Mechanical closure of the left atrial appendage: Is it time to be more aggressive?  James L. Cox, MD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 146, Issue 5, Pages 1018-1027.e2 (November 2013) DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2013.07.011 Copyright © 2013 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

Figure 3 Postoperative electrograms of the right atrium, left atrium (L.A.), right ventricle, and lead II electrocardiogram are recorded during simultaneous monitoring of the cardiac output (aortic flow), systemic arterial blood pressure (B.P.), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), and pulmonary artery (P.A.) pressure. In the control tracings, the right and left atria are both being paced, but the pacing stimulus to the left atrium is delayed 30 ms to simulate the exact activation pattern that existed preoperatively during normal sinus rhythm. The pacing stimulus to the left atrium is then abruptly discontinued (Silent L.A.). No alterations in normal atrioventricular conduction from the right atrium occur, yet there is no change in left ventricular preload, afterload, or cardiac output. The left atrium is then paced at a rate of 300 pulses/min (L.A. SVT), with no alteration in normal atrioventricular conduction from the right atrium or in the preload, afterload, or cardiac output. SVT, Supraventricular tachycardia; ECG, electrocardiogram.
