We aimed to analyse the sources of RT variability by comparing normal subjects and patients after myocardial infarction (MI) with either depressed or preserved left ventricular (LV) function. METHODS: One hundred and nine patients (27 women, 82 men, aged 51 +/- 9 years) were divided into three groups: 24 patients (pts) with an uncomplicated angiographically proven coronary heart disease (CHD-group), 59 post-MI pts with preserved LV function (LVEF > 40%, PMI-N-group) and 26 post-MI pts with depressed LV function (LVEF < 40%, PMI-L-group). An ECG signal of low-noise 512 heartbeats was recorded using a computer-assisted amplifier (16 bit, 2 kHz). The onset and offset of the R-wave and T-wave were determined automatically. The magnitude of R-R and R-T variability was measured as the standard deviation of all intervals (SD-RR and SD-RT, ms, respectively). Their relationship was quantified by the correlation coefficient r(RT/RR). Power spectral density of RR or RT variability was estimated with the FFT (Welch~s averaged periodogram, Hanning window) and frequency relation was quantified using a squared coherence spectrum (SCS). For all spectral and cross-spectral measurements two frequency ranges were considered: high (0.15-0.50 Hz, HF) and low (0.04-0.15 Hz, LF). Spectral power and SCS of RR and RT variability for both ranges (HF(RR), LF(RR), HF(RT), LF(RT), SCS(HF), SCS(LF)), and the ratios LF/HF(RR) and LF/HF(RT) were drawn for comparisons. The central frequency of HF(RR) was considered as the frequency of respiration (f(resp), Hz). RESULTS: In the PMI-L group the SD-RT was significantly greater compared to the remaining groups and accounted for almost 10% of the SDRR. Also, the coefficient r(RT/RR) was weakest in this group. The spectral indices of RR variability were similar in all groups, while the greatest value of the HFRT was observed in the PMI-L group. The SCS(LF) was insignificant in this group, contrary to the CHD and PMI-N groups. Additionally, there were significant negative relationships between f(resp) and spectral indices of RT variability in PMI-patients with depressed LV function. CONCLUSION: A greater beat-to-beat variation in RT interval duration along with increased power of its HF component indicates an important role of respiration in ventricular repolarisation control, while reduced time- and frequency RT-RR relationships seem to relate to an impaired process of ventricular duration adaptation. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=11495 ------>authors2=Lin CC ------>authors3=Chen CM ------>authors4=Yang IF ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c=None ------>authors=Yang TF ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c=None ------>publish_area=None ------>updateTitle=Time and frequency analysis of beat-to-beat R-T interval variability in patients with ischaemic left ventricular dysfunction providing evidence for non-neural control of ventricular repolarisation. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=None ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2005 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=None |
