摘要
背景:早期解剖研究提示肺静脉(pv)连接处可能有类似括约肌的活动。本研究的目的是评估正常和阵发性/持续性心房颤动受试者的这种活动。方法:回顾性分析45例患者(15例正常对照,15例阵发性心房颤动(PAR-AF), 15例持续性心房颤动(PER-AF))的心脏计算机断层扫描(CCT)。所有受试者在CCT扫描时均处于窦性心律。建立了三维解剖模型,使我们能够识别PV口并测量其在心脏周期内的面积动态变化。结果:三组上侧pv面积变化均显著高于下侧pv (control p = 0.007, PAR-AF p = 0.0003, PER-AF p = 0.04)。此外,与对照组相比,所有pv (LSPV (p < 0.001), RSPV (p < 0.001), RIPV (p = 0.037)和LIPV (p < 0.001))的PAR-AF和PER-AF的这些变异显著减少。结论:在阵发性和持续性房颤患者中,这种约括肌样活动(在上pv中最为突出)逐渐受损。
A Sphincter-like Function of Pulmonary Vein Ostia in Normal and Atrial Fibrillation Subjects.
Background: Early anatomical study suggested that the pulmonary vein (PVs) junction may have putative sphincter-like activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate this activity in normal and paroxysmal/persistent atrial fibrillation subjects.
Methods: The Cardiac Computed Tomography (CCT) scans of 45 subjects [15 normal controls, 15 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAR-AF), and 15 with persistent AF (PER-AF)] were retrospectively analyzed. All subjects were in sinus rhythm during the CCT scan. A 3D anatomical model was developed, enabling us to identify the PV ostia and to measure their area dynamic changes during the cardiac cycle.
Results: The area changes in the superior PVs within the three groups were significantly higher compared to the inferior (control p = 0.007, PAR-AF p = 0.0003, PER-AF p = 0.04). Moreover, these variations were significantly reduced in PAR-AF and PER-AF compared to the control in all PVs (LSPV (p < 0.001), RSPV (p < 0.001), RIPV (p = 0.037), and LIPV (p < 0.001)).
Conclusions: This sphincter-like activity, most prominent in superior PVs, is progressively impaired in patients with paroxysmal and persistent AF.
