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.

Predictive Value of N-Terminal Pro B-Type Natriuretic Peptide for Short-Term Outcome of Cardioversion in Patients with First-Diagnosed or Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Presenting to the Emergency Department

Biomedicines
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia in the emergency department (ED). We investigated the role of N-terminal pro b-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in predicting both the outcome of AF cardioversion and the risk of AF ...

The Risk of Thromboembolic Complications in Fontan Patients with Atrial Flutter/fibrillation Treated with Electrical Cardioversion [PDF]

, 2016
Atrial flutter or fibrillation (AFF) remains a major chronic complication of the Fontan procedure. This complication further predisposes this patient population to thromboembolic events.

Pharmacological inhibition of hydroxysteroid 11‐beta dehydrogenase type 1 (11‐βHSD1) after myocardial infarction preserves cardiac function in a translational mini‐pig model

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Plasma glucocorticoids increase acutely after MI, thereafter tissue levels are amplified selectively within cells expressing 11‐ßhydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11‐ßHSD1) that regenerates active glucocorticoids from circulating metabolites.

Safety evaluation of electrical cardioversion in the presence left ventricular thrombus

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases
Background: Electrical cardioversion is an effective and safe procedure for most patients. While left atrial thrombus is an absolute contraindication for an elective cardioversion, there is limited data on cardioversion in patients with left ventricular ...
