Usefulness of electrophysiologic study to determine the clinical tolerance of arrhythmia recurrences during amiodarone therapy.

Abstract:

:The relation of clinical and electrophysiologic variables to outcome was evaluated in 121 patients treated with amiodarone for sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Electrophysiologic study was performed in all patients a mean of 14 days after beginning amiodarone therapy. Forty-six patients who were given oral amiodarone therapy experienced arrhythmia recurrence. Multivariate analysis was performed using 16 clinical and electrophysiologic variables to determine which factors were associated with 1) arrhythmia recurrence and 2) a poorly tolerated arrhythmia recurrence (that is, cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death) during oral amiodarone therapy. No variable predicted arrhythmia recurrence. Five variables correlated significantly with a poorly tolerated arrhythmia recurrence. Hemodynamic stability of the arrhythmia induced on electrophysiologic testing during amiodarone therapy had the best predictive value (p less than 0.001). Younger age, lower ejection fraction, a poorly tolerated rhythm at clinical presentation and absence of left ventricular aneurysm were also associated with a poorly tolerated arrhythmia recurrence. Only 3 of 57 patients who had a well tolerated arrhythmia induced on electrophysiologic testing during amiodarone therapy had recurrence of a poorly tolerated arrhythmia versus 19 of 47 who had hemodynamically unstable arrhythmias induced during amiodarone therapy (p less than 0.001). Thus, electrophysiologic testing during amiodarone therapy appears useful in identifying patients who are prone to have catastrophic arrhythmia recurrences and could allow for the institution of additional or alternative modes of therapy.
