Abstract

Arrhythmia surgery has favorably impacted the clinical course of debilitating atrial and ventricular arrhythmias in patients with and without congenital heart disease. This study reviews arrhythmia mechanisms and documents long-term outcome of patients undergoing arrhythmia operations alone or associated with congenital heart repairs. The analysis excludes Fontan conversion patients. Between 1987 and 2007, arrhythmia operations were done in 11 patients without associated congenital heart disease and in 89 along with congenital heart repairs. Mean age was 15.9 +/- 12.5 years (range, 7 days-48 years); 7 were infants (mean age, 23 +/- 16 days). Resternotomy was performed in 65 (65%). Two functional ventricles were present in 67 patients; 33 had 1 functional ventricle. Arrhythmias included macro-reentrant atrial tachycardia in 45, atrial fibrillation in 11, accessory connections in 19, atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia in 6, focal atrial tachycardia in 6, and ventricular tachycardia in 13. Operative mortality was 3 (3.0%) due to advanced associated congenital heart disease. There were 4 late deaths (4.0%) and 2 late cardiac transplants (2.0%). Freedom from arrhythmia recurrence at 1 and 10 years was 94% and 85% for atrial ...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
