高血圧性心不全の心電図所見の特徴を明らかにし,心不全に至る左室心筋重量係数(LVM/m2)を推定するため以下の検討を行った.高血圧性心不全で入院し,安定期に精査を行った男性17例(A群:69歳以下;n=6,B群:70歳以上;n=11)と,心不全のない高血圧例の対照(C群:69歳以下:n=8)の合計25例において,心電図所見(Romhilt-Estesポイントスコアシステム:R-E,Sokolow-Lyon電位:S-L,Cornell電位)と心エコーから求めたLVM/m2,心臓カテーテル検査の所見とを比較検討した.心電図では全体の26%(Cornell電位)〜65%(R-E),心エコーでは88%が左室肥大と判定された.この集団の中で以下のことが結論された.1)胸部誘導の電位差よりも,QRS時間(r=0.59),R-Eのスコア(r=0.61)がLVM/m2と良好な相関を示した.2)高血圧性心肥大ではLVM/m2≧180gになると心不全の危険性が高くなる.
To define the characteristic features of electrocardio-graphy in hypertensives with heart failure, we comparedelectrocardiographic findings using the following criter-ia; Romhilt-Estes point score system (R-E), Sokolow-Lyon voltage criteria (S-L), Cornell voltage criteria(Cornell), with echocardiographically determined leftventricular mass index (LVM/m2) and cardiac catheter-ization measurements in 17 hypertensive men with apast history of heart failure (group A;≦69y: n=6,group B;≧70y :n=11) and hypertensive men with-out heart failure (group C;≦69y:n=8).
The incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy was26% (Cornell) to 65% (R-E) by electrocardiographyand 88% by echocardiography among all subjects.Although LVM/m2 were similar in both group A andB, the R-E score and S-L voltage were significantlygreater for group A than for B. S-L voltages were quitesimilar for both group B and C.
Electrocardiographic validation of these criteria forheart failure revealed superior sensitivity in R-E volt-age, ST-T change, QRS duration≧0.09sec, R-E score,and S-L voltage, and superior specificity in left axisdeviation, QRS duration≧0.09sec, VAT≧0.05sec, andCornell voltage. LVM/m2 correlated well with QRSduration (r=0.59) and R-E score (r=0.61), but did not correlated well with S-L voltage.
Setting the cut-off point of LVM/m2 for failed heartfrom non-failed heart seemed appropriate at 180g,which achieved a sensitivity of 70%, specificity of 88%,positive predictive value of 92%, negative predictivevalue of 58%, and overall accuracy of 76% in hyperten-sive left ventricular hypertrophy.
It is concluded that 1) LVM/m2 had little correlationwith the voltages of the precordial leads, but had asignificant correlations with QRS duration (r=0.59) andR-E score (r=0.61). 2) The critical value of LVM/m2for hypertensive heart failure was 180g.
