Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relation between slow blood flow phenomenon on coronary arteriogram and findings on dynamic electrocardiogram.
Methods Forty-three patients with chest pain admitted to our hospital underwent coronary arteriography in January 2006-May 2009(CAG),which showed slow blood flow phenomenon.Thirty patients with normal CAG served as controls.Dynamic electrocardiography was performed the day after coronary arteriography.The results were analyzed.
Results Of the 43 patients,26(60.5%) showed depression in ST segment,32(67.4%) showed alterations in T wave,and 21(48.8%) showed frequent ventricular premature or non-sustained ventricular tachycardia.Frequent ventricular premature or non-sustained ventricular tachycardia was more frequent in patients with abnormal CAG than in those with normal CAG(P<0.01).
Conclusion The number of blood vessels involved in coronary slow flow phenomenon is related with frequent ventricular premature or non-sustained ventricular tachycardia.
