We have identified a reentrant circuit in the pulmonary vein region, which drives the atria, producing fibrillatory conduction, as one mechanism of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in the canine sterile pericarditis model. In this model, we tested the hypothesis that overdrive pacing from a site at or near such a reentrant circuit would interrupt it and thereby terminate POAF. We studied 11 sterile pericarditis dogs on postoperative days 1–4. Atrial electrograms (AEGs) were recorded during POAF, overdrive pacing, and pace termination from 3 sites simultaneously: Bachmann's bundle, posterior left atrium, and right atrial appendage. When recorded AEGs demonstrated regular activation, pace termination was attempted at that site by delivering a drive train starting with 4 consecutive beats at a cycle length (CL) of 2–5 ms shorter than that of the intrinsic CL. Sixteen episodes of sustained POAF (>5 minutes) diagnosed by electrocardiogram were induced. During all episodes of POAF, AEGs recorded from the left atrium exhibited regular activation, ie, constant AEG morphology and CL. When capture of the reentrant circuit by overdrive pacing occurred (mean 13 ± 5, range 5–23 beats), all 16 POAF episodes were successfully terminated. In all termination episodes, at the end of pacing but prior to the return of sinus rhythm, there was disorganized atrial activation in the previously organized sites (mean 2 seconds, range 0.1–8 seconds). However, these beats did not sustain POAF in the absence of a reentrant circuit (“driver”). Overdrive pacing from a site demonstrating regular activation during sustained POAF terminated the POAF by interrupting the reentrant circuit.
