Atrial Arrhythmias Following Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy: A Comprehensive Review Of Current Literature

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) presents as a progressive vascular condition arising from previous episodes of acute pulmonary embolism, contributing to the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is the gold-standard surgical treatment for CTEPH; however, it may be associated with postoperative sequelae, including atrial arrhythmias (AAs). This comprehensive literature review explores the potential mechanisms for PTE-induced AAs with emphasis on the role of PH-related atrial remodelling and the predisposing factors. The identified preoperative predictors for AAs include advanced age, male gender, elevated resting heart rate, previous AAs, and baseline elevated right atrial pressure. Furthermore, we explore the available data on the association between post-PTE pericardial effusions and the development of AAs. Lastly, we briefly discuss the emerging role of radiomic analysis of epicardial adipose tissue as an imaging biomarker for predicting AAs.
