Abstract:
Objective: To explore change of heart rate turbulence (HRT) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and its predictive value. Methods: A total of 58 CAD patients were regard as CAD group. The 50 normal persons with negative CAG were regard as normal control group.
All subjects received 24h dynamic ECG, CAG and echocardiography examination. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and HRT indexes were compared between two groups. Results: Compared with normal control group, there was significant rise in turbulence onset [TO, (-1.34±1.09)% vs. (2.32±0.60)%] and significant reduction in turbulence slope [TS, (11.14±2.27) ms/RR vs. (3.44±0.60)ms/RR] in CAD group, P<0.01 both; in CAD group, along with coronary artery lesion aggravated (single-, double-, multi-vessel coronary disease), there was significant rise in TO [(1.35±0.52)% vs. (2.56±0.83)% vs. (3.01±1.62)%] and significant reduction in TS [(6.49±1.79) ms/RR vs. (3.33±1.02) ms/RR vs. (1.66±0.30) ms/RR], the difference was significant in two-two comparison among all groups, P<0.05 or <0.01; compared with CAD without cardiac event group, there was significant rise in TO [(1.68±0.61)% vs. (2.24±0.24)%], and significant reduction in TS [(5.87±1.22) ms/RR vs. (1.65±0.23) ms/RR] and LVEF[(66.18±2.64)% vs. (56.36±3.34)%] in CAD with cardiac event group, P<0.01 all. Conclusion: Weakened HRT phenomenon exists in CAD patients. HRT can be treated as an index evaluating severity of CAD patients’ condition and an effective predicting index for recurrent cardiac events in CAD patients.
