Description

Equipment for testing heart functions by electric excitation
The present invention relates to a kind of device that detects cardiac function by electricity irritation, specifically, utilize device of the present invention can detect the electrocardiosignal and the blood pressure waveform of live body simultaneously, the stimulus signal that predetermined structure is arranged to the heart output device by intracardiac electrode according to this testing result again, measure the variation of electrocardio and blood pressure signal under the stimulus signal effect simultaneously, obtain the information of reflection cardiac function with this.
Cardiac sudden death is one of first cause of middle-aged and elderly people death, and among sudden the dead, about 25% people there is no any subjective symptoms in advance.Therefore detecting cardiac function is the scientific research field that medical science and scientific and technological circle extremely pay close attention to the generation that prevents cardiac sudden death all the time.
As everyone knows, heart is the rhythm and pace of moving things is arranged to beat under himself action of electric signals, and normal human heart excitement originates from sinuatrial node, is called sinus rhythm.If ventricle is risen in the heart excitement, then be called ventricular rhythm, this ventricular rhythm is how relevant with sudden death.In electrocardiosignal, examine a roomy lopsided QRS wave group person (QRS interval>0.12 second), be called premature ventricular beat or be called for short PVC(Premature Ventricular Contraction).All have continuous more than three lopsided QRS wave group person be called multiple premature ventricular beat or be called for short ME(Multiple Extrasystoles).Allly there is lopsided QRS wave group person more than continuous ten (QRS interval>0.12 second, heart rate 90-240 time/minute) to be called ventricular tachycardia or is called for short VT(Ventricular Tachycardia).The complete obiteration of QRST wave group replaces wave group in irregular shape in all electrocardiograms, and frequency is that 250~500 times/minute persons are called ventricular fibrillation or are called for short VF(Ventricular Fibrillation).A large amount of research datas prove: (1) cardiac sudden death is by due to the ventricular fibrillation.(2) have the patient that the potential probability of cardiac sudden death takes place, there is ecg instability already in its cardiac muscle.(3) heart generation premature ventricular beat (PVC or ME), ventricular tachycardia (VT) then show and exist ecg instability.In prior art, in order to study ecg instability, set up the notion of ventricular fibrillation threshold, abbreviate VFT(Ventricular Fibrillation Threshold as), it is meant the value of bringing out the minimal stimulation electric current that quivers the chamber that directly measures, with VFT can the quantitatively characterizing animal or human the stability of electrocardio-activity, so it has become a quantitative target of forecast cardiac sudden death probability.
In order to measure VFT, at first to bring out VF by artificial mode, adopting in test at present is electrical stimulation method the most widely.This method be between a given period in heartbeat cycle in (be called heart vulnerable period) to myocardium input current, cause the inharmonic excitement of adjacent cardiac muscle fiber, to causing promptly that to a certain degree the chamber quivers, electrical stimulation method commonly used in the prior art has following several:
(1) square wave pulse stimulus method.With certain amplitude, the single square-wave pulse of certain pulsewidth acts in the ventricular vulnerable period, and stimulus intensity is ascending, with the minimal stimulation current's intensity value that can cause VF as VFT.Because after stimulus intensity being increased progressively at every turn, must scan to seek vulnerable period diastole, and the current value when causing VF at last by individual pulse is often very big, so this measuring process that progressively increases progressively is very consuming time, advantage is to measure the starting point of vulnerable period simultaneously.
(2) sequential R/T stimulus method.This method is done pulse above on two suitably to arrange, each pulse sequentially drops in the vulnerable period of the ventricular premature contraction ripple that certain position behind the normal QRS wave group and previous electric pulse cause just, as VFT, generally use three boost pulses with the current intensity of last stimulation.This method is more easily brought out VF, but still needs scanning to seek vulnerable period, so the mensuration process is still more time-consuming.
(3) series impulse stimulus method.It is to utilize several electric pulse strings (being generally continuous 8~14) to tens to stimulate.Bring out VF owing to long bursts can drop in vulnerable period regularly, need not scan vulnerable period, and last fibrillating current is also less.So the advantage of this method is a fast measuring.
(4) square wave stimulus method and alternating current stimulus method continuously continuously.It is with continuous square wave or alternating current cardiac stimulus randomly, do not need the time-delay mechanism behind the ECG R wave, but this method is long to the cardiac stimulation time, and damage is big, now seldom uses.
Multifunctional heart program stimulation instrument in the prior art (as U.S. Medtronics S325 type, Japan's three flourish device 3F51 type, Chinese FD-A types surveyed) is the common tool of Clinical Electrophysiologic Study of Idiopathic.It can carry out non-invasive to the atrium by esophagus electrode and transfers and to fight, and also can utilize vena caval catheter electrode to transfer in the chambers of the heart and fight, measure to comprise sinuatrial node, and atrioventricular node, wish-pumping system and abnormal conduction pathways be in interior multiple electrophysiological function and parameter.This technology is referred to as electrophysiological stimulation or physiology electricity irritation (EPS-PES) technology.
In prior art, generally acknowledge can the quantitative description ecg stability index be ventricular fibrillation threshold (VFT), promptly in the process of electricity irritation heart, can bring out the minimal stimulation current value that quivers the chamber.Yet the method for measuring VFT in the prior art has very big danger, is used for zoopery more.Disclose a kind of device that VFT measures that carries out in animal experiment in No. 85201706 Chinese utility model patents that are entitled as " VFT-1 type heart ventricular fibrillation threshold automatic analyzer ", the design people of this patent is the inventor, and its patentee is the applicant.In addition, the measuring method in the prior art is by manual operations, utilizes several to tens instruments to finish whole measuring process, and such method wastes time and energy and is difficult to be used among the clinical practice by the medical worker who does not understand electronics knowledge.Be also pointed out that when utilizing prior art that experimental animal is detected that the physiological status of tested animal can change, and causes the comparability of the data that obtain to be subjected to very big influence in long measuring process.
In prior art, can utilize program stimulation instrument and EPS-PES method to bring out ventricular tachycardia (VT), but this result of bringing out can not be used for representing quantitatively ecg stability.And this method of bringing out can not guarantee that quiver in the chamber of preventing in stimulating course, therefore still can not solve the dangerous problem when clinical practice.In prior art, owing to be subjected to the restriction of method and technological means, the detection of ecg stability is still a unsolved difficult problem.
According to achievement in research of the present invention, the inventor has at first set up following new ideas:
1. ventricular premature contraction threshold value or chamber threshold value PVCT(Premature Ventricular Contraction Threshold early): the minimal stimulation current value that induces the premature ventricular beat ecg wave form.
2. multiple chamber is threshold value MET(Multiple Extrasystoles Threshold early): the minimal stimulation current value that induces multiple ventricular premature contraction ecg wave form.
3. ventricular tachycardia threshold value or chamber speed threshold value VTT(Ventricular Tachycardia Threshold): the minimal stimulation current value that induces the ventricular tachycardia ecg wave form.
According to testing result of the present invention, the inventor at first proposes, and the ventricular fibrillation threshold in prior art (VFT), the chamber is threshold value PVCT early, and multiple chamber threshold value MET morning and chamber speed threshold value VTT also can the quantitative description ecg stabilities.Testing result of the present invention also further shows: above-mentioned each threshold value PVCT, and MET, the actual measured results of VTT and VFT is to increase successively, and no matter at normal myocardium or ischemic myocardium, each threshold value all presents the height cross-correlation.Therefore, measurement result of the present invention proves, measures PVCT by handy and safe ground, MET and VTT can replace VFT extremely dangerous in the prior art and measure, and describe ecg stability quantitatively and reliably with this, simultaneously can be according to the PVCT that measures, MET or VTT extrapolate the VFT of testee.
