Rheumatic valvular heart surgery and Maze III procedure.
ObjectivesAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. Drug treatment of AF usually leads to an unsatisfactory rate of recurrence. The Cox-maze III procedure for atrial fibrillation has been effective in restoring sinus rhythm in patients with mitral valve disease. MethodsFrom September 2000 to September 2002, 10 consecutive patients with rheumatic mitral valve dise...

background: atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia in patients with rheumatic mitral and other valve diseases who are candidates for valve repair surgeries. conversion of rhythm to sinus has positive effects on quality of life and lower use of medications. the aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the radiofrequency ablation maze iii procedure in the treatment of a...
متن کاملIntravenous Magnesium Prevents Atrial Fibrillation after Valvular Heart Surgery
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common complication after cardiac surgery, its frequency ranges between 25– 40% reaching upto 50% following bypass surgeries as reported in previous studies. Several reports have indicated that postoperative AF is associated with significantly increased morbidity and mortality. 2 Our primary aim in this study was to investigate the effectiveness of prophylactic mag...
متن کاملPrevention of atrial fibrillation after cardiac valvular surgery by epicardial, biatrial synchronous pacing.
OBJECTIVE Postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardiac surgery is a frequent complication after valvular surgery (30-60%). The purpose of this prospective, randomized study was to determine if biatrial synchronous pacing reduces postoperative AF after cardiac valvular surgery as compared to conventional therapy. METHODS Eighty patients subjected to valvular surgery (52 men, age 66 +/-...
متن کاملPharmacologic and Non-Pharmacologic Treatment of Chronic Atrial Fibrillation – With Special Reference to Valvular Atrial Fibrillation in Rheumatic Heart Disease
Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most commonly encountered arrhythmia in clinical practice, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Of great significance are heart failure and stroke.1 With increased incidence and prevalence of AF, it represents a growing clinical and economic burden. AF is also a progressive disease secondary to continuous structural remodeling of the atria becaus...
