Dispersion of monophasic action potential duration: demonstrable in humans after premature ventricular extrastimulation but not in steady state.

Abstract：

:Abnormal dispersion of repolarization may contribute to the arrhythmogenic physiologic substrate of ventricular arrhythmia. Geographic dispersion of monophasic action potential duration was determined in steady state (drive cycle lengths 600 and 430 ms) between widely spaced right ventricular endocardial sites (geographic dispersion) in 10 control patients with right ventricular disease and complicating ventricular tachycardia (n = 9), 6 patients with right and left ventricular disease and complicating ventricular tachycardia and 7 patients with ischemic heart disease and complicating ventricular tachycardia. No significant difference in geographic dispersion could be demonstrated among the groups. Difference of monophasic action potential duration at adjacent right ventricular endocardial sites (adjacent dispersion) was determined after ventricular extrastimulation during construction of simultaneous electrical restitution curves in the same patient groups. Maximal adjacent dispersion over the electrical restitution curve was compared between disease and control groups. There was a significant difference in observations of maximal adjacent dispersion in patients with right ventricular disease and complicating ventricular tachycardia (range 5 to 85 ms, median 22.5; 14 pairs of sites; p less than 0.05) and patients with right and left ventricular disease and complicating ventricular tachycardia (range 5 to 50 ms, median 17.5; 14 pairs of sites; p less than 0.05) compared with control patients (range 5 to 20 ms, median 10; 15 pairs of sites). This difference was not evident when patients with ischemic heart disease and complicating ventricular tachycardia (range 5 to 25 ms, median 12.5; 12 pairs of sites) were compared with control patients. Maximal percent monophasic action potential shortening from steady state was significantly greater (p less than 0.001) in both groups with greater adjacent dispersions, and prolongation of activation time at monophasic action potential recording sites after premature extrastimulation tended to be greater in patients with right or right and left ventricular disease and complicating ventricular tachycardia. It is concluded that in disease, exaggeration of monophasic action potential shortening after premature ventricular extrastimulation may contribute to the electrophysiologic arrhythmogenic substrate.
