Objective:
To explore the value of vector angle of Lorenz plots(LPs) and the role of combining B-line slope in improving the diagnostic efficiency of arrhythmia.
Methods:
LPs of 119 cases with ventricular premature contraction (VPC group ) ,97 cases with supraventricular premature contraction(SPC group) ,52 cases with type II°I atrioventricular block ( Ⅱ ° Ⅰ group) and 54 cases with type Ⅱ ° Ⅱ atrioventricular / sinoatrial block ( Ⅱ ° Ⅱ group) were retrospectively analyzed.The B-line slope and vector angle were measured,and the differences between groups were compared. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of B-line slope,vector angle and their combination between groups ,and MedCalc software was used for statistical comparison.The consistency of intra-observer and inter-observer measurements of B-line slope and vector angle was evaluated using Intra group correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman plot.
Results:
There were significant differences between VPC group and SPC group,and between Ⅱ ° Ⅰ group and II°II group (P<0. 05) .The area under the curve (AUC) of B-line slope,vector angle,and the combination of the two in distinguishing ventricular and supraventricular premature contraction were 0. 81,0. 84 and 0. 87 respectively,and the AUC in distinguishing type Ⅱ ° Ⅰ and type Ⅱ ° Ⅱ atrioventricular / sinoatrial block were 0. 76,0. 78 and 0. 80 respectively.The ICC of vector angle was better than B-line slope (Intra-observer 0. 99 vs 0. 98,Inter-observer 0. 97 vs 0. 96) .
Conclusion
Vector angle can be used to identify the type of arrhythmia,and has good intraobserver and interobserver consistency.Its combination with B-line slope has the highest accuracy in diagnosing arrhythmia,providing a new reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
