초록

배경: 본 연구의 목적은 좌심실 수축기능, 용적, 질량과 QT dispersion간의 관계를 알아보고, 관상동맥 협착이 있는 환자와 없는 환자에서 비교하는 것이다. 대상 및 방법: 174명의 ST분절 및 심근효소 이상소견이 없는 전형적인 안정성 협심증을 호소하는 환자들을 대상으로 하였다. Group I은 심혈관 촬영상 관상동맥 협착이 50%이상(n=101), Group II는 심혈관 촬영상 관상동맥 협착이 50%이하(n=73)인 환자로 나누었다. 심혈관 촬영 전에 좌심실 구출율, 용적, 질량을 심초음파로 측정하였고 QT dispersion측정을 위해 12-lead 심전도를 측정하였다. 결과: QT dispersion은 Group I에서 Group II보다 유의하게 길었다(39.8 ms vs. 33.3 ms; p<0.05). 모든 환자에서 좌심실용적, 질량은 QT dispersion과 통계학적으로 유의한 상관관계가 있었으며, 좌심실 질량은 유일한 독립적 관계요소였다.(p<0.05). 그런데 Group I에서만 보면 초음파상에 나타난 어떤 결과도 QT dispersion과 유의한 상관 관계가 없었으며, Group II에서는 좌심실 용적, 질량은 QT dispersion과 유의한 상관관계가 있었으며, 좌심실 질량은 여전히 독립적 관계 요소였다(p<0.05). 결론: 우리의 연구는 좌심실용적, 질량 등은 안정성 협심증환자에서 QT dispersion과 유의한 상관관계를 나타냈다. 이런 소견들은 저명한 관상동맥 협착이 없는 환자들에서만 나타난다.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of the left ventricular (LV) systolic function, the LV dimension and the LV mass with the QT dispersion in patients with stable angina, and we also wanted to compare this relationship between patients with and without significant coronary stenosis on coronary angiography. Material and Method: 174 patients complained of typical angina and they had no associated ST segment or cardiac enzyme abnormalities. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on the results of coronary angiography: the patients with angiographic coronary stenosis ${\geq}50%$ made up group I (n=101), and the patients with angiographic coronary stenosis <50% made up group II (n=73). An echocardiogram for assessing the LV ejection fraction (EF), the LV dimension and the LV mass and a 12.lead electrocardiogram for assessing the QT dispersion were performed before the coronary angiography. Result: The QT dispersion was significantly greater in group I than that in group II (39.8 ms vs. 33.3 ms; p<0.05). For all the patients, all the parameters of LV dimension and LV mass had statistically positive correlation to the QT dispersion, but the LV mass was the only independently significant parameter that was correlated with the increased QT dispersion (p<0.05). For group I, none of the echocardiographic parameters had significant correlation with the QT dispersion. However, the LV dimension and LV mass had significantly positive correlation with the QT dispersion, and the LV mass was also the only independently significant parameter that was correlated with increased QT dispersion in group II (p<0.05). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated a significantly positive correlation of the QT dispersion to the LV dimension and the LV mass in patients with stable angina. These findings are present only in patients without significant coronary stenosis.
