心房扑动(AF)是一种较为常见的室上性快速心律失常,临床上药物治疗效果欠佳时可用电击复律。自1967年Haft等首先报道经静脉右心房起搏终止AF成功后,国内外报道日渐增多,尤其是经食道心房调搏(TEAP)为无创伤性方法,更易为临床医师和患者所接受。我们于1992年2月至1993年11月对14例AF患者应用TEAP治疗,效果颇满意。 Atrial flutter (AF) is a more common type of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, clinically effective when the drug treatment is available cardioversion. Since the first report by Haft et al in 1967, after termination of successful right atrial pacing by AF, there are increasing reports at home and abroad. Especially, transesophageal atrial pacing (TEAP) is a non-invasive method that is more acceptable to clinicians and patients. In February 1992 to November 1993, we applied TEAP to 14 patients with AF and the results were satisfactory.
