Renal Sympathetic Denervation Modulates Cardiac Repolarization in a Post Myocardial Infarction Pig Model
Circulation(2015)
摘要
Introduction: Changes in cardiac repolarization parameters such as QT interval and QT dispersion have been implicated in cardiac arrhythmogenesis following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). These parameters are susceptible to sympathetic modulation. We therefore hypothesized that renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) may produce potential anti-arrhythmic actions through its effects on cardiac repolarization. Methods: Fifteen pigs randomized to AMI u0026 RDN (6 pigs), AMI u0026 sham RDN (6 pigs) and sham MI u0026 sham RDN (3 pigs) underwent percutaneous occlusion of the mid to distal LAD to achieve AMI. 2 weeks after infarction, the St. Jude EnligHTN® basket catheter was used to perform RDN bilaterally. Cardiac repolarization parameters were measured at 3 time points over the course of the 3 week study: baseline (immediately before MI), midpoint (2 weeks post MI; at time of RDN) and end (1 week post RDN). ECG data were acquired from limb leads. Results: In a ten beat span, the range in the durations of the QT interval ...
