    Abstract Purpose: Ranolazine (RAN) added to amiodarone (AMIO) has been shown to accelerate termination of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) following coronary artery bypass surgery in patients without heart failure (HF). This study aimed to investigate if treatment efficacy with AMIO or AMIO + RAN differs between patients with concomitant HF with reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFrEF or HFpEF).
    Methods: Patients with POAF and HFrEF (n = 511, 446 males; 65 ± 9 years) and with HFpEF (n = 301, 257 males; 66 ± 10 years) were enrolled. Onset of AF occurred 2.15 ± 1.0 days after cardiac surgery, and patients within each group were randomly assigned to receive either AMIO monotherapy (300 mg in 30 min + 1125 mg in 36 h iv) or AMIO+RAN combination (500 mg po + 375 mg, after 6 h and 375 mg twice daily thereafter). Primary endpoint was the time to conversion of POAF within 36 h after initiation of treatment.
    Results: AMIO restored sinus rhythm earlier in HFrEF vs. in HFpEF patients (24.3 ± 4.6 vs. 26.8 ± 2.8 h, p < 0.0001). AMIO + RAN converted POAF faster than AMIO alone in both HFrEF and HFpEF groups, with conversion times 10.4 ± 4.5 h in HFrEF and 12.2 ± 1.1 h in HFpEF patients (p < 0.0001). Left atrial diameter was significantly greater in HFrEF vs. HFpEF patients (48.2 ± 2.6 vs. 35.2 ± 2.9 mm, p < 0.0001). No serious adverse drug effects were observed during AF or after restoration to sinus rhythm in any of the patients enrolled.
    Conclusion: AMIO alone or in combination with RAN converted POAF faster in patients with reduced EF than in those with preserved EF. Thus, AMIO + RAN seems to be a valuable alternative treatment for terminating POAF in HFrEF patients.

    Abstract We describe an alternative technique for orthotopic cardiac transplantation (OCT), which we use to combine the advantages of the conventional technique (Lower and Shumway) and the bicaval anastomosis. The modified technique was utilized in 31 consecutive patients undergoing heart transplantation by one surgeon in our hospital since 1998.

    Abstract Despite the progress accomplished in the field of off-pump heart surgery, the vast majority of cardiac operations are still performed with the use of extracorporeal circulation, otherwise known as "heart-lung machine." This valuable tool, however, is connected with various complications, partly deriving from the application of intravenous heparin, necessary for the extracorporeal circuits to function. In order to deal with these complications, which among others include postoperative hemorrhage and systemic inflammatory response, several extracorporeal circulation systems, which contain a heparin-coating on their blood-contacting surfaces, have been developed with patents. The philosophy behind the creation of these systems is that with the controlled absorption and interaction of this heparin with the blood elements, adequate intraoperative anticoagulation with lower doses of systemic heparin and fewer systemic complications can be achieved. The idea of the use of heparin coatings has also been applied in other settings, such as in renal dialysis catheters, ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), MECC (minimized extracorporeal circulation) and left ventricle assist devices.
