TRIAL tachyarrhythmias early in the recovery period after cardiothoracic surgery are common; they develop in 11 to 40 percent of patients after coronary-artery bypass grafting 1-3 and in over 50 percent of patients after valvular surgery. 2 Technical advances in surgery and anesthesia, as well as changing methods of myocardial protection, have not decreased the incidence of postoperative atrial tachyarrhythmias. 1,3,4

Long acting β2-adrenocepter agonists are not associated with atrial arrhythmias after pulmonary resection
BACKGROUND Long-acting β2-adrenoceptor agonists have been shown to increase the risk of atrial arrhythmias in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The aim of this study was to investigate whether perioperative long-acting β2-adrenoceptor agonists treatment would increase the risk of postoperative atrial arrhythmias after lung cancer surgery in chronic obstructive pulmonar...

BACKGROUND A comprehensive evaluation of postoperative arrhythmias following surgery for congenital heart disease by continuous Holter monitoring has not been carried out. We aimed, firstly, to establish the time course of pre- and early postoperative arrhythmias by beat-to-beat analysis following cardiopulmonary bypass and, secondly, to examine which surgical procedures present risk factors fo...

متن کاملArrhythmias in Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension; A Narrative Review of the Current Literature
Incidence and prognostic relevance of supraventricular arrhythmias were evaluated in nine studies. These studies investigated patients with different forms of pulmonary hypertension. Supraventricular arrhythmias were more often found in patients with group two pulmonary hypertension. Common findings in these patients were elevated right atrial pressure and diameters and reduced tricuspid annula...
متن کاملAtrial Arrhythmias After Lung Transplantation
Background—Atrial arrhythmias (AAs) including atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial tachycardia (AT) are often observed after cardiothoracic surgery. Our aim was to evaluate the prevalence and mechanism of AAs after lung transplantation. Methods and Results—All patients (n 127) after bilateral sequential lung transplantation followed at our institution over 20 years were included. All patients re...
