Abstract

A computerized 48-channel mapping system was used to investigate the characteristics of an atrial epicardial electrogram during chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with solitary mitral valve disease. We have devised a simple left atrial procedure to eliminate the chronic AF during a mitral valve operation. Using this mapping system, we performed intraoperative atrial mapping in 11 patients with chronic AF associated with mitral valve disease. The AF duration ranged from 0.4 to 15 years (mean, 8.0 +/- 4.5 years). A simple surgical ablation of the AF on the left atrium only was performed during the mitral valve operations. The mean AF cycle length of the atria ranged from 129 to 169 milliseconds in the right atrium and from 114 to 139 milliseconds in the left atrium. The mean AF cycle length of the left atrium was shorter than that of the right atrium. Regular and repetitive activation was found in the left atria of 7 of 11 patients. The AF disappeared in all patients immediately after the operation, and 10 of these patients continued to have a sinus rhythm postoperatively (AF-free rate, 91%). Computerized intraoperative mapping revealed a shorter mean AF cycle length in the left atrium. A simple left atrial procedure wa...Continue Reading

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.

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.
