Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established biventricular pacing therapy in heart failure patients with left bundle branch block and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, but not all patients improved clinically as CRT responder. Purpose of the study was to evaluate electrical left atrial conduction delay (LACD) with focused transesophageal electrocardiography in CRT responder and CRT non-responder.
Methods: Twenty heart failure patients (age 66.6±8.2 years; 2 females, 18 males) with New York Heart Association functional class 3.0±0.3 and 174.2±40.2ms QRS duration were analysed using posterior left atrial transesophageal electrocardiography with hemispherical electrodes. Electrical LACD was measured between onset and offset of transesophageal left atrial signal before implantation of CRT devices.
Results: Electrical LACD could be evaluated by bipolar transesophageal left atrial electrocardiography using TO Osypka electrode in all heart failure patients with negative correlation between 54.7±18.1ms LACD and 24.9±6.4% left ventricular ejection fraction (r=-0.65, P=0.002). There were 16 CRT responders with reduction of New York Heart Association functional class from 3.0±0.29 to 2.1±0.2 (r=0.522, P=0.038) during 9.41±10.96 month biventricular pacing and negative correlation between 49.6±14.2ms LACD and 26.0±6.2% left ventricular ejection fraction (r=-0.533, P=0.034). There were 4 CRT non-responders with no reduction of New York Heart Association functional class from 3.0±0.4 to 2.8±0.5 (r=0.816, P=0.184) during with 13.88±16.39 month biventricular pacing and no correlation between 75.25±19.17ms LACD and 20.75±6.4% left ventricular ejection fraction (r=-0.831, P=0.169).
Conclusions: Focused transesophageal left atrial electrocardiography can be utilized to analyse electrical LACD in heart failure patients. LACD correlated negative with left ventricular ejection fraction in CRT responders. LACD may be a useful parameter to evaluate electrical left atrial desynchronization in heart failure patients.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established class I level A biventricular pacing therapy in chronic heart failure patients with left bundle branch block and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, but not all patients improved clinically. Purpose of the study was to evaluate electrical interatrial conduction delay (IACD) to interventricular conduction delay (IVCD) ratio with focused transesophageal left atrial and left ventricular electrocardiography.
Methods: Thirty eight chronic heart failure patients (age 63.4±10.2 years; 3 females, 35 males) with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class 3.0±0.2 and 171.71±36.17ms QRS duration were analysed using posterior left atrial and left ventricular transesophageal electrocardiography with hemispherical electrodes before CRT. Electrical IACD was measured between onset of P-wave in the surface ECG and onset of left atrial signal. Electrical IVCD was measured between onset of QRS complex in the surface ECG and onset of left ventricular signal.
Results: Electrical IACD and IVCD could be evaluated by transesophageal left atrial and left ventricular electrocardiography in all heart failure patients with correlation to 1.18±0.92 IACD-IVCD-ratio (r=-0.57, P<0.001; r=0.66, P<0.001). There were 32 CRT responder with reduction of NYHA class from 3.0±0.22 to 1.97±0.31 (P<0.001) during 16.5±18.9 month CRT with 75.19±33.49ms IACD, 78.91±24.73ms IVCD, 1.04±0.66 IACD-IVCD-ratio and correlation between IACD and IACDIVCD- ratio (r=0.84, P<0.001). There were 6 CRT nonresponder with no reduction of NYHA class from 3.0±0.3 to 2.9±0.5 during 14.3±13.7 month biventricular pacing, 50.0±28.26ms IVCD (P=0.014), 1.92±1.65 IACD-IVCD-ratio (P=0,029) and correlation between 67.0±24.9ms IACD and IACD-IVCD-ratio (r=0.85, P=0.031).
Conclusions: Focused transesophageal left atrial and left ventricular electrocardiography can be utilized to analyse electrical IACD and IVCD in heart failure patients. IACDIVDC- ratio may be a useful parameter to evaluate electrical left cardiac desynchronization in heart failure patients.
Hintergrund: Das elektrische interventrikuläre Delay (IVD) und die Lage der linksventrikulären (LV) Elektrode zum Ort der spätesten LV Erregung sind bei Patienten (P) mit Herzinsuffizienz (HF), reduzierter LV Funktion und breiter QRS Dauer (QRSD) von Bedeutung für den Erfolg der kardialen Resynchronisationstherapie (CRT). Die LV Elektrokardiographie ermöglicht eine Abschätzung des elektrischen IVD. Ziel der Studie besteht in der nicht-invasiven Evaluierung des elektrischen IVD bei Patienten (P) mit Vorhofflimmern (AFib) mit und ohne CRT mit biventrikulärer (BV) Stimulation.
Methoden: Bei 49 HF P mit AFib (Alter 63,9 ± 10,8 Jahre; 43 Männer und 6 Frauen) mit New York Heart Association (NYHA) Klasse 2,9 ± 0,4, LV Ejektionsfraktion 26,03 ± 7,99 % und QRS-Dauer (QRSD) 143,69 ± 35,62 ms wurde das elektrische IVD als Intervall zwischen Beginn des QRS-Komplexes im Oberflächen EKG und Beginn des LV Signals im transösophagealen LV EKG bei 31 HF P mit AFib und bei 18 HF P mit AFib und CRT präoperativ bestimmt. Das fokussierte bipolare LV EKG wurde mittels Osypka TO Sonde mit halbkugelförmigen Elektroden in Höhe des maximalen LV Signals registriert.
Ergebnisse: Bei 31 HF P mit AFib betrugen QRSD 135,48 ± 38,78 ms, IVD 49,55 ± 26,38 ms, QRSD-IVD-Verhältnis 3,12 ± 1,11 und das IVD korrelierte mit der QRSD (r=0,75, P<0,001) und dem QRSD-IVD-Verhältnis (r=-0,67, P<0,001) (Fig.). Bei 18 HF P mit AFib und CRT Defibrillator betrugen QRSD 157,83 ± 24,38 ms, IVD 61,94 ± 26,88 ms, QRSD-IVD-Verhältnis 3,12 ± 1,89 und das IVD korrelierte mit der QRSD (r=0,47, P=0,049) und dem QRSD-IVD-Verhältnis (r=-0,73, P<0,001). Bei 72,2 % CRT Responder (R) (n=13) betrugen QRSD 158,15 ± 22,4 ms, IVD 64,23 ± 24,62 ms, QRSD-IVD-Verhältnis 2,82 ± 1,32 und das IVD korrelierte mit der QRSD (r=0,57, P=0,043) und dem QRSD-IVD-Verhältnis (r=-0,76, P=0,0024). Bei 27,8 % CRT Non-Responder (NR) (n=5) betrugen QRSD 157 ± 31,94 ms, IVD 56 ± 34,52 ms, QRSD-IVD-Verhältnis 3,88 ± 2,98 und das IVD korrelierte nicht mit der QRSD (r=0,33, P=0,591) und dem QRSD-IVD-Verhältnis (r=-0,732, P=0,159). Die CRT R verbesserten sich in der NYHA Klasse von 3 ± 0,2 auf 2,2 ± 0,3 (P<0,001) während 15,3 ± 13,1 Monaten BV Stimulation. Bei 15 CRT NR kam es zu keiner Verbesserung der NYHA Klasse von 3 auf 3,3 ± 0,97 (P=0,529) während 18,8 ± 20,7 Monaten BV Stimulation.
Schlussfolgerungen: Das transösophageale LV EKG ermöglicht bei HF-P mit AFib die nichtinvasive Messung des elektrischen IVD präoperativ vor CRT. IVD und QRSD-IVD-Verhältnis sind möglicherweise einfach anwendbare Parameter zur Vorhersage von CRT R und CRT NR bei P mit AFib.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with biventricular (BV) pacing is an established therapy in approximately two-thirds of symptomatic heart failure (HF) patients (P) with left bundle branch block (LBBB). The aim of this study was to evaluate left atrial (LA) conduction delay (LACD) and left ventricular (LV) conduction delay (LVCD) using pre-implantational transesophageal electrocardiography (ECG) in sinus rhythm (SR) CRT responder (R) and non-responder (NR).
Methods: SR HF P (n=52, age 63.6±10.4 years; 6 females, 46 males) with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 3.0±0.2, 24.4±7.1 % LV ejection fraction and 171.2±37.6 ms QRS duration (QRSD) were measured by bipolar filtered transesophageal LA and LV ECG recording with hemispherical electrodes (HE) TO catheter (Osypka AG, Rheinfelden, Germany). LACD was measured between onset of P-wave in the surface ECG and onset of LA deflection in the LA ECG. LVCD was measured between onset of QRS in the surface ECG and onset of LV deflection in the LV ECG.
Results: There were 78.8 % SR CRT R (n=41) with 171.2±36.9 ms QRSD, 73.3±25.7 ms LACD, 80.0±24.0 ms LVCD and 2.3±0.5 QRSD-LVCD-ratio. SR CRT R QRSD correlated with LACD (r=0.688, P<0.001) and LVCD (r=0.699, P<0.001). There were 21.2 % SR CRT NR (n=11) with 153.4±22.4 ms QRSD (P=0.133), 69.8±24.8 ms LACD (n=6, P=0.767), 54.2±31.0 ms LVCD (P<0.0046) and 3.9±2.5 QRSD-LVCD-ratio (P<0.001). SR CRT NR QRSD not corre-lated with IACD (r=-0.218, P=0.678) and IVCD (r=0.042, P=0.903). During a 22.8±21.3 month CRT follow-up, the CRT R NYHA class improved from 3.1±0.3 to 1.9±0.3 (P<0.001). In CRT NR, NYHA class not improved (2.9±0.4 to 2.9±0.2, P=1) during 11.2±9.8 months BV pacing.
Conclusions: Transesophageal LA and LV ECG with HE can be utilized to analyse LACD and LVCD in HF P. Pre-implantational LVCD and QRSD-LVCD-ratio may be additional useful parameters to improve P selection for SR CRT.
Capture threshold (CT) for transesophageal left atrial (LA) pacing (TLAP) and transesophageal left ventricular (LV) pacing (TLVP) with conventional cylindrical electrodes (CE) are higher than TLAP feeling threshold (FT). Purpose of the study was to evaluate focused TLAP CT and FT for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) initiation and focused TLVP CT for cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) simulation.
Methods: SVT initiation in patients (P) with palpitations (n=49, age 47 ± 17 years) was analysed during spontaneous rhythm and during focused bipolar TLAP with atrial constant current stimulus output, distal CE and three or seven 6 mm hemispherical electrodes (HE) (TO, Osypka AG, Rheinfelden, Germany). CRT simulation in heart failure P (n=75, age 62 ± 11 years) was evaluated by focused bipolar TLAP and/or TLVP with ventricular constant voltage stimulus output and different pacing mode.
Results: Focused electrical pacing field between CE and HE (n=28) allowed low threshold TLAP with 8.0 ± 2.6 mA CT at 9.9 ms stimulus duration (SD) which was lower than 9.2 ± 4.5 mA FT at 9.9 ms SD. Focused electrical pacing field between HE and HE (n=21) allowed low threshold TLAP with 8.1 ± 2.2 mA CT at 9.9 ms SD which was lower than 9.8 ± 5.0 mA FT at 9.9 ms SD. SVT initiation by programmed AAI TLAP was possible in 23 P and not possible in 26 P. CRT simulation was evaluated with TLAP and TLVP with VAT, D00 and V00 pacing mode and 95.5 ± 10.9 V TLVP CT at 4.0 ms SD.
Conclusions: Programmed focused AAI TLAP allowed initiation of SVT with very low CT and high FT and focused electrical pacing field between CE-HE and HE-HE.CRT simulation with focused TLAP and/or TLVP with VAT, D00 and V00 pacing mode may be a useful technique to detect responders to CRT.
Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) with biventricular pacing (BV) is an established therapy for heart failure (HF) patients with interventricular conduction delay (IVCD). The aim of the study was to evaluate transesophageal IVCD and left ventricular (LV) pacing with directed electrical pacing field (EPF) in HF patients.
Methods: HF patients were analysed with bipolar transesophageal LV electrocardiogram recording and LV pacing with constant voltage stimulus output, 4 ms stimulus duration, distal cylindrical electrode (CE) and seven 6 mm hemispherical electrodes (HE) with 15 mm electrode distance (TO, Dr. Osypka, Rheinfelden, Germany).
Results: LV electrocardiogram recording with HE-HE and CE-HE evaluated a mean IVCD of 79.9 ± 36.7 ms. Directed EPF with CE-HE and HE-HE allowed LV VAT (n=12) and LV D00 pacing (n=5) with a mean effective capture output of 97.35 ± 6.64 V. In 15 responders with IVCD of 87 ± 33 ms arterial pulse pressure (PP) increased from 65 ± 24 mmHg to 79 ± 27 mmHg (p < 0.001). EPF was simulated with finite element method.
Conclusions: Transesophageal LV electrocardiography and directed EPF pacing with CE and HE allowed the evaluation of IVCD and PP to select patients for BV pacing.
