Objective:To determine the prevalence of q wave in avL,prescribe its characteristics,and evaluate the correlation between the q wave in avL and organic heart disease(OHD)verified by gated single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging(SPECT-MPI)and coronary angiography(CAG)or coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA)in the patients with complete left bundle branch block(CLBBB). Methods:A total of 1 882 CLBBB patients were initially involved in the study,and the results of SPECT-MPI,CAG and CCTA were collected. The prevalence,duration and amplitude of q wave as well as the duration and amplitude of QRS complex in avL were measured,on which the correlation between q wave and OHD were analyzed. Results:In this study,157 patients were involved finally,and 122 of which(77.8%)were confirmed with OHD by SPECT-MPI,CAG and CCTA. Septal q waves were present in 56 of the 122 OHD patients(45.9%)[OHD(+)q(+)group]. Specificity and positive predictive value of q wave in avL for OHD were 97.1% and 98.2% respectively. Comparing with the CLBBB patients in OHD(+)q(-)group,the CLBBB patients in OHD(+)q(+)group have larger end diastolic volume(EDV)(P<0.001)and end systolic volume(ESV)(P<0.001),but lower left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)(P<0.001). Scatter chart and correlation analysis showed no significant linear correlations between the duration,amplitude,areas of q wave and the left ventricular ESV,EDV and LVEF verified by SPECT-MPI. Conclusion:Occurrence of q wave in avL in CLBBB patients indicates serious left ventricular disease,but there is no linear correlation between the characteristics of q wave and the severity of left ventricular disease.
