Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The influence of ACB on cardiac arrhythmias was examined in 27 patients. Eight-hour Holter monitoring was performed 8 days preoperatively and 100 days postoperatively. Arrhythmias were divided into 3 groups (Class I: NSR +/- occasional APBs; Class II: less than five unifocal VPBs per minute; Class II: more than five VPBs per minute, multifocal VPBs, VPBs in a row or VT). Preoperative classification disclosed that 13 patients (48.1 per cent) were in Class I, six patients (22.2 per cent) were in Class II, and eight patients (29.6 per cent) were in Class III. The corresponding values after surgery were 10 patients (37.0 per cent), 13 patients (48.1 per cent), and four patients (14.8 per cent). These differences were not statistically significant (p less than 0.1). In view of the tendency of arrhythmias of Class III to improve after ACB, we feel that further investigations in this area are needed. At the present time ventricular arrhythmias alone constitute no indication for bypass surgery. |
