Risk Scoring

Abstract Background Following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc have utility in predicting long-term outcomes. However, it is currently unknown if the same holds for patients undergoing surgical ablation. Purpose To determine whether CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc predict long-term outcomes after surgical ablation in concomitance with other cardiac surgery. Methods In this prospective, follow-up study, we included patients who underwent biatrial ablation - or pulmonary vein isolation procedure concomitantly with other cardiac surgery between 2004 and 2018. CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores were assessed prior to surgery and categorized in groups as 0–1, 2–4 or ≥5. Outcomes were death, AF, and AF-related death. Follow-up was ended in April 2019. Results A total of 587 patients with a mean age of 68.7±0.4 years were included. Both CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores were predictors of survival p=0.005 and p<0.001, respectively (Figure). For CHADS2, mean survival times were 5.9±3.7 years for scores 0–1, 5.0±3.0 years for scores 2–4 and 4.3±2.6 years for scores ≥5. For CHA2DS2-VASc mean survival times were 7.3±4.0 years for scores 0–1, 5.6±2.9 years for scores 2–4 and 4.8±2.1 years for scores ≥5. The incidence of death was 20.1% for CHADS2 0–1, 24.8% for CHADS2 2–4, and 35.3% for CHADS2 ≥5, p=0.186. The incidence of AF was 50.2% for CHADS2 0–1, 47.9% for CHADS2 2–4, and 76.5% for CHADS2 ≥5, p=0.073. The incidence of AF related death was 13.0% for CHADS2 0–1, 16.8% for CHADS2 2–4, and 35.3% for CHADS2 ≥5, p=0.031. The incidence of death was 16.8% for CHA2DS2-VASc 0–1, 26.2% for CHA2DS2-VASc 2–4, and 45.0% for CHA2DS2-VASc ≥5, p=0.001. The incidence of AF was 49.6% for CHA2DS2-VASc 0–1, 52.5% for CHA2DS2-VASc 2–4, and 72.5% for CHA2DS2-VASc ≥5, p=0.035. The incidence of AF related death was 12.2% for CHA2DS2-VASc 0–1, 16.0% for CHA2DS2-VASc 2–4, and 42.5% for CHA2DS2-VASc ≥5, p<0.001. Conclusion Both CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores predict long-term outcomes after surgical ablation for AF. However, CHA2DS2-VASc was superior in predicting death, AF, and AF-related death.

Abstract Background COVID-19 has caused a global pandemic of unprecedented proportions. Elective cardiac surgery has been universally postponed with only urgent and emergency cardiac operations being performed. The National Health Service in the United Kingdom introduced national measures to conserve intensive care beds and significantly limit elective activity shortly after lockdown. Case presentation We report two cases of early post-operative mortality secondary to COVID-19 infection immediately prior to the implementation of these widespread measures. Conclusion The role of cardiac surgery in the presence of COVID-19 is still very unpredictable and further studies on both short term and long term outcomes are warranted.

The aim – to determine the factors associated with the frequency of hospitalizations for decompensation of heart failure (HF) after cardiac surgery in patients with valvular heart disease. Materials and methods. 235 patients who underwent cardiac surgery for valvular heart disease were examined. During the period from 2014 to 2017, a part of patients (129 people) had no hospitalizations, while 106 people were on inpatient treatment from 1 to 10 times, on average 2.78±1.95. The complex of examination of patients along with physical examination included electrocardiography, echocardiography. Results and discussion. During dynamic observation for 2 years in the group of patients without hospitalization, a progressive statistically significant decrease in the size of the left atrium (LA) and left ventricle (LV) as well as an increase in LV contractility were noted, while in the group of patients after hospitalization such changes were not observed. The dimensions of the chambers of the heart remained practically unchanged for 2 years. Thus, it can be concluded that the more severe course of heart failure after prosthetics of heart valves is accompanied by the absence of reverse remodeling of the heart chambers. Predictors of hospitalizations for HF are the presence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and permanent form of atrial fibrillation. Conclusions. The probability of progression of heart failure in patients after cardiosurgical intervention for valvular heart pathology is not affected by sex, age, type of lesion of the valve, etiology of valve damage, indicators of echocardiography. Predictors of hospitalizations for heart faiure in the long-term postoperative period are the presence of diabetes, AF, and AH. The more severe course of heart failure after prosthetics of heart valves is accompanied by the absence of reverse remodeling of the heart chambers.
