Abstract

Temporal signal averaging of the surface QRS (V1 + V3 + V5) was performed in 16 patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia and in 16 normal subjects. The differences between ARVD patients and normals were large for the filtered QRS duration (FQRSd) (146.2 +/- 18.9 ms vs. 91.8 +/- 4.1 ms, P less than 0.000001), the late potential duration (LPd) (83.5 +/- 23.3 ms vs. 23.6 +/- 4.6 ms, P less than 0.00001), the LPd/FQRSd ratio (53.9 +/- 10.1% vs. 25.8 +/- 5.1%, P less than 0.00001), the filtered QRS amplitude (234.0 +/- 61.1 microV vs. 429 +/- 94.2 microV, P less than 0.001), and the root mean square voltage of the signals in the terminal 40 and 50 ms of the FQRS (RMS40 and RMS50) (18.4 +/- 10.0 microV vs. 118.4 +/- 49.8 microV, P less than 0.0005 and 27.9 +/- 19.2 microV vs. 217.0 +/- 66.3 microV, P less than 0.000002). RMS50 less than 40 microV discriminated best between ARVD and normals (81% sensitivity and 100% specificity). The right-sided predominance of the abnormalities in ARVD was demonstrated by the significantly longer FQRSd and LPd, and the higher ratio LPd/FQRSd in right than in left precordial leads. The arrhythmia susceptibility did not seem to influence the presence of or properties of LP in the ARVD g...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is a congenital cardiomyopathy that is characterized by infiltration of adipose and fibrous tissue into the right ventricle wall and loss of myocardial cells. Primary injuries usually are at the free wall of the right ventricular and right atria resulting in ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias. Discover the latest research on arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 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.
