Atrial fibrillation impairs the diagnostic performance of cardiac natriuretic peptides in dyspneic patients. results from the BACH Study (Biomarkers in ACute Heart Failure) [PDF]

, 2013
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on the performance of mid-region amino terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP) in comparison with the B-type peptides (BNP and NT-proBNP) for diagnosis

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.

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

Usefulness of transesophageal echocardiography before cardioversion in atrial arrhythmias

Cardiology Journal, 2021
BACKGROUND: Although many thromboembolism risk factors are well defined, formation of thrombus or dense spontaneous contrast (sludge) in the left atrium remains enigmatic and confounding.

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 ...

Postoperative Weight Gain, Due to Fluid Retention After Ovarian Cancer Surgery—How Much Is too Much?

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Postoperative complications after cytoreductive surgery in ovarian cancer patients are associated with impaired survival. Here, we investigated the association between postoperative weight gain due to fluid retention and the development of complications and anastomotic leakage (AL).

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 ...
