They have been demonstrated to potentiate the occurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias. METHODS: Two hundred and forty-eight patients were included for investigating the presence of double atrial potentials on the coronary sinus recordings during electrophysiologic study. Group 1 consisted of 136 patients with WPW syndrome and group 2 consisted of 112 patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). Group 1 patients had a higher incidence of induced atrial fibrillation (AF) (27% vs. 15%, P = 0.045) than group 2 patients. In addition, the incidence of double atrial potentials was significantly higher in group 1 than in group 2 patients (14% vs. 2%, P = 0.001). In group 1, 19 patients with double atrial potentials had a significantly higher incidence of left lateral bypass tracts (79% vs. 39%, P = 0.001) and induced AF (47% vs. 22%, P = 0.01) than 117 patients without double atrial potentials. CONCLUSIONS: WPW syndrome, especially with a left lateral bypass tract, had a higher incidence of double atrial potentials and induced AF than AVNRT. WPW patients with double atrial potentials had a higher incidence of induced AF than those without double atrial potentials. These findings may contribute to understanding the mechanism of induced AF in WPW syndrome. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=10712 ------>authors2=Tai CT ------>authors3=Chiang CE ------>authors4=Tsai CF ------>authors5=Chen YJ ------>authors6=Chan P, Kuo YC, Lee SH, Ueng KC, Chen SA. ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Hsieh MH ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Double atrial potentials recorded in the coronary sinus in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome: a possible mechanism of induced atrial fibrillation. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2004 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=None |
