Abstract

Intermittent antegrade warm blood cardioplegia (IAWBC) is a well established technique of myocardial protection for coronary artery surgery, with metabolic and experimental basis. To evaluate its effectiveness in aortic valve replacement (AVR), we compared 171 consecutive patients who underwent first AVR using IAWBC (group A) with the last 100 consecutive patients who underwent first AVR using intermittent antegrade cold blood cardioplegia (IACBC) (group B). The endpoints considered were myocardial protection related (recovery of spontaneous rhythm, need for mechanical support, incidence of low-output syndrome, perioperative Q wave myocardial infarct, CK-MB levels, ventricular arryhthmias and lidocaine infusion requirement, cardiac-related deaths, and deaths any cause) and temperature perfusion related (bleeding, awaking time, time to extubation, and cerebrovascular accidents). Mortality was similar in both groups, but no patient in group A died for cardiac-related cause (0 vs 4, p < 0.01). More patients in group A recovered a spontaneous rhythm (144 vs 47, p < 0.0001). Incidence of low-output syndrome was higher in group B (16 vs 3, p < 0.0005), as well as ventricular arryhthmias incidence and need for lidocaine infusion (resp...Continue Reading

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.
