracardiac echocardiography using the CartoSound^TM mapping system. In addition to the left anterior papillary muscle,the posterior papillary muscle was mapped. False tendons were found at the base of the interventricular septum, and the other end was connected to the left ventricular free wall near the apex. An irrigated touch force catheter was advanced into the left ventricle via the retrograde approach. The earliest activation site was marked at the interventricular septum attachment of the false tendons and was successfully ablated.CONCLUSION This case verified that false tendons can cause premature ventricular complexes and may be cured by radiofrequency ablation guided by intracardiac echocardiography with the Carto Sound TM system.展开更多

Qing Xin An Shen Fang ([symbol: see text] a formula for clearing away the heart-heat to induce tranquilization) was used in the treatment group and compared with mexiletine and Fu Fang Dan Shen Tablets ([symbol: see text] Compound Salvia Tablets) used in the control group.

The control group was treated with routine western medicine, and the treatment group was treated with routine western medicine combined with Huangku Qingxin Mixture, both for one month. Then, observed the changes of Myerburg score, SAS score, symptom score and dynamic electrocardiogram in the two groups before and after treatment.[Results] The total effective rate of clinical symptoms was 82.81% in the treatment group and 64.52% in the control group. Through comparison of two groups, the difference was statistically significant ( P <0.05). The total effective rate of dynamic electrocardiogram was 84.38% in the treatment group and 58.06% in the control group. Through comparison of two groups, the difference was statistically significant ( P <0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference being found in the comparison of the scores of Myerburg and SAS in the two groups ( P >0.05). After treatment, Myerburg score and SAS score in the two groups were lower than those before treatment ( P <0.05);Myerburg score and SAS score in the treatment group were both better than those in the control group ( P <0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the comparison of the QT interval dispersion (QTd) and the corrected QT interval dispersion (QTcd) by Bazette formula ( P >0.05). After treatment, the results of QTd and QTcd in the two groups were lower than those before treatment ( P <0.05);the results of QTd and QTcd in the treatment group were better than those in the control group ( P <0.05).[Conclusions] The application of Huangku Qingxin Mixture combined with Metoprolol Tartrate Tablets can effectively reduce Myerburg scores and SAS scores in patients with ventricular premature beat, shorten QTd and QTcd, and improve the life quality of patients.

According to the origin of RVOT-VPC, it was divided into 2 groups, one is from ventricular septum, and the other one is from free wall, and in each group, male and female are observed separately.Results:(1) HRV before RF ablation: 1) rMSSD in the female patients with RVOT-VPC from free wall was significantly lower than those from septum;2) frequency domain index (W, LF) were higher than normal range, and in male patients, LF/HF<1 were found, but in female patients, LF/HF>1. (2) HRV after RF ablation: 1) Significant changes were found in female patients with RVOT-VPC from septum, rMSSD, PNN50, HF and LF decreased;2) In female patients with RVOT-VPC from free wall, rMSSD decreased;3) In male patients, there were no significant HRV changes found before and after RF ablation. (3) Heart rate changes: 1) In female patients with RVOT-VPC from septum, heart rate decreased significantly ((76.47±9.47) bpm vs (69.29±14.59) bpm)2) No significant changes were found in male patients.Conclusion:In patients with RVOT-PVC sympathetic and vagus excitability increased, and after catheter ablation, in female patients with RVOT-PVC originated from septum, the HRV index relating to sympathetic and vagus excitability significantly decreased.展开更多

Our purpose was to investigate the effect of burden and origin sites on left ventricular (LV) function in patients with PVCs by 7-day Holter electrocardiography (ECG). From May 2012 to August 2013, 112 consecutive patients with PVCs were recruited from the authors' affiliated hospital. All patients received 2-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography, 12-lead routing ECG and 7-days Holter ECG. Serum N-terminal pro- brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels were measured. A total of 102 participants with PVCs were included in the final analysis. Origin of PVCs from the tricuspid annulus had the highest burden and NT-proBNP level. LV papillary muscle had a higher LV ejection fraction (EF) level and a lower LV end-systolic dimension (ESD) than other PVC foci (P〈0.05). The high burden group had a higher LV end-diastolic dimension (EDD) and LVESD but lower LVEF than the other two groups (P〈0.05). Female, older age, physical work, and history of PVCs had a significantly positive correlation with symptoms. Male, older age, physical work, and high burden were positive predictors of enlarged LVEDD, LVESD and higher serum NT-proBNP level, but lower LVEF. Seven-day dynamic ECG Holter monitor showed the true PVC burden on patients with PVCs. PVCs with a lower burden or origin from the LV papillary muscle and the fascicle were relatively benign, while PVCs with a higher burden or origin from the tricuspid annulus may lead to cardiac dysfunction.展开更多

Male, older age, physical work, and high burden were positive predictors of enlarged LVEDD, LVESD and higher serum NT-proBNP level, but lower LVEF. Seven-day dynamic ECG Holter monitor showed the true PVC burden on patients with PVCs. PVCs with a lower burden or origin from the LV papillary muscle and the fascicle were relatively benign, while PVCs with a higher burden or origin from the tricuspid annulus may lead to cardiac dysfunction.
文摘Background:A high ablation success rate for ventricular arrhythmia (VA) from outflow tract has been achieved,but some of them cannot be eliminated from endocardium.We investigated the association between adenosine sensitivity and ablation success/recurrence rates with a nonirrigated or an irrigated catheter.Methods:According to adenosine test,all patients were divided into a sensitive group (S group) or an insensitive group (Ⅰ group).The patients of each group were randomized into a nonirrigated catheter (NA) subgroup or an irrigated catheter (IA) subgroup with a 2∶1 ratio.Results:In S group of 122 patients (84 in NA subgroup),the ablation success rate was similar between two subgroups (94.7% vs.90.5%,P 〉 0.05),but in Ⅰ group of 94 patients (60 in NA subgroup),it was higher in IA subgroup (94.1%) than that in NA subgroup (73.3%,P 〈 0.05).The success rate using nonirrigated catheter was significantly higher in S group (90.5%) than that in Ⅰ group (73.3%,P 〈 0.01),and the recurrence rate was lower in S group than that in Ⅰ group (1.3%,vs.13.6%,P 〈 0.05).On the contrary,the success rate and the recurrence rate using irrigated catheter were similar between S group and 1 group (94.7%,94.1%,P 〉 0.05,vs.2.8%,6.3%,P 〉 0.05).Conclusions:Adenosine insensitivity is associated with a lower success rate and a higher recurrence rate for VA patients undergoing nonirrigated catheter ablation.Thus,irrigated catheters should be the first choice for VA ablation in adenosine insensitive patients.
