摘要

To many authors, cardiomyoplasty is a clinical reality, founded on the basis of its girdling effect which limits and/or reverses the progressive dilatation of a failing heart. Load-independent measurements of cardiac function demonstrate a real improvement of the heart energetics when analyses are compared before and after cardiomyoplasty. Standard indices of systolic function are not consistently improved. One of the factors limiting the systolic assistance of cardiomyoplasty is muscle performance after full conditioning of LD. Clinically, it is accepted that LD benefits the patient's quality of life only if its activation is optimally delayed after the sensed QRS complex in order to avoid mitral regurgitation. Since maximum instantaneous power of a fully conditioned LD is smaller than the peak power of the left ventricle, the grafted muscle could assist the heart during mid and late systolic phases. Such a short time window requires a fast, powerful contraction which is not delivered by a fully transformed LD. Monitoring LD function is essential for evaluating and implementing new concepts aimed at improving LD function for greater systolic benefit. We have developed a simple non-invasive method to analyse the dynamic characteristics of the LD flap during conditioning and chronic stimulation using a standard polygraph. To perform this monitoring we have implemented the basic concept of tetanic fusion frequency analysis. By monitoring changes in fusion frequency over time, we hoped that it would be possible to adjust daily stimulation parameters in order to maintain a faster, more powerful muscle. In fact, this has now been achieved by implementing an activity-rest regime. After months of continuous daily stimulation it is possible to reverse the fast-to-slow transformation by a demand stimulation protocol which allows the LD flap to rest during periods of low-activity, both day and night. With this lighter stimulation regime, now used in patients at more than one-year of follow-up, substantial improvement in quality of life has occurred with a reduction in heart failure symptoms from N.Y.H.A. Class III to I. If these preliminary data can be substantiated by long-term results in these patients and in future patients in an Italian Trial of Demand Dynamic Cardiomyoplasty (DDC), we are confident that DDC could offer long-standing benefits to manage pharmacologically-intractable heart failure.
