Variation of P-QRS relation during atrioventricular node reentry tachycardia.

OBJECTIVES: The main objective of this study was to characterize the phenomenon of variation in the P-QRS relation during atrioventricular node reentry tachycardia. BACKGROUND: Variation of P-QRS relation during tachycardia has been observed occasionally in atrioventricular node reentry tachycardia. However, the incidence, the characteristics and the mechanisms of this phenomenon have not been investigated previously. METHODS: Retrospective analysis was performed in 311 consecutive patients with slow-fast form and 108 patients with atypical or multiple form of atrioventricular node reentry tachycardia to examine whether variation of P-QRS relation with changes in AH, HA and AH/HA (A = atria; H = His bundle) ratio occurred during tachycardia. RESULTS: A total of 28 patients, 8 with slow-fast and 20 with atypical or multiple tachycardias, were found to manifest this phenomenon. There were 6 males and 22 females, with an average age of 38+/-16 years. In 10 patients, this phenomenon occurred transiently following electrical induction of the tachycardia. In 15 patients, changes in AH, HA and AH/HA ratio were associated with the occurrence of Wenckebach or 2:1 block proximal to the His bundle (H) recording site without interruption of the tachycardia. In nine patients, three with nonsustained tachycardia and six after administration of adenosine triphosphate, this phenomenon was observed at the termination of the tachycardia. This phenomenon was usually accompanied by a mild lengthening of the tachycardia cycle length. CONCLUSIONS: Variation of P-QRS relation with or without block may occur during atrioventricular node reentry tachycardia, especially in atypical or multiple-form tachycardias. It was postulated that decremental conduction in the distal common pathway, which exists between the distal link of the reentry circuit and the H, is primarily responsible for this phenomenon.

Determinants of tachycardia recurrences after radiofrequency ablation of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia.

Clinical and electrophysiologic parameters were analyzed to define the factors potentially related to tachycardia recurrences in 79 patients undergoing successful radiofrequency ablation of idiopathic right or left ventricular tachycardia. It was found that the endocardial activation time at the successful ablation site was the only independent predictor of tachycardia recurrences.

Multiplane transesophageal echocardiography in diagnosis of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery: a case report.

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery in adults is difficult to identify reliably by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). We describe a 32-year-old woman with this coronary anomaly mimicking a coronary artery fistula on conventional TTE study. This anomaly was suggested by multiplane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and subsequently confirmed by coronary angiography. Multiplane TEE thus may serve as a first-line diagnostic tool for detecting anomalous origin of coronary arteries.

Anti-G(D2) antibody treatment of minimal residual stage 4 neuroblastoma diagnosed at more than 1 year of age.

PURPOSE: To eradicate minimal residual disease with anti-G(D2) monoclonal antibody 3F8 in stage 4 neuroblastoma (NB) diagnosed at more than 1 year of age. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty-four patients were treated with 3F8 at the end of chemotherapy. Most had either bone marrow (n=31) or distant bony metastases (n=29). Thirteen patients were treated at second or subsequent remission (group I) and 12 patients in this group had a history of progressive/persistent disease after bone marrow transplantation (BMT); 21 patients were treated in first remission following N6 chemotherapy (group II). RESULTS: Before 3F8 treatment, 23 patients were in complete remission CR, eight in very good partial remission (VGPR), one in partial remission (PR), and two had microscopic foci in marrow. Twenty-five had evidence of NB by at least one measurement of occult/minimal tumor (iodine 131[(131)I]-3F8 imaging, marrow immunocytology, or marrow reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR]). Acute self-limited toxicities of 3F8 treatment were severe pain, fever, urticaria, and reversible decreases in blood counts and serum complement levels. There was evidence of response by immunocytology (six of nine), by GAGE RT-PCR (seven of 12), and by (131)I-3F8 scans (six of six). Fourteen patients are alive and 13 (age 1.8 to 7.4 years at diagnosis) are progression-free (40 to 130 months from the initiation of 3F8 treatment) without further systemic therapy, none with late neurologic complications. A transient anti-mouse response or the completion of four 3F8 cycles was associated with significantly better survival. CONCLUSION: Despite high-risk nature of stage 4 NB, long-term remission without autologous (A)BMT can be achieved with 3F8 treatment. Its side effects were short-lived and manageable. The potential benefits of 3F8 in consolidating remission warrant further investigations.

Adenosine-sensitive ventricular tachycardia from the anterobasal left ventricle.

OBJECTIVES: This study demonstrates that exercise-provocable tachycardia resembling right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia may originate from the anterobasal left ventricle. BACKGROUND: Reentry is the operative mechanism of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia, with a QRS complex of right bundle branch block and superior axis that is responsive to verapamil but not adenosine. Whether some mechanism other than reentry is operative in some idiopathic left ventricular tachycardias is unclear. METHODS: In 4 of 53 consecutive patients with idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia, the tachycardia was sensitive to adenosine. These four patients were women 63, 61, 61 and 31 years old and were the subjects of the present study. RESULTS: In all four patients, spontaneous tachycardia was related to exercise or emotional stress. The tachycardia displayed atypical left (one patient) or right (three patients) bundle branch block with an inferior axis and marked variation in cycle length. An intravenous bolus of adenosine triphosphate (10 to 20 mg) terminated tachycardia in all four patients. Tachycardia was terminated or prevented in three patients given intravenous or oral verapamil. Atrial or ventricular incremental or extrastimulus testing induced tachycardia in all four patients (three with, one without isoproterenol infusion). Electrically induced tachycardia also demonstrated marked variation in cycle length, which ranged from 230 to 390 ms. Entrainment was not demonstrable with overdrive pacing from multiple sites. Endocardial mapping during tachycardia revealed that the earliest activations were registered 25, 40, 35 and 50 ms before onset of the QRS complex, respectively, from the anterior aspect of the left ventricle just below the mitral annulus, adjacent to the left ventricular outflow tract. High frequency Purkinje spikes were not recorded at this site. Radiofrequency current delivered to this site successfully ablated the tachycardia in three of the four patients. CONCLUSIONS: Exercise-provocable, catecholamine-mediated, verapamil-responsive, adenosine-sensitive ventricular tachycardia may arise from the anterobasal left ventricle adjacent to the outflow tract.

Rhenium-188 hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate: a new generator-produced radiotherapeutic drug of potential value for the treatment of bone metastases.

The search for an ideal radioisotope for systemic radiotherapy continues. As a generator-produced radioisotope emitting both beta and gamma rays and having a short physical half-life of 16.9 h, rhenium-188 is a very good potential candidate for systemic radiotherapy. In this study, we labeled hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate (HEDP) with 188Re and analyzed the biodistribution and bone uptake following intravenous injection in rats to assess its potential for clinical use. The rats were injected with approximately 14.8 MBq (0.4 mCi) 188Re-HEDP in a volume of 0.1 ml intravenously and then sacrificed at 1 h, 24 h, or 48 h (four rats at each time). Samples (about 0.1 g) of lung, liver, kidney, spleen, testis, muscle, stool, and bone (thoracic vertebra) were taken and weighed carefully. In addition, a 1-ml sample of blood was drawn from the heart and 1 ml of urine was taken from the urinary bladder immediately after killing. Tissue concentrations were calculated and expressed as percent injected dose per gram or per milliliter (% ID/g or ml). Bone lesions were created in the right tibial bone in three rabbits to calculate the lesion to normal uptake ratio (L/N ratio). The biodistribution data showed that the radioactivity in the bone tissue was as high as 1.877% ID/g at 1 h and that it climbed to 2.017% ID/g at 4 h. The activity level in the kidney was highest at 1 h but declined rapidly throughout the study. The radioactivities in the lung, liver, muscle, spleen, testis, blood, and stool were all lower than 0.3% ID/g at 1 h and also declined rapidly. The biological half-life in bone was the longest (60.86 h). In contrast, the biological half-lives in muscle and blood were short (2.99 h and 6.21 h respectively). The concentrations of radioactivity in muscle, spleen, testis, and stool were quite low throughout the study. Most of the radiotracer was excreted by the urinary system. The L/N ratio was 4.23+/-0.21 in rabbits injected with 188Re-HEDP and 4.25+/-0.23 in those injected with technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate. In conclusion, we would suggest that 188Re-HEDP is a very good potential candidate for the treatment of bone metastases because of the following characteristics: (1) it is generator produced; (2) it has a short half-life; (3) it emits gamma rays suitable for imaging; (4) there is highly selective uptake in the skeletal system and bone lesions; and (5) it has a low non-target uptake and rapid clearance in nonosseous tissue.

Successful radiofrequency ablation of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia at a site away from the tachycardia exit.

OBJECTIVES: This study sought to assess the possibility of ablating verapamil-responsive idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia at a site distant from the tachycardia exit and thus to define the tachycardia circuit. BACKGROUND: The nature of the reentry circuit in idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia is unclear. If the circuit is of considerable size, then it should be possible to ablate the tachycardia at a site distant from the exit site. METHODS: Electrophysiologic studies and radiofrequency ablation were performed in 27 consecutive patients with verapamil-responsive idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia. In all 27 patients, the tachycardia exit site was defined as the site where the earliest Purkinje potential was recorded > or = 25 ms before the onset of the QRS complex during the tachycardia and where the pace map QRS complex resembled that during the tachycardia. A potential ablation site other than the exit site was then sought around the midseptum, proximal to the exit site. At such sites the tachycardia could be terminated transiently by pressure applied to the catheter tip, without induction of ventricular ectopic beats. RESULTS: The potential ablation site, other than the tachycardia exit site, was identified in seven male patients (mean [+/-SD] age 31 +/- 12 years, range 13 to 52). Application of the radiofrequency current at this site resulted in termination of the tachycardia within 1 to 5 s (mean 2.9 +/- 1.6), and successful ablation of the tachycardia was achieved in all seven patients (success rate 100%, 95% exact confidence interval 0.5898 to 1). The mean distance between the ablation site and the tachycardia exit site was 3.1 +/- 0.7 cm (range 2.0 to 4.0). A presystolic Purkinje spike was recorded 14 +/- 5 ms (range 8 to 20) before the onset of the QRS complex during the tachycardia. During the follow-up period of 24 +/- 11 months (range 12 to 39), there was no recurrence of tachycardia in these seven patients. CONCLUSIONS: Successful ablation of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia can be achieved at sites away from the tachycardia exit site in some patients. This finding suggests that the reentry circuit is likely to be of considerable size, encompassing the middle, inferior and lower aspects of the left interventricular septum.

Atypical atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia with atrioventricular block mimicking atrial tachycardia: electrophysiologic properties and radiofrequency ablation therapy.

INTRODUCTION: Fast-intermediate form AV nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) sometimes may mimic atrial tachycardia or atrial flutter and render the diagnosis difficult when the tachycardia rate is fast and AV block occurs during tachycardia. METHODS AND RESULTS: A 45-year-old woman with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia was referred to this institution. Initially, the tachycardia was thought to be an atrial tachycardia because of: (1) a short cycle length of the tachycardia with 2:1 and Wenckebach AV block; (2) a difference in the atrial activation sequence during tachycardia and during ventricular pacing; and (3) failure of burst ventricular pacing to affect the atrial rate and the atrial activation sequence during tachycardia. An accurate diagnosis of fast-intermediate form AVNRT was subsequently made based on the finding that the tachycardia was induced following delivery of a third ventricular extrastimulus, which showed a sequence of V-A-H and a change on atrial activation sequence of the induced beat. Successful radiofrequency ablation was achieved only after accurate diagnosis of the tachycardia was made. CONCLUSION: Fast-intermediate form AVNRT sometimes may masquerade as atrial tachycardia. Accurate diagnosis is mandatory for successful ablation therapy.

Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency.

Two infants, one male and one female, with elevated serum ammonia levels, were shown, based on urine organic acid analysis and DNA studies, to have ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency. OTC deficiency is one of the most common urea cycle disorders. Hyperammonemia occurred at 3 days of age in the male infant, and at approximately 7 days of age in the female infant. Administration of sodium benzoate and sodium phenylacetate lowered the serum ammonia level effectively in both cases. Other modalities, including peritoneal dialysis and protein restriction, were also important in the control of the serum ammonia level. The mother of the male infant was shown to be a carrier of the OTC gene mutation by allopurinol loading test. The mutation site of the OTC gene for the female infant was identified, but her mother did not have the mutation. OTC deficiency, an incompletely dominant X-linked disorder, is a severe disease even for females and prompt treatment and precise genetic counseling are mandatory.

Safety and immunogenicity of a conjugated Haemophilus influenzae type B polysaccharide-Neisseria meningitidis outer membrane protein vaccine.

This study was performed to determine the immunogenicity and safety of a conjugate Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine (PedvaxHIB:Merck Sharp & Dohme Inc, West Point, PA, USA) in Taiwanese children. There were two groups in this study. Group A included 56 infants at 2 months of age, who received an initial dose of Hib conjugate vaccine at age 2 months and 4 months. Another booster dose was given between 12 and 15 months of age. Group B included 58 children, aged 11 to 14 months, who were vaccinated at the time of enrollment and 2 months after the first vaccination. The results showed that this Hib conjugate vaccine was highly immunogenic with 100% and 86% of vaccinees in group A developing anti-Hib polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP) antibody titers above 0.15 microgram/mL and 1 microgram/mL, respectively, after two vaccinations. A slightly better response rate was observed in group B, with 100% and 97% of vaccinees developing antibody titers above 0.15 microgram/mL and 1 microgram/ml, respectively, after two vaccinations. A significant booster effect was seen in group A; the proportion of subjects with antibody titers above 1 microgram/mL increased from 38% to 95%, and the geometric mean titer increased from 0.68 microgram/mL to 11.92 micrograms/mL. Adverse reactions were uncommon. Mild reactions consisted of low-grade fever and local discomfort. We conclude that the Hib conjugate vaccine is highly immunogenic and safe when given to Taiwanese children as young as 2 months of age.

Radiofrequency ablation for supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia in young patients.

Radiofrequency ablation therapy was conducted in 86 consecutive children and young patients with a mean age of 14 +/- 3 years (range = 3-18). Fifty-two patients had Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, one had re-entry tachycardia incorporating a nodoventricular fiber, 22 had atrioventricular node re-entry tachycardia, two had atrial tachycardia and nine had idiopathic ventricular tachycardia. Radiofrequency ablation was successful in 50 of the 52 patients (96%) with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and the one with nodoventricular fiber. Radiofrequency modification of the atrioventricular node using the inferior approach was successful in eliminating atrioventricular node re-entry tachycardia in 20 of the 22 patients (91%). Radiofrequency ablation in the two patients with atrial tachycardia was unsuccessful. Of the nine patients with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia, eight from the left ventricle and one from the right ventricular outflow tract, eight were successfully ablated (88%). Follow-up over a period ranging from 1 to 46 months (21 +/- 13) revealed a recurrence of tachycardia in seven patients; a late electrophysiological study in 38 patients revealed the induction of tachycardia in 11 patients (seven with accessory pathway-mediated tachycardia, three with atrioventricular node re-entry tachycardia and one with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia). All 11 patients were successfully ablated by a second trial. In conclusion, radiofrequency ablation therapy is effective and safe in pediatric patients with supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia and should be considered as the therapy of choice in this group of patients.

Left ventricular fibromuscular band is not a specific substrate for idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia.

BACKGROUND: A fibromuscular band has been detected in patients with idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia, and this band has been suggested to be the anatomic substrate for the arrhythmia. Whether the fibromuscular band is a specific substrate for the tachycardia was systematically evaluated in a large group of consecutive patients with and without idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia. METHODS AND RESULTS: Conventional transthoracic two-dimensional echocardiography and multiplane transesophageal echocardiography were performed in 18 patients with idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia that was responsive to calcium blockers (group 1, tachycardia patients) and 40 patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (group 2, control patients). There were 17 men and 1 woman, with a mean age of 29 +/- 11 years, in group 1 patients, and 21 men and 19 women, with a mean age of 42 +/- 12 years, in group 2 patients. The QRS morphology during tachycardia in group 1 patients displayed a pattern of right bundle-branch block with superior axis in 15 patients, indeterminate axis in 2 patients, and inferior axis in 1 patient. Radiofrequency ablation successfully eliminated the tachycardia in all 18 patients; the successful ablation site was located at the inferior apical septum in 11 patients, at the midseptum in 6 patients, and at the anterior lateral wall in 1 patient. Transthoracic echocardiography detected the fibromuscular band in 11 of the 18 patients, whereas multiplane transesophageal echocardiography detected the band in 17 of 18 patients. The fibromuscular band extended from the interventricular septum to the apex of the left ventricle. In group 2 patients, transthoracic echocardiography detected the fibromuscular band in 22 and multiplane transesophageal echocardiography detected the band in 35 of the 40 patients. The presence of a fibromuscular band in these two groups of patients was not statistically different. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of a left ventricular fibromuscular band is not a specific anatomic substrate for idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia.

Catheter-induced atrioventricular nodal block during radiofrequency ablation.

This study examined the incidence and significance of catheter-induced atrioventricular nodal block (AVNB) during a radiofrequency ablation procedure that uses stiff large-tip steerable ablation catheters. AVNB was noted in 10 (1.6%) of 613 consecutive patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation therapy for atrioventricular nodal (AVN) reentrant tachycardia (592 patients) or atrioventricular reentry tachycardia incorporating a midseptal accessory pathway (21 patients). Of these 10 patients, 9 underwent AVN modification for AVN reentrant tachycardia and 1 for ablation of a midseptal accessory pathway. One patient had two episodes of AVNB during two sessions undertaken because of recurrence of tachycardia. No patient had a preexisting conduction defect before the study. In all 10 patients, AVNB was transient, and it lasted for a mean of 9.1 +/- 19 minutes. It occurred during positioning of the ablation catheter in the junctional area before (8 patients) or after (2 patients) the start of radiofrequency current applications. Complete AVNB was noted on six occasions, second-degree AVNB on four occasions, and first-degree AVNB on one occasion. All blocks were associated with narrow QRS ventricular beats and with a site of block proximal to the His bundle. The mean ventricular heart rate during AVNB was 60 +/- 23 beats/min. Two patients had transient asystole, with one having loss of consciousness. No patient required special treatment for heart block. One-to-one conduction resumed after repositioning of the catheters, and the subsequent ablation procedure was successfully completed in 8 of the 10 patients. During a follow-up of 20 +/- 12 months, none of the patients had severe dizziness or syncope, and none required implantation of a permanent pacemaker. In conclusion, transient AVNB due to mechanical injury occurs during positioning of a stiff large-tip steerable ablation catheter in the junctional area. Delivery of radiofrequency current to the site that provokes catheter-induced AVNB should be avoided.

Radiofrequency ablation therapy of the posteroseptal accessory pathway.

Among 652 patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome who underwent radiofrequency ablation in this laboratory, 139 (21%) were found to have a total of 146 posteroseptal accessory pathways. Ablation was conducted by the regular transvenous or transaortic approach; ablation from cardiac venous structures was used only if regular approaches were unsuccessful. Of the 146 posteroseptal accessory pathways, 94 were successfully ablated from the left posteroseptal region and 45 from the right posteroseptal region. In 3, successful ablation of the accessory pathway required delivery of the current to the proximal coronary sinus, and in 1 it required delivery of the current to both the atrial and ventricular aspects of the tricuspid valve at the right posteroseptum. Thus, the accessory pathway was successfully ablated in 143 (98%) of 146 instances or in 136 (98%) patients. In 3 patients, ablation was unsuccessful despite delivery of current to the left posteroseptum, the right posteroseptum, the proximal coronary sinus, and the middle cardiac vein. Seventy-seven (57%) patients with an initial success, including 9 patients with resumed preexcitation or recurrence of paipitations, underwent a follow-up electro-physiologic study 90 +/- 72 days after ablation. Of these 9 patients, the initial successful ablation site was the right posteroseptum in 7 and the left posteroseptum in 2. The accessory pathways were ablated successfully by subsequent trials in 8 patients, whereas in 1 the accessory pathway was severely damaged. Thus radiofrequency ablation of posteroseptal accessory pathways can be achieved by the regular transvenous or transaortic approach; delivery of current to the coronary sinus or middle cardiac vein is unnecessary in most patients.

A comparative study of 99Tcm-d,l-HMPAO and 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO as leukocyte-labelling agents.

An attempt was made to use 99Tcm-d,l-cyclobutylpropylene amine oxime (99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO) to label leukocytes. The radiochemical purity of 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO, labelling efficiency of leukocytes, cell viability of labelled leukocytes and stability of 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO-labelled leukocytes were calculated. In comparison with the commercial cell-labelling agent 99Tcm-d,l-hexamethylpropylene amine oxime (99Tcm-d,l-HMPAO), (1) the radiochemical purity of 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO was higher than that of 99Tcm-d,l-HMPAO immediately after and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 h after 99Tcm labelling; (2) the labelling efficiency of 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO-labelled leukocytes was lower than that of 99Tcm-d,l-HMPAO; (3) the viability of labelled white blood cells was high for both agents; and (4) the stability of 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO-labelled leukocytes was better than that of 99Tcm-d,l-HMPAO after 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 h. In conclusion, although the labelling efficiency of 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO is lower, it is more stable than 99Tcm-d,l-HMPAO and provides greater stability of 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO-labelled leukocytes. Therefore, 99Tcm-d,l-CBPAO has the potential to replace 99Tcm-d,l-HMPAO as a commercial leukocyte-labelling agent.

Retrograde atrio-His bundle dissociation as a sign indicative of retrograde accessory pathway conduction.

Electrophysiologic study and radiofrequency ablation therapy were performed in a 36-year-old male with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and Ebstein's anomaly. The study disclosed the presence of a posteroseptal accessory pathway and dual atrioventricular (AV) nodal pathways. Retrograde atrio-His bundle (A-H) dissociation was noted during rapid ventricular pacing, in which the atria were activated by retrograde impulse from the accessory pathway with a fixed ventriculo-atrial (VA) interval while the retrograde His bundle potential was visible during the diastolic isoelectric period due to the occurrence of Wenckebach periodicity within the His-Purkinje system. This phenomenon is a useful sign for rapid recognition of the accessory pathway conduction.
