Objective:To explore the risk factors of the incidence of arrhythmia and the prediction of baseline ventricular late potential in patients with first depression episode.Methods:The cohort study was used to observe the relationship between the baseline status of ventricular late potential, the severity of baseline depression symptoms, the extent of remission of depressive symptoms within the treatment duration and arrhythmia incidence in the 3 years progress. For the assessment of the severity of depression symptoms, 17 version of Hamilton depression scale was used to evaluate the baseline ventricular late potential, and DMS lab3.0 ECG platform late potential analysis system was used to determine the assessment (CardioScan 12 NET version). The first depression patients with positive ventricular late potential were followed up for 3 years. The changes of the severity of ventricular late potential and depression symptoms were investigated, and the correlation with the subsequent course of arrhythmia was investigated.SPSS 20.0 software package was used for statistical distraction, chi square test was used for count data, independent samples t test was used for normal distribution measurement data, Mann-Whitney U test was used for non-normal distribution count data, and logistic regression method was used to calculate relative risk( RR). Results:According to the 3-year follow-up of 400 first-episode depression patients, 22.25% (89/400) had malignant arrhythmia. The incidence of malignant arrhythmia was 39.46% (58/147) in ventricular late potential positive group and 12.25% (31/253) in ventricular late potential negative group, and the difference was statistically significant(χ 2=9.578, P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that positive ventricular late potential at baseline (compared with negative ventricular late potential at baseline, RR=10.78, 95% CI=8.34-13.80), having a family history of arrhythmia (compared with no family history of arrhythmia, RR=5.23, 95% CI=2.41-9.85), had a higher severity of depression at baseline (compared with lower severity of depression at baseline, RR=1.73, 95% CI=1.25-2.85), poor first-time efficacy and more repeated hospitalizations (compared with good first-time efficacy and less hospitalizations, RR=1.11, 95% CI=1.04-1.17), and age of onset< 20 (compared with age of onset≥20, RR=1.07, 95% CI=1.02-1.93) were the risk factors of malignant arrhythmia in patients with first-episode depression(all P<0.05). Conclusion:The incidence of arrhythmia is very high in those patients with baseline positive late ventricular potential. Positive late ventricular potential, family history of arrhythmia, younger onset age and poor therapeutic effect were the relative risk of arrhythmia in the patients with depression.

目的:探讨利培酮治疗精神分裂症时对其心电图的影响,并与氯丙嗪、氯氮平对照研究,以观察利培酮的安全性.方法:将病人随机分为利培酮、氯丙嗪、氯氮平3组,分别于治疗前及治疗高量期(6周±)检查心电图,观察心电图变化.结果:利培酮所致心电图异常发生率最小,3组药物间的心电图异常存在明显的差异,(χ2=59.30,P<0.01).结论:利培酮所致心电图改变明显低于氯丙嗪,更低于氯氮平.虽然3组药物对心电图均有影响,表明利培酮相对安全,对既往有心脏病史、年老体弱者,建议优先选用利培酮.
