Abstract

The aim of the present study was to investigate potential preoperative, operative, and postoperative predictors of pacemaker (PM) dependency after coronary, mitral valve, and aortic valve surgery. One hundred two patients (mean age 68 +/- 11 years; 62% men) who had received a permanent PM after cardiac surgery were included. The presence of any pacing activity in VVI mode with a lower rate of 30 beats/min was defined as PM dependency. Median time to PM implantation was 10 days after the index surgery. Pacemaker indications were atrioventricular block (AVB), sinus node dysfunction, and slow atrial fibrillation in 70%, 20%, and 11% of patients, respectively. At baseline, PM dependency rates were 0%, 9%, and 15% for patients with sinus node dysfunction, slow atrial fibrillation, and AVB, respectively (p = 0.158). Corresponding values at last follow-up were 15%, 9%, and 41% (p = 0.02). During long-term follow-up, new PM dependency developed in 21 patients (23%). Most patients had AVB as the PM indication (18 of 21 patients; 86%). Cumulative probabilities of freedom from PM dependency in patients with AVB were 63% and 30% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. Of several demographic, preoperative clinical, electrocardiographic, operative,...Continue Reading

Bradyarrhythmias

Bradyarrhythmias are slow heart rates. Symptoms may include syncope, dizziness, fatigure, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Find the latest research on bradyarrhythmias here.

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.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Atrial Filbrillation

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