Can potentially significant polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias initiated by programmed stimulation be distinguished from those that are nonspecific?

Abstract:

:Polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias (PVAs) initiated by programmed electrical stimulation may be a nonspecific response or evidence of ventricular electrical instability. To determine if PVAs initiated in patients with spontaneous sustained ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation differ from those which are clearly a nonspecific response in structurally normal hearts, the initiation, characteristics, and relationship to ventricular repolarization of PVAs greater than five beats in duration were evaluated in 32 patients without structural heart disease and in 36 patients with spontaneous sustained ventricular arrhythmias more than 9 days after myocardial infarction. Patients received one to four extrastimuli during sinus rhythm and right ventricular pacing. In a comparison with patients who completed the same steps (defined by the basic drive cycle length and number of extrastimuli) in the stimulation protocol, there was no difference in the cumulative risk of initiation of a PVA between the patients with and those without heart disease at any step. This risk was 51% vs 38% for patients who received two or fewer extrastimuli at four basic cycle lengths (p = NS). PVAs were initiated by the same mean number of extrastimuli (2.3 +/- 0.5 vs 2.6 +/- 0.9 p NS) with the same degree of prematurity in both groups. Forty-four percent of the PVAs in the myocardial infarction group had a cycle length greater than 250 msec or a coupling interval of the first tachycardia beat to its initiating stimulus greater than 320 msec as opposed to only one (6%) in the group without heart disease (p less than 0.02).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
