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 ...

Effect of direct-current cardioversion on Ischemia-Modified Albumin levels in patients with atrial fibrillation

, 2004
Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), measured with the albumin cobalt binding test, is a marker of myocardial ischemia. We measured IMA concentrations after elective direct-current cardioversion for atrial fibrillation to determine whether transient ...

Transoesophageal echocardiography-guided cardioversion of atrial fibrillation or flutter. Selection of a low-risk group for immediate cardioversion

, 2000
AIMS: Despite exclusion of left atrial thrombi by transoesophageal echocardiography, cardioversion-related thromboembolism has been reported in atrial fibrillation or flutter. To define a low-risk group for cardioversion without previous anticoagulation,

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 ...
