简介
A prospective assessment of several clinical variables, left ventricular function indexes, Holter recording characteristics and signal-averaged electrocardiogram (ECG) for their value in predicting the inducibility of sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias was carried out in a consecutive series of 105 patients with nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (VT). The patients were divided into 3 groups based on the results of programmed electrical stimulation: group 1, 22 patients with induced sustained monomorphic VT; group 2, 14 patients with induced ventricular fibrillation (VF) and group 3, 69 patients with no induced sustained VT/VF. Left ventricular ejection fraction < 0.40, history of syncope/presyncope and abnormal signal-averaged ECG were significantly more common in group 1 than in group 3. No significant difference was found between groups 2 and 3. The sensitivity, specificity and predictive accuracy of the …
