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].

Racial and Sex Disparities in Anticoagulation After Electrical Cardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Anticoagulation is indicated for 4 weeks after cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation/flutter. We sought to examine whether there is evidence of sex or racial disparity in anticoagulant prescription following cardioversion, and ...

The incidence of left atrial appendage thrombi on transesophageal echocardiography after pretreatment with apixaban for cardioversion in the real-world practice.

PLoS ONE, 2018
The risk of thromboembolisms during the post-cardioversion period is high. For patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), anticoagulation with warfarin (INR 2.0~3.0) is recommended for at least three weeks prior and four weeks after cardioversion.

Impact of electric cardioversion on platelet activation.

PLoS ONE, 2021
IntroductionAtrial fibrillation (AF) comes along with high risk of stroke. This risk continues even after re-establishing sinus rhythm with cardioversion.

Electrogenic Cardioversion

Cardiology Research, 2014
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice. Cardioversion for AF may be performed by either using direct current (DC) shock (electrical cardioversion) or using drugs (chemical cardioversion). Here we report a case of a patient with heart failure and AF, who reverted to the normal sinus rhythm on correction of ...

Anterior-Posterior versus anterior-lateral electrodes position for electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2022
Background: The optimal electrodes position for elective direct current (DC) cardioversion of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains uncertain.

Analysis of haematological and biochemical blood parameters after electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation in dogs

Journal of Veterinary Research, 2018
Electrical cardioversion is a therapeutic procedure used to convert various types of arrhythmias back to sinus rhythm. It is used to restore the sinus rhythm in dogs with atrial fibrillation.

Left Atrial Thrombosis before Catheter Ablation or Cardioversion in Patients with Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation or Atrial Flutter: what Risk Score is Most Informative?

Рациональная фармакотерапия в кардиологии, 2023
Aim. To compare different scores in assessment of risk of left atrial or its appendage thrombosis (LAAT) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (AFL) undergoing transesophageal echocardiography before catheter ablation ...

Novel scale for predicting thrombosis of the left atrium and its appendage before catheter ablation or cardioversion in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter

Кардиоваскулярная терапия и профилактика, 2023
Aim. To study the potential of predicting thrombosis of the left atrium (LA) and/or LA appendage (LAA) before catheter ablation (CA) or elective cardioversion in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NAF) or atrial flutter (AFL) using indicators
