[Arrhythmia in unstable angina pectoris].

W Schützenberger, F Leisch, H Bergmann

    Wiener Medizinische Wochenschrift (1946)
    |April 30, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Arrhythmias during angina are linked to ST-segment elevation and coronary spasm. However, these rhythm disturbances do not worsen left ventricular function in angina patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiac Electrophysiology

    Context:

    • Angina pectoris is a common manifestation of coronary artery disease.
    • Electrocardiogram (ECG) findings, including arrhythmias and ST-segment changes, provide crucial diagnostic information.
    • Understanding the relationship between arrhythmias, coronary artery disease severity, and left ventricular function is vital for patient management.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the relationship between arrhythmias and ST-segment changes during angina pectoris.
    • To evaluate the prevalence of arrhythmias in relation to coronary artery disease severity.
    • To assess the impact of arrhythmias on left ventricular function in patients experiencing spontaneous angina.

    Summary:

    • This study analyzed 79 ECGs from 52 patients with angina pectoris.
    • Arrhythmias were observed in 22% of ECGs, with ventricular premature contractions (VPCs) being most common.
    • Arrhythmias were significantly more frequent during ST-segment elevation (47%) and with coronary spasm (75% more often than organic stenoses).
    • No significant difference in left ventricular function was found between patients with and without arrhythmias during angina.

    Impact:

    • Findings highlight the association between specific ECG patterns (ST-segment elevation, coronary spasm) and arrhythmias during angina.
    • The study suggests that arrhythmias during angina, while common in certain scenarios, may not indicate a worse left ventricular function.
    • This research contributes to a better understanding of the electrophysiological consequences of myocardial ischemia and informs clinical assessment of angina patients.
