Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the predictive value of dynamic electrocardiography (ECG) for myocardial ischemia and arrhythmia in patients with coronary heart disease.Methods:A total of 87 patients with coronary heart disease who received treatment in Wenling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to January 2022 were included in this study. These patients were divided into a conventional ECG group (group A, n = 40) and a dynamic ECG group (group B, n = 47) according to different examination methods. The detection rate of myocardial ischemia in the two groups was determined. The diagnostic efficacy of routine ECG and dynamic ECG for myocardial ischemia was analyzed according to the results of coronary angiography. The detection rate of arrhythmia was determined in each group. Patient satisfaction was compared between the two groups. Results:There was no significant difference in the total detection rate of myocardial ischemia between the two groups ( P = 0.154). The detection rate of asymptomatic myocardial ischemia in group B [25% (25/47)] was significantly higher than that in group A [10% (10/40), χ2 = 5.24, P = 0.020). According to the results of coronary angiography, the detection rates of myocardial ischemia in group A and group B were 68% (27/40) and 87% (41/47), respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of group B in diagnosing myocardial ischemia were 80% (33/41), [67% (4/6), and 74% (35/47), respectively, all of which were significantly higher than 74% (20/27), [46% (6/13), 68% (27/40) in group A ( χ2 = 8.03, 5.89, 5.03, P = 0.003, 0.012, 0.005). The detection rates of premature ventricular contraction in bi-triplet rhythm, frequent paired premature atrial contraction in bi-triplet rhythm, right bundle-branch block, atrioventricular block, supraventricular tachycardia in group B were significantly higher compared with group A ( χ2 = 10.78, P = 0.001). According to the results of coronary angiography, the detection rates of arrhythmia in groups A and B were 65% (26/40) and 79% (37/47), respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of diagnosing arrhythmia in coronary heart disease in group B were 86% (32/37), 40% (4/10), and 81% (38/47), respectively. The sensitivity and accuracy of diagnosing arrhythmia in coronary heart disease in group B were significantly higher than those in group A [58% (15/26), 55% (22/40), χ2 = 7.30, 4.90, P = 0.005, 0.010). Patient satisfaction in group B [87% (41/47)] was significantly higher than that in group A [65% (26/40), χ2 = 6.24, P = 0.044]. Conclusion:Compared with conventional ECG detection, dynamic ECG has substantially higher detection and diagnosis rates of myocardial ischemia and arrhythmia, as well as a higher patient satisfaction rate, in patients with coronary heart disease, in particular in those with asymptomatic myocardial ischemia.
