    Modified moving average methodology applied to the treadmill stress testing analysis of microvolt T-wave alternans
    (2022) PEREIRA FILHO, Horacio Gomes; SAMESIMA, Nelson; MADALOSO, Bruna Affonso; TOBIAS, Nancy Maria Martins de Oliveira; FACIN, Mirella; PASTORE, Carlos Alberto
    Sudden cardiac death is impactful. There has been an increase in the search for tools capable of identifying individuals who are most susceptible, such as the microvolt T-wave alternans. This study aims to analyze the applicability of the modified moving average methodology to obtain the microvolt T-wave alternans using treadmill specific protocols. Medical records of patients during the period August 2006-December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Five hundred and thirty nine exams were then included, divided into groups according to the protocol and updating factor used: Ellestad factor 8 or 32, Naughton factor 8 or 32. The topics for analysis were the alternans behavior, noise and confirmation according to the groups of leads analyzed (frontal, transversal and orthogonal planes). The greater microvolt T-wave alternans was found during the stress phase in most of the tests. Group Naughton 8 presented lower noise in this phase for the transverse and orthogonal planes (p=0.0082 and p<0.0001), with greater confirmation of frontal and orthogonal planes in comparison with group Ellestad 8 (p=0.0002 and 0.0008). The results indicate the viability of simultaneous performance of the stress test and measurement of the T wave alternans with Naughton protocol with 1/8 updating factor.

    Clinical applicability and diagnostic performance of electrocardiographic criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy diagnosis in older adults
    (2021) TAVARES, Caio de Assis Moura; SAMESIMA, Nelson; HAJJAR, Ludhmila Abrahao; GODOY, Lucas C.; PADRAO, Eduardo Messias Hirano; LAZAR NETO, Felippe; FACIN, Mirella; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; FARKOUH, Michael E.; PASTORE, Carlos Alberto
    Recently, a new ECG criterion, the Peguero-Lo Presti (PLP), improved overall accuracy in the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH)-compared to traditional ECG criteria, but with few patients with advanced age. We analyzed patients with older age and examined which ECG criteria would have better overall performance. A total of 592 patients were included (83.1% with hypertension, mean age of 77.5 years) and the PLP criterion was compared against Cornell voltage (CV), Sokolow-Lyon voltage (SL) and Romhilt-Estes criteria (cutoffs of 4 and 5 points, RE4 and RE5, respectively) using LVH defined by the echocardiogram as the gold standard. The PLP had higher AUC than the CV, RE and SL (respectively, 0.70 vs 0.66 vs 0.64 vs 0.67), increased sensitivity compared with the SL, CV and RE5 (respectively, 51.9% [95% CI 45.4-58.3%] vs 28.2% [95% CI 22.6-34.4%], p<0.0001; vs 35.3% [95% CI 29.2-41.7%], p<0.0001; vs 44.4% [95% CI 38.0-50.9%], p=0.042), highest F1 score (58.3%) and net benefit for most of the 20-60% threshold range in the decision curve analysis. Overall, despite the best diagnostic performance in older patients, the PLP criterion cannot rule out LVH consistently but can potentially be used to guide clinical decision for echocardiogram ordering in low-resource settings.
