1 QRS Waves of the Spatial Velocity Electrocardiogram in Atrial Septal Defect Hiroyoshi MORI, M.D., Kouichi MIKAWA, M.D., Toshiharu NIKI, M.D., Takashi NAGAO, M.D., Satoru MATSUMO, M.D., Tomoo NII, M.D., Teiichi ODA, M.D.,* and Hideto MASAKI, M.D.** SUMMARY The most characteristic findings of QRS waves of the spatial velocity ECG in atrial septal defect are that the velocity increased markedly after the initiation of the terminal delay. The peak velocity in the terminal delay and the velocities at the beginning portions of the terminal delay showed positive correlations with pulmonary artery and right ventricular pressures. Mean values of the pulmonary artery and the right ventricular pressures were significantly higher in the group with higher peak velocity in the terminal delay than in the group with lower peak velocity in the terminal delay. The durations of the terminal delays showed significant negative correlations with the pulmonary artery and the right ventricular pressures. Using only 2 parameters concerning the terminal delay of QRS waves of the spatial velocity ECG, namely the peak velocity in the terminal delay and the duration of terminal delay, 93% of the normal subjects, 100% of the usual type of the complete right bundle branch block and 95% of atrial septal defect were differentiated each other. Additional Indexing Words: VCG Analog computer analysis Terminal delay of ASD Right ventricular hypertrophy Right bundle branch block NCOMPLETE right bundle branch block, which is the most characteristic electrocardiographic and vectorcardiographic finding in atrial septal defect, is attributed to the hypertrophy of the outflow tract of the right ventricle and is considered to have different clinical significance with the usual type of the complete right bundle branch block. Intraventricular conduction disturbances such as the bundle branch block are usually expressed as slow inscription of QRS loops in vectorcardiography. Such expressions, however, are only approximations, and the velocity of inscription of spatial vector loop can be expressed most exactly by the spatial velocity electrocardiography.

S eptember, 1972 inscription of spatial QRS loop in atrial septal defect by means of the spatial velocity electrocardiogram, comparing with those of the normal subjects and the usual type of the complete right bundle branch block. Correlations with hemodynamic data were also investigated. METHODS a. Materials: Conventional 14 leads electrocardiograms (ECG), spatial vectorcardiogram (VCG) by Frank system, and the spatial velocity ECG were recorded in all 56 cases of secundum type of atrial septal defect (SAD), 20 cases of the complete right bundle branch block and 56 cases of the normal subjects. Atrial septal defect: Mean age of the cases with atrial septal defect was 16.0 }7.1, ranging from 5 to 32 years old. There were 24 males and 32 females. Cardiac catheterizations were performed in 51 cases, and the diagnosis was ascertained in 46 cases by cardiac surgery. Routine examinations, including phonocardiograms and chest X-ray examinations, were performed in all cases. Standard ECG showed incomplete right bundle branch block in all cases. Complete right bundle branch block: 20 cases of the complete right bundle branch block without demonstrable heart disease, such as hypertensive, rheumatic, congenital, or advanced coronary heart diseases, were examined. These cases showed complete right bundle branch block as the sole abnormality. Mean age was 60.5 }15.3, ranging from 28 to 86 years old. There were 13 males and 7 females. Normal subjects: This group consisted of 56 healthy men whose mean age was 24.5 }6.6, ranging from 19 to 40 years old. The criteria of normality were as follows: (1) No history, no complaint and no physical sign of cardiovascular disease, (2) Systolic blood pressure less than 140mm.Hg and diastolic blood pressure less than 90mm.Hg, (3) Normal resting standard ECG. Mean value of QRS interval of this group was 88.6 }8.2msec. The incidences of the various patterns of QRS waves in V4R were as follows: 2 cases of rsr' (3.6%), 10 cases of rsr' (17.6%), 1 case of notching of R wave (1.8%), 14 cases of notching of S waves (25.0%), and 16 cases of slurrs of R or S waves (28.6%). The incidences of the various patterns of QRS waves in V1 were as follows: 1 case of rsr' (1.8%), 1 case of notching of R wave (1.8%), 9 cases of notching of S waves (16.1%), and 16 cases of slurrs of R or S waves (28.6%). b. Recording of ECG: Conventional 14 leads ECG, including V4R and V7, were recorded in all cases by means of 4 channel heat-writing electrocardiograph. c. Recording of VCG: Three planar projections of spatial VCG were photographed on 60mm. X-ray films simultaneously by 3 channel vectorcardiograph using Frank system. Vectorcardiographic loops were interrupted by the saw-toothed waves of 800Hz. d. Spatial velocity EGG: 1) Recordings: Spatial velocity ECG were recorded by means of the spatial velocity electrocardiograph constructed by Mori et al.1),2) (1967). Fig. 1 showed the block diagram of the spatial velocity electrocardiograph. The computations shown in formula (1) were performed automatically by leading each scalar ECG of Frank system to the differentiating, squaring, adding and square root circuits in orders. Spatial velocity ECG were recorded by means of 4 channel heat-writing

4 410 MORI, ET AL. Jap. HeartJ. S eptember, ) Measurements: Fig. 2 is the schematic presentation of the typical pattern of QRS waves of the spatial velocity ECG in atrial septal defect. The peaks and nadirs of QRS waves of the spatial velocity ECG were named as A, B, C, D, E, TD, F, S and S'. A is the initial notch of QRS wave. C and E are the 2 peaks of the main M-shaped complex of QRS wave. S is the peak in the terminal delay. F is the nadir between E and S. TD is the point of the beginning of the terminal delay, and usually appears slightly before F. S' is the second peak following S in the terminal delay. Velocities (amplitudes) and time intervals were measured as shown in Fig. 2. Velocities and time intervals were expressed as capital and small letters respectively. Velocities of these points and peak velocity were measured, and were expressed by mv./sec. Peak-D, E/C, peak/s, and peak/(peak-d) were calculated. Time intervals from the beginning of QRS to the various points were measured as well as QRS interval, and were expressed by msec. QRS interval-d, QRS interval-e, QRS interval-f, QRS interval-td, f-d, (QRS interval-d)/d, QRS interval/(qrs interval-d), QRS interval/(qrs interval-td), and peak interval were also calculated. RESULTS a. Configurations of QRS waves of the spatial velocity ECG in atrial septal defect and their relationships with the hemodynamic data. QRS waves of the spatial velocity ECG in atrial septal defect were classified in 5 groups based on the following criteria as shown in Fig. 3. Group A1: D 1/2 peak value, and S 1/3 peak value (32 cases, 57%) Group A2: D 1/2 peak value, and S<1/3 peak value (10 cases, 18%) Group B1: D>1/2 peak value, and S 1/3 peak value (8 cases, 14%) Group B2: D>1/2 peak value, and S<1/3 peak value (1 case, 2%) Fig. 3.

Mean values and standard deviations of the pulmonary artery and the right ventricular pressures, pressure gradients between right ventricle and the pulmonary artery (systolic and mean), and the areas of atrial septal defect determined during surgery in these 5 groups were shown in the Table I. Statistical comparisons of these mean values in each of 5 groups were also shown. Mean value of the systolic pressure of the right ventricle was significantly higher in A1 than in A2 group (p<0.05). Mean values of the pulmonary artery and right ventricular pressures (both systolic and mean) were slightly higher in B1 than in A1 group, but these differences were not significant. Mean values of the pulmonary artery (mean pressure) and the right ventricle (systolic and mean pressures), and pressure gradient (systolic) were slightly higher in A1 than in C group, but these differences were not statistically significant. Mean value of the pulmonary artery mean pressure was significantly higher in A1 than in A2 group (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in hemodynamic data between A2 and C, and also between B1 and C groups. It was assumed from these results that the grades of the hemodynamic loadings for the right heart were higher in A1 and B1, in which the velocities of S were higher than in the other groups.

Correlations between QRS waves of the spatial velocity ECG and the various hemodynamic parameters. Thirty-three parameters of QRS waves of the spatial velocity ECG described in the section of measurements were measured or calculated. Statistical comparisons of the mean values of the main items of these parameters between the normal group and atrial septal defect were shown in the Table II. These values of QRS waves of the spatial velocity ECG were correlated with the various hemodynamic parameters such as pulmonary artery, right ventri-

These results were summarized in Fig. 2. The velocities of D, Td, F, and S showed significant positive correlations with the mean pressures of the pulmonary artery and the systolic and mean pressures of the right ventricle (D showed the positive correlation only with the mean pulmonary artery pressure). QRS-d time showed negative correlations with the mean pulmonary artery and right ventricular pressures. QRS-e time and (QRS-d)/d ratio showed negative correlations with the mean right ventricular pressure. QRS-f time showed a negative correlation with the mean pulmonary artery pressure. Thus the velocities at the beginning portions of the terminal delay (TD, F) and the peak velocity in the terminal delay (S) showed positive correlations, and the duration of the terminal delay showed negative correlation with the various hemodynamic parameters indicating right ventricular overloadings in atrial septal defect. c.

(S) and the durations of terminal delays (QRS-f, QRS-td) in atrial septal defect, complete right bundle branch block without demonstrable heart disease, and normal subjects. Velocities of S were much higher in atrial septal defect than in the other 2 groups, permitting relatively good separations for atrial septal defect from the other 2 groups. The separations between the normal group and the complete right bundle branch block were very poor by this parameter. Durations of terminal delay (QRS-f, QRS-td) were much longer in the complete right bundle branch block than in the other 2 groups. Normal subjects and complete right bundle branch block were separated perfectly by this parameter, but the distributions of right bundle branch block and atrial septal defect showed some overlappings. Fig. 5 showed scattergram of the normal subjects, atrial septal defect and complete right bundle branch block, plotting the duration of the terminal delay (QRS-td) on the horizontal (X) axis and the velocity of S on the vertical (Y) axis. The velocities of S were less than 30mV./sec. and the durations of terminal delay (QRS-td) were more than 55msec. in all cases of the complete right bundle branch block. Thus the separations of complete right bundle branch block from the other 2 groups were satisfactory, giving the diagnostic
9 Vol.13 No.5 SPATIAL VELOCITY ELECTROCARDIOGRAM 415 positivities of 100%. The separations of atrial septal defect from the normal subjects were obtained in all except 3 of the former and 4 of the latter, using the criteria of the velocity of S of 50mV./sec. or more and the duration of terminal delay of 35msec. or more. Thus the diagnostic positivities of 93%, 100%, and 95% were obtained in normal subjects, in complete right bundle branch block, and in atrial septal defect respectively, using only 2 parameters, namely peak velocity and duration in the terminal delay of QRS waves of the spatial velocity ECG. DISCUSSION Velocities of inscription of vector loops were usually expressed by marking the vectorcardiographic loops with saw-toothed waves of the definite frequencies. Such methods, however, offer to us only approximations for the velocities of inscription of vector loops. The spatial velocity electrocardiography should be used for the precise investigations. Shapiro3) (1952), Halmos et al.4) (1961), Angelakos5) (1962), Langner and Geselowitz6) (1962) reported on the first derivatives of the electrocardiograms. The concept of the spatial velocity ECG was first introduced by Hellerstein and Halmin7) (1960). They obtained the spatial velocity ECG mainly by calculations and drawings, but also showed a record by means of the analog computer. Systematic clinical investigations of the spatial velocity ECG have been investigated by Sano et al.8) (1964) and Mori et al.1) (1967). Mori et al.2),9)-11) (1967) investigated the spatial velocity ECG as a part of studies on the analog computer analysis of the electromotive forces of the heart quantitatively as well as qualitatively, and have been clarifying the clinical usefulness of this new methods. The most characteristic ECG findings in atrial septal defect is incomplete right bundle branch block. This finding is expressed as terminal delay or closed spacing of time markers at the terminal portion of QRS loop. This finding is considered as the expression of the hypertrophy of the outflow tract of the right ventricle. So the terminal delays in atrial septal defect and in the usual type of complete right bundle branch block have somewhat different clinical significance. Diastolic overloadings of the right ventricle are present in atrial septal defect, and also systolic overloadings may be combined in the advanced cases in which the pulmonary hypertension is present. The characteristic findings of QRS waves of the spatial velocity ECG in usual type of complete right bundle branch block were that the grades and the durations of the delay in the later half of QRS waves were much pronounced although the initial half of QRS wave was inscribed normally.
10 416 MORI, ET AL. SJap. Heart J. eptember,1972 Terminal delay (TD) began at 51.4 }8.2msec. (53.9 }8.4msec. for F), and then the velocity increased again markedly (S) in atrial septal defect. The peak velocities in the terminal delay (S) and the velocities at the beginning portions of the terminal delay (TD, F) showed positive correlations with pulmonary artery and right ventricular pressures. Mean values of the pulmonary artery and the right ventricular pressures were higher in the groups in which the velocities of S were larger. These portions of QRS waves of the spatial velocity EGG corresponded to the instantaneous QRS vectors directing right wards anteriorly as determined by the simultaneously recorded 3 scalar ECG, reflecting the right ventricular activations. So it was considered that the increase of the velocity of these portions might be related with the hypertrophy of the right ventricle. Increased spacings of time markers of QRS loops or low amplitudes of QRS waves of the spatial velocity ECG lasting for some extent of time indicated the presence of vectors of similar magnitudes which directed to the similar spatial directions, reflecting the intraventricular conduction disturbances. It was considered that both the intraventricular conduction disturbances and the ventricular hypertrophy were present in atrial septal defect, because of the wide terminal delay and the partial increase of the velocity in the terminal delay. Durations of the terminal delay of QRS waves of the spatial velocity ECG showed significant negative correlations with the pulmonary artery or the right ventricular pressures. The shortening of the duration of the terminal delay reflected the increase of the grades of the overloading of the right ventricle, so it was considered that these findings more related to ventricular hypertrophy than the intraventricular conduction disturbances. It has well been known that the velocity of inscription of QRS loops were slower at the initial and the terminal portions of QRS loop than at the middle portions of the outgoing or the returning limbs of QRS loops in the normal subjects. Durations of these physiological terminal delay, however, are much shorter than those in atrial septal defect and complete right bundle branch block. The velocities of S were less than 30mV./sec., and the durations of the terminal delay (QRS-td) were more than 55msec. in all cases with usual type of complete right bundle branch block, and thus the complete right bundle branch block was easily differentiated from the normal subjects and atrial septal defect. Atrial septal defect and the normal subjects were differentiated in all except 3 cases in the former and 4 cases in the latter, using the criteria that the velocity of S of 50mV./sec. or more and the duration of the terminal delay (QRS-td) of 35msec. or more. Thus 93% of the normal subjects, 95% of atrial septal defect, and 100% of the usual type of complete right bundle branch block were differentiated by 2 parameters concerning the terminal
