BACKGROUND: Myocardial electrical heterogeneity is critical for normal cardiac electromechanical function, but abnormal or excessive electrical heterogeneity is proarrhythmic. The spatial ventricular gradient (SVG), a vectorcardiographic measure of electrical heterogeneity, has been associated with arrhythmic events during long-term follow-up, but its relationship with short-term inducibility of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) is unclear.
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to determine associations between SVG and inducible VAs during electrophysiology study.
METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted of adults without prior sustained VA, cardiac arrest, or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator who underwent ventricular stimulation for evaluation of syncope and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia or for risk stratification before primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation. The 12-lead electrocardiograms were converted into vectorcardiograms, and SVG magnitude (SVGmag) and direction (azimuth and elevation) were calculated. Odds of inducible VA were regressed by logistic models.
RESULTS: Of 143 patients (median age, 69 years; 80% male; median left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], 47%; 52% myocardial infarction), 34 (23.8%) had inducible VAs. Inducible patients had lower median LVEF (38% vs 50%; P < .0001), smaller SVGmag (29.5 vs 39.4 mV·ms; P = .0099), and smaller cosine SVG azimuth (cosSVGaz; 0.64 vs 0.89; P = .0007). When LVEF, SVGmag, and cosSVGaz were dichotomized at their medians, there was a 39-fold increase in adjusted odds (P = .002) between patients with all low LVEF, SVGmag, and cosSVGaz (65% inducible) compared with patients with all high LVEF, SVGmag, and cosSVGaz (4% [n = 1] inducible). After multivariable adjustment, SVGmag, cosSVGaz, and sex but not LVEF or other characteristics remained associated with inducible VAs.
CONCLUSION: Assessment of electrical heterogeneity by SVG, which reflects abnormal electrophysiologic substrate, adds to LVEF and identifies patients at high and low risk of inducible VA at electrophysiology study.
