VT出現の防御因子と考えられるHFと,攻撃因子と考えられるLP指標の関連をもとにVT出現を検討した.洞調律のHCM 65例を対象に①HFとVT出現の関連をみた.②同時期にLPを施行した36例でLP陽性指標を加味してHFとVTとの関連を検討した.
VT(+)群はVT(−)群に比しLP陽性指標のfQRS,LAS 40,RMS 40には差はなかったが,HFは低値であった(p<0.01).HFが高度低値でLP指標が陽性であった2例中1例はVTから心室細動を,他の1例はsustained VTによりショックに陥った.HFが高度低値でもLP指標が正常な2例はVTがなかった.また,HFが正常であればLP指標が陽性でもVT出現と関連はみられないが,HFが軽度低下すればLP指標が陽性になるとVTを生じやすい傾向があった.HCMにおけるVT予知にはHFとLP両者の指標の関連を重視すべきである.
HF in Heart Rate Variability (HRV) which reduces vulnerability to ventricular arrhythmia, is revealed as adefence against ventricular tachycardia (VT). Late Potential (LP) in Signal Averaged Electrocardiogram (SAE) which means anatomic substrates of arrhyth- mias, is revealed as causative of VT. Purpose. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the combination of LP and HF is a predictor of VT in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Methods and Results. In 65 HCM patients, HRV was analysed from 24-h ECG recordings. In 36 out of 65 patients SAE was recorded at the same time. The relations among HF, LP and VT were assessed. HF was depressed in patients with VT, but positive-LP indexes (fQRS>120, LAS40>40, RMS40<20) did not correlate with the presence of VT. Patients with severely depressed HF and positive-LP indexes, had near-miss cardiac sudden death. By contrast, in patients with severely depressed HF and normal fQRS duration, VT did not occur. Patients with mildly depressed HF and fQRS>120ms, had mild correlation with VT. But patients with nor-mal HF and fQRS>120ms did not correlate with VT. These findings suggest that depressed HF with positive-LP index easily developes VT. Conclusion. It is con-cluded that the combination of HRV and SAE seems to be useful as a predictor of VT in patients with HCM.
