Effect of the stellate ganglion blockade upon the electrical systole (Q-T interval) of the heart. 1978

F Solti, and A Balogh, and E Czakó

The effect of the Novocain blockade of the stellate ganglion upon the duration of the electrical systole (Q-T) of the heart was studied in 38 patients. Basic Q-T was normal in 17 patients; in these cases stellate ganglion blockade did not influence the Q-T interval. Of the 21 cases with Q-T prolongation, in 10 the Q-T interval became considerably shorter upon the effect of blockade. In the 11 cases that did not respond to the blockade, ECG repolarization was regular, and there was no arrhythmia. Of the 10 responsive cases with Q-T prolongation, in 9 the repolarization was pathological, and in 6 there was no chronic arrhythmia. The authors discuss the role of the sympathetic nervous system in certain forms of Q-T prolongation.
