assessment of qt and jt intervals in patients with left bundle branch block

چکیده
conclusions right ventricular pacing increases the qt interval without increasing the jt interval. our results confirm that jtc, as an index of repolarization, is independent of ventricular depolarization. therefore, it can be applied for predicting qtc in patients with lbbb. results stimulation from the rva increased the qtc from 456.20 ± 38.63 ms to 530.67 ± 47.73 ms at a cl of 600 (p < 0.0001) and to 502.32 ± 47.26 ms at 700 cl (p < 0.0001). jtc showed no significant changes with stimulation from the rva (102.97 ± 11.35 ms vs. 103.59 ± 10.67 ms, p = 0.24). there was no significant correlation between jtc and qrs complex duration. a significant correlation was seen between qrs and qtc at both cls. the roc curve indicated that sensitivity of 80% and specificity of 67% were obtained with jtc duration of 92.6 ms. background prolongation of the qt interval is considered a risk factor for cardiac adverse events and mortality. left bundle branch block (lbbb) lengthens the qt interval. the corrected qt interval (qtc) is most likely overestimated because its prolongation is caused by increases in depolarization duration and not in repolarization. objectives in this study, we aimed to apply corrected jt interval (jtc) as an appropriate measure of ventricular repolarization for predicting qtc in a formula. patients and methods the study population consisted of 101 patients with sinus rhythm (sr) and narrow qrs complexes (< 120 milliseconds). all patients underwent electrophysiology studies or ablation. a diagnostic catheter was positioned in the right ventricular apex (rva) to induce lbbb at two different cycle lengths (cls; 600 and 700 mv). the intrinsic qrs complex, qt time, and jt time were measured during sr and subsequent rva pacing. the jtc was derived simply by subtracting the qrs duration from the qtc.

Assessment of QT and JT Intervals in Patients With Left Bundle Branch Block
BACKGROUND Prolongation of the QT interval is considered a risk factor for cardiac adverse events and mortality. Left bundle branch block (LBBB) lengthens the QT interval. The corrected QT interval (QTc) is most likely overestimated because its prolongation is caused by increases in depolarization duration and not in repolarization. OBJECTIVES In this study, we aimed to apply corrected JT int...
متن کاملQT interval in right and left bundle-branch block.
The QT interval of the electrocardiogram is prolonged in right and left bundle-branch block. Since the QT interval is not prolonged outside the normal range due to myocardial disease alone, this lengthening of the QT interval is due to the conduction defect and is probably due to delayed depolarization (and thus repolarization) of the heart. There is, however, a significant difference in the QT...
متن کاملLeft Bundle Branch Block
Coronary angiography, cine left ventriculography, and the cardiovascular hemodynamics of 24 patients with left bundle branch block were studied. Seven patients were found to have significant coronary artery disease, always severe. Five had cardiomyopathy and seven had valvular disease. Only those with coronary artery disease or cardiomyopathy had abnormal left ventricular contraction patterns. ...

A RECENT STUDY of the prognosis of patients with left bundle branch block (L.B.B.B.) suggested that life expectancy was extremely short (Smith and Hayes 1965). While in general L.B.B.B. has a sinister reputation, we have been struck by a few individuals who have survived many years with L.B.B.B., and we thought an analysis of some of the material available at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfas...

Tachycardia-Dependent Left Bundle Branch Block Associated with Bradyeardia-Dependent Variable Left Bundle Branch Block
This report describes tachyeardiaand bradycardia-dependent left bundle branch block in a patient who exhibited normal intraventricular conduction with impulses intermediate in timing. During bradyeardia, longer cycles were associated with increasing degrees of incomplete left bundle branch block. These clinical observations support the existence of slow Phase 4 depolarization of latent pacemake...
