Zusammenfassung: | PURPOSE: To study the interatrial conduction times and atrial node performance in patients submitted to mitral valve surgery with the aid of temporary atrial epicardic electrodes. METHODS: The atriograms were carried out in the first postoperative day and before the hospital discharge of ten consecutive patients. RESULTS: Sixty percent of the patients could complete the post-operative study protocol. The main results were: a) Post-operative arrhythmias were detected in 50% of the patients; b) There were no statistical differences between the pre and post-operative 12 lead EKGs. c) The interatrial conduction time (IACT) ranged from 90 to 140ms in the first post-operative day, and from 110 to 130ms at hospital discharge; d) The sinus node recovery time (SNRT) ranged from 250 to 560 ms in the first post-operative day and from 180 to 360ms at hospital discharge; e) The sinus atrial conduction time (SACT) remained between 70 and 140ms, both in the first post-operative day and at hospital discharge, and; f) The IACT was normal in patients whose left atrium (LA) was less than 50mm in diameter but supra normal in the remaining cases. CONCLUSIONS: Sinus node function and inter-atrial conduction are not altered by mitral valve operation. Post-operative programmed epicardic atrial stimulation is easy and safe.OBJETIVO: Estudar os tempos de condução interatrial e a função do nó sinusal em pacientes submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico. MÉTODOS: Foram estudados 10 pacientes adultos consecutivos submetidos à operação de correção de valvopatia mitral. Registraram-se atriogramas usando eletrodos epimiocárdicos cirurgicamente implantados. Os atriogramas foram obtidos no primeiro dia do pós-operatório e antes da alta hospitalar. RESULTADOS: Os principais achados foram: a) A incidência de arritmias atriais até alta hospitalar foi de 50 %; b) O tempo de condução interatrial (TCIA) variou de 90 a 140 ms no 1°PO e 110 a130 ms antes da alta hospitalar; c) O tempo de recuperação do nó sinusal (TRNS) variou de 250 a 560 ms no 1°PO e180 a 360 ms antes da alta hospitalar; d) O tempo de condução sinoatrial (TCSA) variou de 70 a 140 ms tanto no 1ºPO, como antes da alta hospitalar e; d) O tempo de condução interatrial (TCIA) foi normal em pacientes com átrio esquerdo menores do que 50 mm e supranormal nos outros casos. CONCLUSÃO: As funções do nó sinusal e a condução interatrial não foram alteradas pelo tratamento cirúrgico da valvopatia mitral. A estimulação atrial epicárdica programada |
