Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017 Background Several different defibrillators are currently used for cardioversion and defibrillation of cardiac arrhythmias. The efficacy of a novel pulsed biphasic (PB) waveform has not been compared to other biphasic waveforms.

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.Summary of the change in left ventricular systolic and diastolic parameters from baseline to 12 months in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%. P‐values indicate the significance of the adjusted mean difference of the parameters at 12 months between the beta‐blocker and digoxin arm. E/e′,

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.The patient with SMR: From diagnostic assessment to treatment. Secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) is highly prevalent in patients with heart failure (HF), associated with poor prognosis, and its treatment is typically preceded by implementing pharmacotherapy for HF as well as cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Rhythm control and cardioversion [PDF]
Heart, 2007 The three main aims of treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation are: (1) to suppress paroxysms of atrial fibrillation and maintain long-term sinus rhythm; (2) to control heart rate during paroxysms of atrial fibrillation if they occur; and (3) to prevent the complications associated with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation—that is, stroke and ...

Medicina, 2019 Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with an increased risk of stroke and thromboembolic complications. A rhythm control strategy with both electrical and pharmacological cardioversion is recommended for patients ...

Safety of Monopolar Electrocautery Use in Patients With Implanted Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulators
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This study evaluated the effect of Monopolar electrocautery (MPE) on the functionality of hypoglossal nerve stimulators (HGNS) implants. A total of 85 patients who had undergone additional surgeries after their HGNS implant were included and analyzes compared outcomes between those who underwent surgeries involving MPE and those who's surgeries did not

Serious outcomes among emergency department patients with presyncope: A systematic review
Academic Emergency Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Background Syncope is transient loss of consciousness, and in presyncope, patients experience same prodromal symptoms without losing consciousness. While studies have extensively reported the risk of serious outcome among emergency department (ED) syncope, the outcome for patients with presyncope and their management are not well studied.

Electrocardiographic predictors of early recurrence of atrial fibrillation
Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2021 Background Electrical cardioversion (ECV) is an effective method for restoring sinus rhythm after atrial fibrillation (AF). However, early recurrence of AF occurs in a significant number of patients after ECV.
