Atrial and ventricular pacing after open heart surgery.
The effect of cardiac pacing, through a wide range of pacing rates, has been studied in 13 patients in stable sinus rhythm within 24 hours of operation. Using first atrial and then ventricular pacing, the cardiac rate was raised to 60% above control value. The effects of atrial and ventricular pacing were compared by observing the differences in the various parameters measured at corresponding ...
متن کاملEntrainment and interruption of atrial flutter with atrial pacing: studies in man following open heart surgery.
To examine the question of why the pacing rate and duration of atrial pacing are crucial factors in the successful interruption of atrial flutter, studies were performed on 30 patients in the period following open heart surgery. In each patient the diagnosis of atrial flutter was made using a pair of wire electrodes placed on the right atrial epicardium at the time of operation and brought out ...
متن کاملVariables that predict reintubation after open-heart surgery
Abstract Background: This study sought to determine patient characteristics, process of care, and outcome as predictors of reintubation after open-heart surgery. Methods: We performed a retrospective case control study that included all patients undergoing cardiac surgery who required reintubation and an equal number of control patients not requiring reintubation. Putative risk factors were an...
متن کاملAtrial and Ventricular Pacing
The role of simultaneous and sequential atrioventricular (AV) stimulation in prevention of tachyeardia induction, and the underlying electrophysiologic mechanisms involved, were studied in 10 patients with documented paroxysmal reentrant supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). Reentry circuit was localized to the AV node in seven of 10. The remaining three cases had Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syn...
متن کاملAtrial Tachycardias Occurring Late After Open Heart Surgery
Atrial tachycardias are common after open heart surgery. Most commonly these are macro-reentrant including cavotricuspid isthmus dependent atrial flutter, incisional right atrial flutter and left atrial flutter. Focal atrial tachycardias occur less frequently. The specific type of atrial tachycardia highly depends on the type of surgical incision. Catheter ablation can be very effective, howeve...
