Abstract

Background

Atrial arrhythmias are frequently described in congenital heart disease.

Objectives

To provide a surgical perspective of anti-arrhythmic procedures and strategic approaches.

Methods

Discussion of the history of anti-arrhythmic treatments in congenital heart disease.

Results

Before the advent of the Maze procedure (first published in 1991), surgery mainly focused on patients with Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome and also on arrhythmias in Ebstein’s malformation. Atrial septal defects (ASD) subsequently received more attention, i.e., in terms of atrial arrhythmia in the natural prognosis and the surgically modified course and in terms of surgical versus transcatheter approaches. Based on the background of various atrial arrhythmia mechanisms of ASD, several surgical procedures have been reported, ranging from the bilateral full Maze procedure to simple modification of right atriotomy. The so-called right atrial Maze procedure occupies a special position from the viewpoint of cardiology in acquired heart disease, especially in cases of frequently occurring right heart failure. In hearts with more complex structural abnormalities, a detailed understanding of the conditions to improve overall surgical outcome and develop future “anti-arrhythmic” strategies is necessary.

Conclusions

It is important to precisely specify factors in the individual cases, not only morphological diversity but also technical and strategic variations and their consequences. A variety of anti-arrhythmic surgical procedures are currently available. How and when to use which procedure requires professional insight and cautious clinical decision-making.

Screening-Mammografie offenbart erhöhtes Herz-Kreislauf-Risiko

26.04.2024 Mammografie Nachrichten

Routinemäßige Mammografien helfen, Brustkrebs frühzeitig zu erkennen. Anhand der Röntgenuntersuchung lassen sich aber auch kardiovaskuläre Risikopatientinnen identifizieren. Als zuverlässiger Anhaltspunkt gilt die Verkalkung der Brustarterien.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.

Adipositas-Medikament auch gegen Schlafapnoe wirksam

24.04.2024 Adipositas Nachrichten

Der als Antidiabetikum sowie zum Gewichtsmanagement zugelassene Wirkstoff Tirzepatid hat in Studien bei adipösen Patienten auch schlafbezogene Atmungsstörungen deutlich reduziert, informiert der Hersteller in einer Vorab-Meldung zum Studienausgang.
