    OBJECTIVE: Bradyarrhythmia is one of the complications that may develop after cardiac surgery. Only a few studies have previously dealt with this concern, and in our study, we investigated the factors affecting the development of atrioventricular block or sinus node dysfunction and the requirement of permanent pacemaker following cardiac surgery. METHODS: A total of 62 patients who developed the atrioventricular (AV) block or sinus node dysfunction and required a permanent pacemaker following cardiac surgery were included in the study. Among these, 31 patients were evaluated prospectively, and the information regarding 31 patients was evaluated retrospectively based on hospital records. Demographic, clinical, and surgical information was recorded. Patients were grouped according to the types of procedures, including the coronary artery bypass graft, valve surgery, congenital heart disease, and combinations of these. Patients were evaluated by standard 12-lead electrocardiogram and transthoracic echocardiography preoperatively. The postoperative development of bradyarrhythmia and requirement of permanent pacemaker were evaluated. RESULTS: The mean age of patients with preoperative conduction abnormality and wide QRS was statistically significantly higher than those without these disorders. The odds ratio for preoperative conduction abnormality risk in patients over 70 years of age was found as 4.429 (95% confidence interval, 1.40-13.93). There was no gender-related statistically significant difference in terms of left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular dilatation, interventricular septum thickness, the time interval from operation to the development of AV block, concomitant diseases, and complication rates. CONCLUSION: Preoperative conduction abnormality and wide QRS in patients over 70 years of age was determined as a risk factor.

    Objective: The aim of this study was to determine adiponectin and copeptin levels that might be prognostic for cardiovascular mortality (CvsM) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who had percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods: Patients who underwent PCI between November 2010 and April 2011 were enrolled and followed for more than eight years. The baseline, demographic and angiographic findings, in-hospital follow up, laboratory results including adiponectin and copeptin levels, and echocardiographic data of the patients were evaluated.Results: There were 78 males and 20 females. The CvsM rate was 26.66% at 112 months of follow up. Some factors were significantly related to CvsM and adiponectin level was an independent predictor of mortality. A cut-off value of >= 8 950 ng/ml for adiponectin and >= 7.41 ng/ml for copeptin was related to a 3.01-and 2.83-times higher CvsM risk, respectively.Conclusion: Adiponectin level was a predictor for CvsM. Higher levels of adiponectin and copeptin could predict a higher risk of CvsM in STEMI patients.
