“…However, some studies have shown that off-pump CABG does not change the incidence of postoperative AF compared with traditional CABG. 18,19 It is still unclear whether off-pump procedures result in a lower incidence of postoperative AF.…”

Inflammation of Atrium After Cardiac Surgery Is Associated With Inhomogeneity of Atrial Conduction and Atrial Fibrillation

Background— Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common after cardiac surgery. Abnormal conduction is an important substrate for AF. We hypothesized that atrial inflammation alters atrial conduction properties. Methods and Results— Normal mongrel canines (n=24) were divided into 4 groups consisting of anesthesia alone (control group); pericardiotomy (pericardiotomy group); lateral right atriotomy (atriotomy group); and lateral right atriotomy with antiinflammatory therapy (methylprednisolone 2 mg/kg per day) (antiinflammatory group). Right atrial activation was examined 3 days after surgery. Inhomogeneity of conduction was quantified by the variation of maximum local activation phase difference. To initiate AF, burst pacing was performed. Myeloperoxidase activity and neutrophil cell infiltration in the atrial myocardium were measured to quantify the degree of inflammation. The inhomogeneity of atrial conduction of the atriotomy and pericardiotomy groups was higher than that of the control group (2.02±0.10, 1.51±0.03 versus 0.96±0.08, respectively; P <0.005). Antiinflammatory therapy decreased the inhomogeneity of atrial conduction after atriotomy (1.16±0.10; P <0.001). AF duration was longer in the atriotomy and pericardiotomy groups than in the control and antiinflammatory groups ( P =0.012). There also were significant differences in myeloperoxidase activity between the atriotomy and pericardiotomy groups and the control group (0.72±0.09, 0.41±0.08 versus 0.18±0.03 ΔOD/min per milligram protein, respectively; P <0.001). Myeloperoxidase activity of the antiinflammatory group was lower than that of the atriotomy group (0.17±0.02; P <0.001). Inhomogeneity of conduction correlated with myeloperoxidase activity ( r =0.851, P <0.001). Conclusions— The degree of atrial inflammation was associated with a proportional increase in the inhomogeneity of atrial conduction and AF duration. This may be a factor in the pathogenesis of early postoperative AF. Antiinflammatory therapy has the potential to decrease the incidence of AF after cardiac surgery.

“…AF is a common arrhythmia after any type of cardiac sur gery, including CABG surgery or surgical valve replace ment/repair. [204][205][206][207][208][209] Newonset AF in CABG may occur at any point from the time of the procedure, usually 2 to 4 days postoperatively with peak occurrence at 2 days. 206 AF occurs in 28% to 33% of patients undergo ing CABG.…”

Background and Purpose: This scientific statement provides an interprofessional, comprehensive review of evidence and recommendations for indications, duration, and implementation of continuous electro cardiographic monitoring of hospitalized patients. Since the original practice standards were published in 2004, new issues have emerged that need to be addressed: overuse of arrhythmia monitoring among a variety of patient populations, appropriate use of ischemia and QT-interval monitoring among select populations, alarm management, and documentation in electronic health records. Methods: Authors were commissioned by the American Heart Association and included experts from general cardiology, electrophysiology (adult and pediatric), and interventional cardiology, as well as a hospitalist and experts in alarm management. Strict adherence to the American Heart Association conflict of interest policy was maintained throughout the consensus process. Authors were assigned topics relevant to their areas of expertise, reviewed the literature with an emphasis on publications since the prior practice standards, and drafted recommendations on indications and duration for electrocardiographic monitoring in accordance with the American Heart Association Level of Evidence grading algorithm that was in place at the time of commissioning. Results: The comprehensive document is grouped into 5 sections: (1) Overview of Arrhythmia, Ischemia, and QTc Monitoring; (2) Recommendations for Indication and Duration of Electrocardiographic Monitoring presented by patient population; (3) Organizational Aspects: Alarm Management, Education of Staff, and Documentation; (4) Implementation of Practice Standards; and (5) Call for Research. Conclusions: Many of the recommendations are based on limited data, so authors conclude with specific questions for further research.

Atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass

Abstract: Atrial fibrillation is a common complication after procedures of myocardial revascularization, performed with or without cardiopulmonary bypass. The occurrence is not dependent on the type of operation.
