Clinical Vulnerability Refines Rhythm-Related Outcomes in Older Patients Undergoing Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation: An Observational Cohort Study. [PDF]

J Arrhythm
In patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation, age ≥ 75 years was associated with greater recurrence‐related rhythm intervention. However, outcomes varied markedly among older adults. A simple score incorporating persistent AF, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and valve disease identified elderly patients with low or high clinical vulnerability.

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.

Diazepam in cardioversion [PDF]

Canadian Anaesthetists’ Society Journal, 1971
Ce travail decrit nos experiences au cours de 161 cardioversions par courant direct, dont 76 ont ete pratiquees sous anesthesie au diazepam seul et 85 sous anesthesie par divers agents. Generalement le premier choc etait de 100 watts seconde, et les suivants, si besoin, allaient en s’accroissant a partir de 100 watts seconde. Dans le groupe du diazepam,

Role for machine learning in sex-specific prediction of successful electrical cardioversion in atrial fibrillation?

Open Heart, 2020
Objective Electrical cardioversion is frequently performed to restore sinus rhythm in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). However, AF recurs in many patients and identifying the patients who benefit from electrical cardioversion is ...
