Frequency Analysis of Atrial Fibrillation From the Surface Electrocardiogram [PDF]

, 2004
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Neither the natural history of AF nor its response to therapy are sufficiently predictable by clinical and echocardiographic parameters.

Fibrin D-dimer, markers of coagulation activation and the risk of major ischaemic heart disease in the Caerphilly Study [PDF]

, 2001
We have previously reported that plasma fibrin D-dimer (a marker of turnover of cross-linked Fibrin) showed a strong and independent association with incident ischaemic heart disease (IHD) in the Caerphilly Study cohort of 1,998 men a-ed 49-65.

Pharmacological cardioversion for atrial fibrillation and flutter* [PDF]

, 2006
Atrial fibrillation is the commonest cardiac dysrhythmia. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. There are two approaches to the management of atrial fibrillation: controlling the ventricular rate or converting to sinus rhythm in ...

Cardioversion of atrial fibrillation does not affect obstructive sleep apnea

Upsala Journal of Medical Sciences, 2017
Background: Sleep apnea is common in patients with atrial fibrillation, but the effect of the cardioversion of atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm on central and obstructive apneas is mainly unknown.

Pharmacological Cardioversion With Antazoline in Atrial Fibrillation: The Results of the CANT Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background Antazoline mesylate represents an antihistamine capable of rapid and safe cardioversion of atrial fibrillation, yet evidence concerning its efficacy in comparison to other medications is insufficient.

A Large, Real‐World Cohort Analysis of Arrhythmia Detection and Therapeutic Interventions in Patients With Insertable Cardiac Monitors and Long‐Term Monitoring

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ICM arrhythmia detection and therapeutic interventions. ABSTRACT Background Insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) provide long‐term continuous monitoring for arrhythmia diagnosis and management for various clinical indications. However, little data exists on comprehensive real‐world arrhythmia diagnostic yield and therapy rates in patients indicated for ...
