摘要
Early during ventricular fibrillation, the defibrillation threshold may be low, as ventricular fibrillation most probably arises from a localized area with only a few wavefronts and the effects of global ischemia, ventricular dilatation, and sympathetic discharge have not yet fully developed. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of the timing of shock delivery in humans. During implantation of an ICD in 26 patients (24 men, 60 +/- 11 years, 19 coronary artery disease, NYHA 2.2 +/- 0.4, left ventricular ejection fraction 0.42 +/- 0.16), the defibrillation threshold was determined after approximately 10 and 2 seconds of ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation was induced by T wave shocks. Mean defibrillation threshold was 9.9 +/- 3.6 J after 10.3 +/- 1.0 seconds. Within 2 seconds, 20 of 26 patients could be successfully defibrillated with 8 J. In these patients, the mean defibrillation threshold was 4.0 +/- 2.1 J after 1.4 +/- 0.3 seconds compared to 9.5 +/- 3.1 J after 10.2 +/- 1.1 seconds (P < 0.001). There were no clinical differences between patients who could be successfully defibrillated within 2 seconds and those patients without successful defibrillation within 2 seconds. In the majority of patients, the defibrillation threshold was significantly lower within the first few cycles of ventricular fibrillation than after 10 seconds of ventricular fibrillation. These results should lead to exploration of earlier shock delivery in implantable devices. This could possibly reduce the incidence of syncope in patients with rapid ventricular tachyarrhythmias and ICDs.
