Objective:
To evaluate the clinical significance of the number and manifestation of ventricular arrhythmia in ambulatory electrocardiogram.
Methods:
The ambulatory electrocardiogram of 135 cases with ventricular arrhythmia more than 1,000 times were analysed retrospectively, and the multiple parameters were compared.
Results:
Ventricular arrhythmia in patients with coronary heart disease showed more pleomorphism, bigeminy, ventricular tachycardia and R-ON-T phenomena than patients with non-coronary disease.
Conclusion:
Expression of bigeminy and tachycardia of ventricular arrhythmia can reflect the cardiac ischemia more accurately than the number of simple ventricular premature beats.
