Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of enalapril on tachycardia induced acute atrial electrical remodeling in human.Methods 27 patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation were randomly divided into control group (16 patients) and enalapril group (11 patients). After autonomic blockade, atrial effective refractory period (AERP) in multiple sites, AERP rate adapting feature, AERP dispersion (AERPd) and inducibility of atrial fibrillation were measured before and after rapid atrial pacing with maximal atrial capture rate(349?37bpm)in both groups. Results ①In control group, AERP shortened significantly after rapid atrial pacing, but it did not change dramatically in enalapril group; ② Before and after rapid atrial pacing, curve estimation showed that the slope values were 0 062 and 0 018 in control group. In enalapril group the slope values were 0 059 and 0 053 respectively; ③After rapid atrial pacing, the inducibility and duration of atrial fibrillation increased significantly in control group, which did not change dramatically in enalapril group. Conclusion Enalapril can prevent acute atrial electrical remodeling and reduce the inducibility of atrial fibrillation after rapid atrial pacing.
