Abstract
Background
Lorenz plot (LP) analysis enhances the accuracy of arrhythmia diagnosis and serves as an attractive diagnostic tool for patients with arrhythmias. We explored the utility of the LP in the classification of various types of neonatal atrial tachycardia and evaluated the treatment effects and prognosis.
Methods
Ninety-six newborns with atrial tachycardia had their dynamic electrocardiograms and clinical data collected between January 2018 and June 2023. They were divided into different atrial tachycardia groups based on the morphological characteristics of the LP. The clinical features of the patients in each group were also analyzed.
Results
Neonates were divided into multifocal (30%, 31.25%), parasystole (19%, 19.79%), and atrial premature beat-induced atrial tachycardia (47%, 48.96%) groups. It was demonstrated that the prevalence of cardiac structural abnormalities, viral infections, myocardial injury, and heart failure was significantly increased in the multifocal atrial tachycardia group.
Conclusions
The analysis of distinct LP patterns allowed for the identification and classification of neonatal atrial tachycardia, which could improve the diagnostic efficiency of neonatal atrial tachycardia and assist clinical physicians in making better management strategies based on the type of atrial tachycardia.
期刊介绍:
The ANNALS OF NONINVASIVE ELECTROCARDIOLOGY (A.N.E) is an online only journal that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients.
ANE is the first journal in an evolving subspecialty that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients. The publication includes topics related to 12-lead, exercise and high-resolution electrocardiography, arrhythmias, ischemia, repolarization phenomena, heart rate variability, circadian rhythms, bioengineering technology, signal-averaged ECGs, T-wave alternans and automatic external defibrillation.
ANE publishes peer-reviewed articles of interest to clinicians and researchers in the field of noninvasive electrocardiology. Original research, clinical studies, state-of-the-art reviews, case reports, technical notes, and letters to the editors will be published to meet future demands in this field.
