1. Evaluation of New Non-Pharmacological Therapies for Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation : With Special Emphasis on the Maze Procedure
Abstract : Atrial fibrillation is a common disease. With pharmacological therapy most patients with atrial fibrillation have moderate or little symptoms, but a number of patients have severely symptomatic disease. This study evaluates two new non-pharmacological therapies for atrial fibrillation, the Maze procedure and atrial overdrive pacing. READ MORE

2. Surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation : clinical, hormonal and electrophysiological aspects of the maze operation
Abstract : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia, associated with significant mortality and morbidity, due to hemodynamic impairment and the increased risk of stroke. Traditional pharmacological treatment may be insufficient or cause intolerable side-effects. READ MORE

3. Surgical Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation with Cryo and Radiofrequency Concomitant to Mitral Valve Surgery : Clinical, Biochemical and Echocardiography Outcomes
Abstract : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia seen in clinical practice. In cardiac surgery, the negative influence of AF on short- and long-term outcomes has made concomitant ablation procedures more common. READ MORE

4. Neurochemical regulators of the septohippocampal pathway : role in spatial and aversive learning
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the significance of major neurotransmitters in the septohippocampal pathway for hippocampal-dependent learning and memory. The cholinergic and GABAergic neurons in the medial septal/vertical limb of the diagonal band of Broca area (MS/vDB) projecting to the hippocampus, constitute the septohippocampal pathway, which has been implicated in a number of important functions such as attention, anxietylike behavior and hippocampal-dependent learning and memory.

5. Aspects of Intraoperative Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
Abstract : Background: Increasing knowledge about mechanisms that trigger and maintain atrial fibrillation (AF) has influenced the possibilities for treatment and even cure of AF. The surgical Cox Maze III procedure is still the gold standard for the curative treatment of AF. READ MORE
