The electrocardiogram analysis of electronic colonoscopy on patients with coronary artery heart disease

Abstract

Objective To investigate the electrocardiogram analysis of electronic colonoscopy on patients with coronary artery heart disease,and to evaluate the safety of colonoscopy on patients with coronary artery heart disease.Methods Sixty patients who underwent colonoscopy from Jun.2012 to Jun.2013 were divided into experimental group (patients with coronary artery heart disease,Heart function class Ⅰ-Ⅲ) and control group (patients without coronary artery heart disease).The changes of electrocardiography during colonoscopy and before performance were compared between two groups through dynamic electrocardiogram.Results Heart rate of the two groups were no statistically significant difference before colonoscopy process (t =0.537,P ＞ 0.05).During the inspection process,there was heart rate increase at different degree in two groups.The heart rate in patients of experiments group was increased from (73.20 ± 7.91) times/min to (88.67 ± 7.79) times/min,which waas more than that in control group (from (73.40 ±6.44) times/min to (74.88 ±7.82) times/min),and the difference between the two groups was significant(t =4.462,P ＜ 0.05).During colonoscopy inspection,the arrhythmia rate arrhythmia in experiment and control group were 46.67％ (14/30),20.00％ (6/30),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =4.8,P ＜0.05).Meanwhile,ST-T change rates in experimental group and control group were 26.7％ (8/30) and 10.0％ (3/30) (x2 =45.72,P ＜ 0.05).The rate of subjective discomfort the two groups were 40％,30％ (x2 =0.659,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion During the inspection process of colonoscopy,patients with coronary heart disease are more susceptible to increase heart rate,cardiac arrhythmia,ST-T change than those without coronary heart disease.However,no serious electrocardiographic changes.It is relatively safe to get colonoscopy in patients with coronary heart disease.
