Abstract
Supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmia are established causes of syncope. We investigated the mean blood flow velocities (V-mean)of the middle cerebral arteries (MCA) during routine cardiac electrophysiologic studies in patients with supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmias in order to evaluate the changes in cerebral hemodynamics associated with pre-syncopal and syncopal states. Thirtytwo patients with a history of supraventricular (n = 14) or ventricular (n = 18)tachyarrhythmias were investigated in the nonsedated, post-absorptivestare in supine position. V-mean was assessed in bath MCAs by means of transcranial Doppler under resting conditions, during atrial and ventricular pacing at constant rates (n = 28) and during induction of tachyarrhythmia (n = 4). Mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) and heart rate were also recorded. Seven patients suffered pre-syncope at a heart rate of 187 +/- 45 bpm (mean +/- SD) with an average drop of 44% in the V-mean MCA, and statistically insignificant changes in MABP. Five patients suffered syncope during tachyarrhythmia (mean heart rate 283 +/- 42 bpm) with a reduction of 69% in the V-mean MCA. MABP could be assessed in two of those patients and showed a drop of 75 and 43 mmHg, respectively. During tachyarrhythemia pre-syncope and syncope are associated with an average reduction in V-mean MCA by 44% and 69%, respectively. The decrease in MCA blood flow velocity is a more important predictive factor for the development of pre-syncope and syncope than the MABP.
