The Annals of Thoracic Surgery

Abstract

Congenital heart disease (CHD) that causes right atrial dilatation is commonly associated with atrial flutter and/or fibrillation (AFl/F). To reduce late recurrence of AFl/F in patients undergoing repair of CHD, we utilized a concomitant right-sided maze procedure. From 1993 to 2003, 99 patients with CHD and associated AFl/F underwent a concomitant right-sided maze procedure at the time of CHD repair. Ages ranged from 9 to 72 years (median, 43 years). Atrial flutter and/or fibrillation was paroxysmal in 81 and chronic in 18; duration ranged from less than 1 month to 39.5 years (median, 2.9 years). Primary cardiac diagnoses were Ebstein anomaly (n = 47), other congenital tricuspid regurgitation (n = 19), univentricular heart (n = 11), isolated atrial septal defect (ASD, n = 8), tetralogy of Fallot (n = 8), and other (n = 6). Other concomitant procedures included tricuspid valve repair or replacement (n = 70), ASD closure (n = 39), and pulmonary valve procedures (n = 18). There were 6 early deaths. At hospital dismissal, 83 patients were free of AFl/F and 63 were in sinus rhythm. Follow-up in 87 of the 93 early survivors extended up to 8 years (mean, 2.7 years). There were 4 late deaths, all from noncardiac causes. Of the 83 know...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.

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.

Anti-Arrhythmic Drug Therapies

Anti-arrhythmic drugs are used to prevent abnormal heart rhythms. These medications are used in conditions including, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation. Discover the latest research on anti-arrhythmic drug therapies here.

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.

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.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Understanding the mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic agents is essential in developing new medications as treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is currently limited by the reduced availability of safe and effective drugs. Discover the latest research on Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanism of Action here.
