Characterization of QT interval adaptation to RR interval changes and its use as a risk-stratifier of arrhythmic mortality in amiodarone-treated survivors of acute myocardial infarction

IEEE Transactions on Bio-medical Engineering

Abstract

A new method is proposed to evaluate the dynamics of QT interval adaptation in response to heart rate (HR) changes. The method considers weighted averages of RR intervals (RR) preceding each cardiac beat to express RR interval history accounting for the influence on repolarization duration. A global optimization algorithm is used to determine the weight distribution leading to the lowest regression residual when curve fitting the [QT, RR1 data using a patient-specific regression model. From the optimum weight distribution, a memory lag L90 is estimated, expressing the delay in the QT adaptation to HR changes. On average, RR intervals of the past 150 beats (approximately 2.5 min) are required to model the QT response accurately. From a clinical point of view, the interval of the initial tens of seconds to one minute seems to be most important in the majority of cases. A measure of the optimum regression residual (r(opt)) has been calculated, discriminating between post-myocardial infarction patients at high and low risk of arrhythmic death while on treatment with amiodarone. A similar discrimination has been achieved with a variable expressing the character of QT lag behind the RR interval dynamics.

Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Understanding the mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic agents is essential in developing new medications as treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is currently limited by the reduced availability of safe and effective drugs. Discover the latest research on Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanism of Action here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
