| pubmed-article:8239872 | pubmed:abstractText | Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy carries a high risk of sudden death. It is also associated with sustained ventricular tachycardia. A complex ventricular arrhythmia is recorded in 3/4 of cases on Holter monitoring which has a low specificity. The aim of the study was to determine whether signal-averaged electrocardiography could provide a better evaluation of the prognosis of this condition. The results of signal-averaged electrocardiography were compared with those of 24 hour Holter monitoring and of systematic programmed ventricular stimulation in 58 patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. Late ventricular potentials were recorded in 13 of the 14 subjects with inducible and usually spontaneous sustained ventricular tachycardia. The sensitivity of the technique for evaluating the risk of sustained VT was therefore good (93%). Late potentials were also recorded in 9 patients with induced ventricular flutter or fibrillation, these patients being symptomatic (dizzy spells). Late potentials were also demonstrated in 14 of the 35 asymptomatic patients without inducible VT, indicating that this non-invasive investigation had a limited specificity (60%). In addition, during follow-up of the patients, the risk of sudden death was difficult to demonstrate. Late potentials were only found in subjects with inducible sustained VT but no in the other cases. In conclusion, signal-averaged electrocardiography seems to be valuable for evaluating the risk of sustained VT in subjects with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and complex ventricular arrhythmias. The detection of the risk of sudden death is probably impossible by this technique. | lld:pubmed |
