Abstract
Objetivo. Describir la calidad de vida en pacientes con arritmias ventriculares idiopáticas, tratados en el Instituto Nacional Cardiovascular INCOR de Lima-Perú. Materiales y métodos. Estudio analítico y transversal de pacientes con arritmias ventriculares idiopáticas, tratados mediante ablación 3D o terapia antiarrítmica entre julio 2017 y diciembre de 2019 a quienes se aplicó el cuestionario de salud SF-36 para evaluar la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud. Resultados. Se incluyeron a 52 pacientes con arritmias ventriculares idiopáticas (34 fueron a ablación 3D y 18 solo terapia antiarrítmica). El porcentaje de recurrencia (14,7% vs. 50%, p=0,01) y efectos adversos (0% vs. 22,2%, p=0,011) fueron menores en el grupo ablación 3D comparado con el grupo antiarrítmico. Los puntajes estandarizados promedios obtenidos de la versión española del cuestionario de salud SF-36v2™ Health Survey © 1993, 2003, aplicado a los grupos de ablación 3D y antiarritmicos fueron 85,1 vs. 68,4 (p<0,001) respectivamente. Se encontró diferencias estadísticamente significativas en 6 de los 8 componentes que evalúan la calidad de vida relacionado a la salud: función física (96,0 vs. 76,0, p<0,001); rol físico (93,4 vs. 61,1, p<0,001); salud general (74,5 vs. 47,4, p<0,001); vitalidad (69,9 vs. 54,7, p=0,008); rol emocional (92,2 vs. 77,8, p=0,006) y salud mental (73,8 vs. 60, p<0,001). Conclusiones. Los pacientes con arritmias ventriculares idiopáticas que fueron a ablación 3D presentan un mayor puntaje estandarizado promedio de calidad de vida relacionado a la salud.Objective. To describe the quality of life in patients with idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias treated at the Instituto Nacional Cardiovascular INCOR in Lima -Peru. Materials and methods. Analytical and cross-sectional study of patients with idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias treated by 3D ablation or antiarrhythmic therapy between July 2017 and December 2019 to whom the SF-36 health questionnaire was applied to assess quality of life related to health. Results. Fifty-two patients with idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias were included (34 underwent 3D ablation, and 18 underwent antiarrhythmic therapy only). The percentage of recurrence (14.7% vs. 50%, p=0.01) and adverse effects (0% vs. 22.2%, p=0.011) were lower in the 3D ablation group compared to the antiarrhythmic group. The mean standardized scores obtained from the Spanish version of the Health Survey SF-36v2, applied to the 3D ablation and antiarrhythmic groups were 85.1 vs 68.4 (p<0.001), respectively. Were found statistically significant differences in 6 of the eight components that evaluate health-related quality of life: physical function (96.0 vs. 76.0, p<0.001), physical role (93.4 vs. 61.1, p<0.001), general health (74.5 vs. 47.4, p<0.001), vitality (69.9 vs 54.7, p=0.008), emotional role (92.2 vs. 77.8, p=0.006) and mental health (73.8 vs. 60, p<0.001). Conclusions. Patients with idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias who underwent 3D ablation have a higher mean standardized score for health-related quality of life
