Question: Study (IJBEM 2003) of the P-loop found that abnormal inscription direction of the P-loop had partial negative sequence (PNS) or complete negative sequence (CNS) type similar to the Physics problem of generators. Can these abnormalities of the P-loop be found in patients with atrial septal defect (ASD), and can they be altered by the Amplatzer occluder (AO)?
Method used: A total of 28 patients with secundum ASD received transcatheter occlusion of the ASD. They had pre and post-operation Frank vectorcardiographic (VCG) and ECG examinations.
Results: The pre-VCG test of the P-loop showed that the Left Sagittal plane had eight PNS and one CNS (32%). The post-VCG test revealed that half of the PNS and one CNS type returned to normal rotation. However, five normal anticlockwise p-loops changed to PNS type. The pre-VCG test showed that the Frontal plane had nine PNS and four CNS (46%). The post-VCG test revealed that three PNS and one CNS type returned to normal. Three PNS downgraded to CNS type. However, three normal P-loops deteriorated into PNS type, and two into CNS type.
Conclusion: Therefore, in patho-electro-physics-physiology, AO can alter negative sequence voltages from ASD, but AO itself can also contribute to iatrogenic negative sequence voltages in the atria.
