Left atrial size and function after spontaneous cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and their relation to N-terminal atrial natriuretic peptide [PDF]

, 2003
In conclusion, higher levels of N-ANP during AF were independently associated with spontaneous conversion, as well as with smaller LA volume.An inverse correlation existed between LA volume and N ...

Effectiveness of direct oral anticoagulants for all‐cause mortality and cardiovascular events in overweight and obese patients with atrial fibrillation: Insight from the nationwide START registry

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study shows that overweight and obese patients with atrial fibrillation experience improved outcomes when treated with DOACs compared with VKAs. Specifically, DOAC use was associated with lower risks of all‐cause mortality and cardiovascular events.

Outcomes of Focused Double Extrastimuli Mapping and Ablation in Ventricular Tachycardia

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 137-148, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Conventional substrate mapping for scar‐related ventricular tachycardia (VT) often fails to fully delineate critical arrhythmogenic components. Functional mapping strategies using extrastimuli have shown promise but are limited by procedural complexity.

Management of Ablation‐Refractory Atrial Fibrillation During Pregnancy

Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Development of new atrial fibrillation (AF) is uncommon in pregnancy with an incidence of 0.03%. The occurrence of drug‐refractory AF during pregnancy in individuals with structurally normal hearts is even rarer, and there are no reports of ablation‐refractory AF during pregnancy in the literature.

Defibrillation and cardioversion [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 2001
Going back to the ‘archaic past and to obsolete ancestors’ [1] provides insight not only where we came from but where we might be heading. Indeed history matters in medicine as it does in everyday life. It is now 40 years since the introduction of DC defibrillation and cardioversion [2,3].
