Significance of PQ interval in acquisition of coronary multidetector row computed tomography.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Since image quality obtained in the mid-diastolic [or slow filling (SF)] phase is generally superior to end-systolic image in coronary multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT), low heart rate (HR) comprises the most important factor for acquisition of high-quality images. However, despite HR <70 and optimum breath-hold, sometimes high quality images cannot be obtained in SF. We assessed the significance of PQ interval in acquisition of coronary MDCT. METHODS AND RESULTS:Of 541 consecutive patients who underwent coronary MDCT, 7 patients with incomplete breath-hold, 62 HR ≥70, and 70 arrhythmias were excluded. The remaining 402 patients (M: 222, 66±11 years), including 38 with first-degree atrioventricular block (1° AVB, PQ >200 ms) were evaluated. RR and PQ were measured on electrocardiogram and systolic and SF phase with 4-chamber cine cardiac computed tomography. SF significantly (p<0.0001) correlated with RR (SF=-471+0.720RR, r=0.887) in all subjects. The SF of without 1° AVB (292±97 ms) was significantly (p<0.0147) longer than that of with 1° AVB (251±121 ms), although RR was not significantly different between the two groups. The SF/RR of without 1° AVB (27.2±6.1%) was also significantly (p<0.0001) higher than that of with 1° AVB (22.7±8.0%). The coefficient of correlation between (RR-PQ) and SF [r=0.915, p<0.0001, SF=-362+0.742(RR-PQ)] was significantly (p<0.034) higher than that of correlation between RR and SF in all subjects. The SF of rank A image quality was significantly longer than that of rank B (p<0.0001) or rank C (p=0.0042). In critical HR (60-69 bpm), the optimum phase was ES in 7/139 patients without 1° AVB, and SF in 3/13 patients with 1° AVB (chi(2), p<0.0416). CONCLUSION:Since SF depends on (RR-PQ), if PQ is long in critical HR, it might be difficult to reconstruct high quality images in the SF phase.
