Predictors and Outcomes of Pharmacological and Electrical Cardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter in an Indian Emergency Department: A Retrospective Study [PDF]

Journal of Arrhythmia
Background Cardioversion is widely used to restore sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL), yet real‐world outcomes and predictors of success remain underexplored in populations with high rheumatic disease burden. The aim was to

Effect of Early Pharmacologic Cardioversion vs. Non-early Cardioversion in the Patients With Recent-Onset Atrial Fibrillation Within 4-Week Follow-Up Period: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundWhether early pharmacologic cardioversion is necessary for recent-onset atrial fibrillation is still controversial. Current meta-analyses were limited to evaluating the effects within 24 h without sufficient considering longer follow-up ...

Electrical Cardioversion [PDF]

Annals of Saudi Medicine, 2009
External electrical cardioversion was first performed in the 1950s. Urgent or elective cardioversions have specific advantages, such as termination of atrial and ventricular tachycardia and recovery of sinus rhythm. Electrical cardioversion is life-saving when applied in urgent circumstances.
