The Cox-Maze Procedure in Mitral Valve Disease: Predictors of Failure A. Marc Gillinov, Jon Sirak, Eugene H Blackstone, Jeevanantham Rajeswaran, Patrick M Mccarthy, Gosta Pettersson, Joseph F Sabik, III, Lars G Svensson, Delos M Cosgrove; Cleveland, OH Objective: The Cox-Maze procedure is the gold standard for ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients having mitral valve surgery, and new approaches to AF ablation must be compared to it. Therefore, we sought to determine time-related prevalence of AF and its risk factors, and ablation failure and its risk factors, after combined Cox-Maze and mitral valve surgery. Methods: From 1991 to 2004, 262 patients underwent combined mitral valve (repair-71%) and Cox-Maze procedures for AF (permanent-74%, persistent-7%, paroxysmal-16%). Rhythm documented on 1,601 postoperative electrocardiograms was used to estimate prevalence of AF across time. Maze failure was defined as occurrence of AF any time beyond 6 months after operation.

In fact, your heart moves about 100 gallons (379 liters) of blood through your body every hour. Blood is pumped through your heart in only one direction. Heart valves play key roles in this one-way blood flow, opening and closing with each heartbeat. Pressure changes behind and in front of the valves allow them to open their flap-like "doors" (called cusps or leaflets) at just the right time, then close them tightly to prevent a backflow of blood. There are 4 valves in the heart: Tricuspid valve Pulmonary valve Mitral valve Aortic valve Blood without oxygen returns from the body and flows into the heart's upper-right chamber (the right atrium). From there, it is forced through the tricuspid valve into the lower-right chamber (the right ventricle). The right ventricle pumps the blood through the pulmonary valve and into the lungs. While in the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen. As the right ventricle is preparing to push blood through the pulmonary valve, the tricuspid valve closes to stop blood from flowing back into the right atrium.

FREE INFORMATION Effective May, 2005 - DVD from April 19, 2005 meeting (see below) Great news! New Harbinger Publications contacted us a couple of years ago and asked us to write an MVPS book!! The book, entitled, "The Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome/Dysautonomia Survival Guide" is now in its third printing. "Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome is a book full of practical, self-care strategies that work, as well as guidance for getting effective medical help. It's the best book on this subject currently available, because it's written by people who understand the illness from the inside and know every step on the road to recovery. If you have MVPS, this book will change your life." Matthew McKay, Ph.D., author of

Valvular Heart Disease HeartPoint animation: this will take approximately 1 minute to load. It is easily understood that the muscle that we call the heart must continue to pump with adequate force to pump the blood that the body needs. "Valves" however are extremely important to the heart's efficiency. These delicate structures allow for the efficient flow of blood progressively forward through the heart's chambers, maximizing the efficiency of the heart muscle's work. To review the flow of blood through the heart, you can check out "The Heart" animation. link In the animation above, the Tricuspid Valve (between the right atrium and right ventricle) and the Pulmonic Valve (between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery) are illustrated to be working normally. After the right ventricle contracts, pressure is low in the chamber. The Tricuspid Valve, which had been closed from the pressure generated from the ventricle's contraction, now opens as the pressure of the blood from the right atrium has built up while the Tricuspid Valve was closed. The right ventricle will again contract, closing the Tricuspid Valve again, and pushing open the Pulmonic Valve. Once the right ventricle completes its contraction, the pressure in the pulmonary artery will be higher than in the right ventricle, and the Valve will close. The valves on the left side of the heart, the Aortic Valve and the Mitral Valve however, are not working properly. Blood returns from the lungs and empties into the left atrium. In this illustration, the Mitral Valve opens properly when the left ventricle is finished contracting, and allows blood to flow into the left ventricle easily. When the left ventricle contracts however, blood is shown to flow back into the left atrium through the Mitral Valve. This backward flow of blood is called

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Mitral valve prolapse can be caused by a variety of mechanisms. In most cases, it is harmless and does not cause symptoms or need to be treated. In a small number of cases, it can cause severe mitral regurgitation (leakage of blood back through the valve) and needs to be treated with surgery. Some forms of mitral valve prolapse seem to be hereditary. Mitral valve prolapse has been associated with

Mitral Valve Prolapse The picture above shows the valves of a normal heart. In the "systole" picture in the upper right corner notice how the ends of the valve meet perfectly to close off the flow of blood. Then, in the picture below, notice how in Mitral Valve Prolapse, the ends of the valve do not quite come together, allowing a leakage of blood back into the chamber of the heart. DEFINITION OF MVP: A fairly common and often benign disorder in which a slight deformity of the mitral valve (situated in the left side of the heart) can produce a degree of leakage (mitral insufficiency). Mitral valve prolapse causes a characteristic heart murmur that may be heard through a stethoscope. Often no symptoms are present and the condition may be discovered on a routine examination. On the other hand, there are many who experience the following symptoms : Chest pain (sharp, dull or pressing). Fatigue, shortness of breath. Dizziness. Anxiety. Lightheadedness when getting up from a chair or bed. Palpitations.
