[Recording of atrial and ventricular signal averaged ECGs in patients with mitral valve prolapse syndrome].
The aim of the study was to assess the time-domain parameters of atrial signal-averaged ECG (ASAECG) and ventricular signal-averaged ECG (SAECG) in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and healthy ones. Fifty patients with MVP (15 men, 35 women, mean age--37.1 +/- 8.9 years) and 50 healthy controls (36 men, 14 women, mean age 38.2 +/- 4.7 years) were studied). The following time-domain parameters of ASAECG were analysed: the root mean square voltage of the terminal 10, 20, 30 ms of filtered P wave (RMS10, 20, 30) and the total duration of filtered P wave (PWD). The atrial late potentials (ALP) were defined as the presence: RMS10 < 4 microV i PWD > 123 ms. As the time-domain parameters of SAECG we analysed: the root mean square voltage of the terminal 40, 50 ms of the filtered QRS (RMS 40, 50), the total filtered QRS duration (t-QRS) and the low-amplitude signal duration < 40 microV in the terminal QRS (LPD). The ventricular late potentials (VLP) were defined as the presence of at least two of the following criteria: t-QRS > 114 ms, RMS 40 < 20 microV i LPD > 38 ms. There was no difference in the time-domain parameters of ASAECG between patients with MVP and controls: RMS 10: 4.5 +/- 1.8 microV vs 4.8 +/- 1.9 microV, RMS 20: 6.3 +/- 2.2 microV vs 6.1 +/- 2.2 microV, RMS 30: 8.3 +/- 2.5 microV vs 7.1 +/- 2.7 microV and PWD 113 +/- 11.7 ms vs 116 +/- 15.2 ms, respectively. Three patients with MVP (6%) and 5 controls (10%) revealed ALP. THE time-domain parameters of SAECG did not differ in patients with MVP and controls: RMS 40: 40.2 +/- 29.1, microV vs 35.5 +/- 18.2 microV, RMS 50: 68.2 +/- 40.1 microV vs 64.4 +/- 33.6 microV and t-QRS-101.4 +/- 10.7 ms vs 101.8 +/- 10.9 ms i LPD--28.7 +/- 10.0 ms vs 28.3 +/- 10.0 ms, respectively. VLP were found in 7 patients with MVP (14%) and 5 controls (10%). Our findings suggest that time-domain parameters of ASAECG and SAECG could not differentiate patients with MVP and healthy ones. Moreover, the presence of ALP and VLP in MVP group did not correlate with supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias recorded on ambulatory ECG.
