Electrocardiographic Z-axis QRS-T voltage-time-integral in patients with typical right bundle branch block - Correlation with echocardiographic right ventricular size and function
JOURNAL OF ELECTROCARDIOLOGY(2024)
摘要
Background Right bundle branch block (RBBB) can be benign or associated with right ventricular (RV) functional and structural abnormalities. Our aim was to evaluate QRS-T voltage-time-integral (VTI) compared to QRS duration and lead V1 R' as markers for RV abnormalities.Methods We included adults with an ECG demonstrating RBBB and echocardiogram obtained within 3 months of each other, between 2010 and 2020. VTIQRS and VTIQRST were obtained for 12 standard ECG leads, reconstructed vectorcardiographic X, Y, Z leads and root-mean-squared (3D) ECG. Age, sex and BSA-adjusted linear regressions were used to assess associations of QRS duration, amplitudes, VTIs and lead V1 R' duration/VTI with echocardiographic tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), RV tissue Doppler imaging S ', basal and mid diameter, and systolic pressure (RVSP).Results Among 782 patients (33% women, age 71 +/- 14 years) with RBBB, R' duration in lead V1 was modestly associated with RV S ', RV diameters and RVSP (all p <= 0.03). QRS duration was more strongly associated with RV diameters (both p < 0.0001). Amplitude(QRS-Z) was modestly correlated with all 5 RV echocardiographic variables (all p <= 0.02). VTIR'-V1 was more strongly associated with TAPSE, RV S ' and RVSP (all p <= 0.0003). VTIQRS-Z and VTIQRST-Z were among the strongest correlates of the 5 RV variables (all p < 0.0001). VTIQRST-Z.root BSA cutoff of >= 62 mu Vsm had sensitivity 62.7% and specificity 65.7% for predicting >= 3 of 5 abnormal RV variables (AUC 0.66; men 0.71, women 0.60).Conclusion In patients with RBBB, VTIQRST-Z is a stronger predictor of RV dysfunction and adverse remodeling than QRS duration and lead V1 R'.
