Abstract
Non-invasive radioablation using stereotactic body radiation therapy with X-ray has been proposed as a rescue treatment for refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). However, there are concerns about the occurrence of late valvular or coronary disease. We treated VT originating from the aortic sinus cusp using the Bragg peak principle of a heavy ion beam, minimizing the dose to the aortic valve and coronary artery and providing an anti-arrhythmic effect and cardiac function recovery due to improved sympathetic nerve heterogeneity. We present a method for targeting sympathetic nerve distribution using 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy.
有人提出,使用 X 射线进行立体定向体放射治疗的非侵入性放射消融术是治疗难治性室性心动过速(VT)的一种救治方法。然而,人们担心会发生晚期瓣膜或冠状动脉疾病。我们利用重离子束的布拉格峰原理治疗了源于主动脉窦尖的室性心动过速,将主动脉瓣和冠状动脉所受剂量降至最低,并通过改善交感神经异质性达到抗心律失常和恢复心功能的效果。我们介绍了一种利用 123I-甲碘代苄基胍闪烁成像瞄准交感神经分布的方法。
期刊介绍:
The ANNALS OF NONINVASIVE ELECTROCARDIOLOGY (A.N.E) is an online only journal that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients.
ANE is the first journal in an evolving subspecialty that incorporates ongoing advances in the clinical application and technology of traditional and new ECG-based techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac patients. The publication includes topics related to 12-lead, exercise and high-resolution electrocardiography, arrhythmias, ischemia, repolarization phenomena, heart rate variability, circadian rhythms, bioengineering technology, signal-averaged ECGs, T-wave alternans and automatic external defibrillation.
ANE publishes peer-reviewed articles of interest to clinicians and researchers in the field of noninvasive electrocardiology. Original research, clinical studies, state-of-the-art reviews, case reports, technical notes, and letters to the editors will be published to meet future demands in this field.
