RESULTS: In groups I and II, LP was present in 21 (78%) of the patients with SVT and in 22 (31%) of the patients with SVT (p < 0.001), with Sensitivity (S) 78%; Specificity (SP) 70% and Accuracy (Ac) 72%. LP was present in 30 (48%) of the patients without and 20 (67%) of the patients with SVT, in groups III and IV. p = 0.066, with S = 66%; SP = 52%; and Ac = 57%. In the follow-up, there were 4 deaths unrelated to arrhythmic events, all of them did not have LP. Eight (29.6%) of the patients from group II and 4 (13%) from group IV presented recurrence of SVT and 91.6% of these patients had LP. CONCLUSIONS: LP occurred in 77.7% of patients with SVT and without BBB. In the groups with BBB, there was association of LP with SVT in 66.6% of the cases. The recurrence of SVT was patient in 21% of the cases from which 91.6% had LP. |
