Abstract:

Objective To observe the relationship between uric acid (UA), Bazett-corrected QT interval (QTCB) and left ventricular myocardial mass index (LVMI) in different burden of frequent premature ventricular contractions. Methods A total of 67 patients with frequent PVCs (PVC beats more than 360 t/h or 8 640 t/d) were enrolled, and in all subjects dynamic-electrocardiogram and laboratory examination were performed. The patients were divided into three groups by the burden of PVCs: the lower burden group (<10%), the medium burden group (10%~20%), and the higher burden group (>20%). LVMI, laboratory indexes, and QTCB were compared among the 3 groups. Results Compared with the lower burden group, QTCB, LVMI, UA in the higher burden group were significantly increased (P<0.01), the equation of liner regression is Y=0.029X1+0.045X2-12.558, F=10.037, P<0.001 (Y=burden of PV,X1=UA, X2=QTCB),the standardized coefficients is UA=0.357, QTCB=0.295.Conclusion With contraction burden increased, UA, QTCB level and the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy increased, in the contraction burden, UA effects was greater than that of QTCB.

Key words: contraction burden, left ventricular myocardial mass index, uric acid, correct QT interval by Bazett
