  2. Postpericardiotomy syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postpericardiotomy_syndrome

    There was great hope that colchicine could be a primary preventive measure in treating post-pericardiotomy syndrome due to its anti-inflammatory effects. [6] In the COPPS-2 trial, however, perioperative use of colchicine compared with placebo reduced the incidence of postpericardiotomy syndrome but not of postoperative AF or postoperative ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_atrial_appendage...

    The ULTRASEAL LAA device, from Cardia, is a percutaneous, transcatheter device intended to prevent thrombus embolization from the left atrial appendage in patients who have non-valvular atrial fibrillation. As with all Cardia devices (such as: Atrial Septal Defect Closure Device or Patent Foramen Ovale Closure Device), the Ultraseal is fully ...

  4. Postoperative cognitive dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postoperative_cognitive...

    Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is a decline in cognitive function (especially in memory and executive functions) that may last from 1–12 months after surgery, or longer. [1] In some cases, this disorder may persist for several years after major surgery. [ 2 ]

  5. Atrial fibrillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation

    Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of heart failure, dementia, and stroke. [3] [12] It is a type of supraventricular tachycardia. [14] Atrial fibrillation frequently results from bursts of tachycardia that originate in muscle bundles extending from the atrium to the pulmonary veins. [15]

  6. Cox maze procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox_maze_procedure

    Cox and his associates at Duke, and later at Washington University School of Medicine developed the "maze" or "Cox maze" procedure, an "open-heart" cardiac surgery procedure intended to eliminate atrial fibrillation (AF). Incidence of stroke in patients with AF who are anticoagulated is still around 2-5% per year.

  7. Vasoplegic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasoplegic_syndrome

    Vasoplegic syndrome is defined as low systemic vascular resistance (SVR index <1,600 dyn∙sec/cm 5 /m 2) and high cardiac output (cardiac index >2.5 L/min/m 2) within the first 4 postoperative hours. [3]

  8. Junctional ectopic tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junctional_Ectopic_Tachycardia

    Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) is a rare syndrome of the heart that manifests in patients recovering from heart surgery. [1] It is characterized by cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular beating of the heart, caused by abnormal conduction from or through the atrioventricular node (AV node).

  9. Implantable loop recorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implantable_loop_recorder

    This trial found that ILR screening led to a threefold increase in atrial fibrillation detection and anticoagulation initiation. However, it did not show a significant reduction in the risk of stroke or systemic arterial embolism, indicating that not all screen-detected atrial fibrillation might warrant anticoagulation treatment.
