| Objective:To explore the clinical effect of radiofrequency catheter ablation on tachycardiomyopathy.Methods:34
cases of patients with tachycardiomyopathy who were treated by radiofrequency catheter ablation in our hospital from January 2012to
December 2013 were selected. The ECG, X-ray and echocardiography were used to detect the heart rate (HR), cardiothoracic ratio, left
ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
before and after treatment. The patients' quality of life were evaluated and compared by the SF-36 questionnaire before and after
treatment.Results:All the patients treated by radiofrequency catheter ablation therapy restored sinus rhythm, recurrence was observed in
only one case, the recurrent rate was 3.03%, the clinical symptoms of dyspnea, palpitations were all apparently eased. At 6 months after
treatment, the HR, cardiothoracic ratio, LVEDD, LVESD, and LVEF of patients were all significantly improved compared with those
before treatment (P<0.05). At 1 week after treatment, the scores of PF, RP, BP, GH, VT, SF, RE and MH were all obviously increased
compared with those before treatment (P<0.05).Conclusion:Radiofrequency catheter ablation was effective in the treatment of
tachycardiomyopathy, which could significantly improve the patients’quality of life, and improve the heart function. |
