Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains the most common sustained arrhythmia disorder, with recurrent symptoms and thromboembolic risk. In the last few years AF has become the focus of intense clinical and experimental interest which confirm that this arrhythmia is due to increased atrial tissue automaticity with subsequent re-entry mechanisms. With better understanding of its pathophysiology, an efficient surgical treatment has been developped. Surgical interventions of supraventicular tachycardias are targeted to neutralise the arrhythmogenic disorder using exclusion or ablation. Several methods can be used like surgical incisions, cryoablation, radiofrequency, microwave or laser energy ablation. Since surgery is a transparietal approach requiring cardiopulmonary bypass, myocardial preservation and atriotomy, associated morbidity is due to the high technicalities of this treatment and not necessarily to the therapy in itself. New developpments in the surgical approach tend to avoid cardiopulmonary bypass to reduce morbidity. The modified Maze procedure with alternative energy sources to achieve transmural atrial lesions allows to broaden surgical indication to all cardiac surgery patients with a history of paroxysmal or permanent AF. The aim of this review is to describe this evolving domain of modern surgical management of atrial fibrillation. Full article

The standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) remains the most used tool for the diagnosis, early risk stratification, triage, and guidance of therapy in patients with acute coronary syndromes. In general, patients with ST-elevation-infarction and ST-elevation in a large number of leads or high absolute sum of ST deviation have a larger myocardial infarction than patients with ST deviation in a smaller number of leads or low sum of ST deviation. ST elevation with negative T waves occurring more than 2 hours of onset of symptoms may be used as a sign of a more advanced stage of infarction or presence of irreversible damage. The admission ECG may assist in identifying the exact site of coronary artery occlusion; this article presents the following relevant ECG patterns: very proximal LAD occlusion in anterior STEMI, left main coronary artery disease and right ventricular infarction accompanying acute inferior STEMI. In patients with unstable angina/non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction ischaemic burden (quantitative measurements of ST-T-segment deviations) on the admission ECG identifies patients who benefit the most from an invasive treatment strategy. Isolated T-wave inversion identifies a subgroup of patients with unstable angina/non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction who have a favourable long-term outcome if revascularised very early.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmic complication after cardiac surgery. Despite more than 100 trials dealing with the prevention of postoperative AF and improvements in surgical techniques, questions remain about the optimal approach to prevent postoperative AF. Postoperative AF is associated with increased morbidity, length of hospital stay and costs, and should, therefore, be avoided. Aim of this article is to give an overview of current trends in the prevention of postoperative AF. Full article
