Objective To improve the myocardial protection result, observe the effects of 11,12 epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (11,12 EET) on reperfusion arrhythmias in the isolated perfused immature rabbit hearts, which underwent long term preservation. Methods Sixteen isolated rabbit hearts were randomly assigned to two groups, 8 rabbits each group. Control group: treated with St.Thomas Ⅱ solution, experimental group: treated with St.Thomas Ⅱ solution plus 11,12 EET. By means of the Langendorff technique, these isolated rabbit hearts were arrested and stored for 16 hours with 4℃ hypothermia, and underwent 30 minutes of reperfusion(37℃). The mean times until the cessation of both electrical and mechanical activity were measured after infusion of cardioplegia. The heart rate (HR), coronary flow (CF), myocardial water content (MWC), value of creatine kinase (CK) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), myocardial calcium content and the arrhythmias score (AS) during the period and at the endpoint of the reperfusion were observed. Results The times until electrical and mechanical activity arrest in the experimental group were significantly shorter than those in control group ; HR, CF, MWC, CK, LDH, myocardial calcium content and AS were significantly better than those in control group. Conclusions These data suggest that 11,12 EET added to the cardioplegic solution of St.Thomas Ⅱ has lower incidence rate of reperfusion arrhythmias.
Objective To investigate the risky factors of ventricular arrhythmias following open heart surgery in patients with giant left ventricle, and offer the basis in order to prevent it’s occurrence. Methods The clinical materials of 176 patients who had undergone the open heart surgery were analyzed retrospectively. There were 44 patients who had ventricular arrhythmia (ventricular arrhythmia group), 132 patients who had no ventricular arrhythmia as contrast (control group). The preoperative clinical data, indexes of types of cardiopathy, ultrasonic cardiogram, electrocardiogram and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) etc. were choosed, and tested by using χ2 test,t test and logistic regression to analyse the high endangered factors for incidence of ventricular arrhythmia after open heart surgery. Results Age≥55 years (OR=3.469), left ventricular enddiastolic diameter(LVEDD)≥80 mm (OR=3.927), left ventricular ejection fraction（LVEF）≤55% (OR=2.967), CPB time≥120min(OR=5.170) and aortic clamping time≥80min(OR=4.501) were the independent risk factors of ventricular arrhythmia. Conclusion Ventricular arrhythmia is a severe complication for the patients with giant left ventricle after open heart surgery, and influence the prognosis of the patients. Patient’s age, size of the left ventricle, cardiac function, CPB time and clamping time could influence the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias.
Objective To investigate the risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. Methods The data of the patients who underwent robotic cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) from July 2016 to June 2022 in Daping Hospital of Army Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether arrhythmia occurred after operation, the patients were divided into an arrhythmia group and a non-arrhythmia group. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic analysis were used to screen the risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. ResultsA total of 146 patients were enrolled, including 55 males and 91 females, with an average age of 43.03±13.11 years. There were 23 patients in the arrhythmia group and 123 patients in the non-arrhythmia group. One (0.49%) patient died in the hospital. Univariate analysis suggested that age, body weight, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, left atrial anteroposterior diameter, left ventricular anteroposterior diameter, right ventricular anteroposterior diameter, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, uric acid, red blood cell width, operation time, CPB time, aortic cross-clamping time, and operation type were associated with postoperative arrhythmia (P<0.05). Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis suggested that direct bilirubin (OR=1.334, 95%CI 1.003-1.774, P=0.048) and aortic cross-clamping time (OR=1.018, 95%CI 1.005-1.031, P=0.008) were independent risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. In the arrhythmia group, postoperative tracheal intubation time (P<0.001), intensive care unit stay (P<0.001) and postoperative hospital stay (P<0.001) were significantly prolonged, and postoperative high-dose blood transfusion events were significantly increased (P=0.002). Conclusion Preoperative direct bilirubin level and aortic cross-clamping time are independent risk factors for arrhythmia after robotic cardiac surgery. Postoperative tracheal intubation time, intensive care unit stay, and postoperative hospital stay are significantly prolonged in patients with postoperative arrhythmia, and postoperative high-dose blood transfusion events are significantly increased.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of bipolar radiofrequency ablation for left ventricular aneurysm-related ventricular arrhythmia associated with mural thrombus. MethodsFifteen patients with left ventricular aneurysm-related frequent premature ventricular contractions associated with mural thrombus were enrolled in Beijing Anzhen Hospital between June 2013 and June 2015. There were 11 male and 4 female patients with their age of 63.5±4.8 years. All patients had a history of myocardial infarction, but no cerebral infarction. All patients received bipolar radiofrequency ablation combined with coronary artery bypass grafting, ventricular aneurysm plasty and thrombectomy. Holter monitoring and echocardiography were measured before discharge and 3 months following the operation. ResultsThere was no death during the operation. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 92.7±38.3 min. The aortic clamping time was 52.4±17.8 min.The number of bypass grafts was 3.9±0.4. All the patients were discharged 7-10 days postoperatively. None of the patients had low cardiac output syndrome, malignant arrhythmias, perioperative myocardial infarction, or cerebral infarction in this study. Echocardiography conducted before discharge showed that left ventricular end diastolic diameter was decreased (54.87±5.21 cm vs. 60.73±6.24 cm, P=0.013). While there was no significant improvement in ejection fraction (45.20%±3.78% vs. 44.47%±6.12%, P=1.00) compared with those before the surgery. The number of premature ventricular contractions[4 021.00 (2 462.00, 5 496.00)beats vs. 11 097.00 (9 327.00, 13 478.00)beats, P < 0.001] and the percentage of premature ventricular contractions[2.94% (2.12%, 4.87%) vs. 8.11% (7.51%, 10.30%), P < 0.001] in 24 hours revealed by Holter monitoring were all significantly decreased than those before the surgery. At the end of 3-month follow-up, all the patients were angina and dizziness free. Echocardiography documented that there was no statistical difference in left ventricular end diastolic diameter (55.00±4.41 mm vs. 54.87±5.21 mm, P=1.00). But there were significant improvements in ejection fraction (49.93%±4.42% vs. 45.20%±3.78%, P=0.04) in contrast to those before discharge. Holter monitoring revealed that the frequency of premature ventricular contractions[2 043.00 (983.00, 3 297.00)beats vs. 4 021.00 (2 462.00, 5 496.00)beats, P=0.03] were further lessened than those before discharge, and the percentage of premature ventricular contractions[2.62% (1.44%, 3.49%)vs. 8.11% (7.51%, 10.30%), P < 0.001] was significantly decreased than those before the surgery, but no significant difference in contrast to those before discharge. ConclusionThe recoveries of cardiac function benefit from integrated improvements in myocardial ischemia, ventricular geometry, pump function, and myocardial electrophysiology. Bipolar radiofrequency ablation can correct the electrophysiological abnormality, significantly decrease the frequency of premature ventricular contractions, and further improve the heart function.
