Pharmacological Therapy for Fibrillations

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2007
Human beings suffer from two different kinds of fibrillations: one is atrial fibrillation (AF) and the other is ventricular fibrillation (VF). AF is the most common sustained arrhythmia and VF is the most serious.

Bachmann's Bundle‐Related Atrial Tachycardias Following Catheter Ablation of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Atrial tachycardias (AT) after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) may utilize Bachmann's bundle (BB). Due to their epicardial location, these ATs remain poorly understood. Objective To describe the electrophysiologic and anatomic basis of BB‐related ATs.

Effect of sotalol on heart rate, QT interval, and atrial fibrillation cycle length in horses with atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Based on its pharmacokinetic profile and electrophysiological effects in healthy horses, sotalol potentially could be used as a long-term PO antiarrhythmic drug in horses.

Inflammatory and Myocardial Biomarker Response Following Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Cryoballoon Versus Balloon‐in‐Basket Pulsed Field Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cryoballoon ablation (CB) is a well‐established thermal technique for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), while balloon‐in‐basket pulsed field ablation (BiB‐PFA) represents a novel non‐thermal alternative. Both single‐shot systems may trigger systemic inflammation and myocardial injury, yet direct comparisons are lacking.

Cardioversion Efficacy Using Pulsed Biphasic or Biphasic Truncated Exponential Waveforms: A Randomized Clinical Trial

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.

Early Risk of Stroke in Patients Undergoing Acute Versus Elective Cardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Electrical cardioversion (ECV) is routinely used to restore sinus rhythm in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation. The European guidelines have been updated in recent years.

Non-valvular atrial fibrillation and stroke : implications for management [PDF]

, 1995
Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation is more prevalent with increasing age. It is associated with a six-fold excess risk of stroke; and a cumulative lifetime stroke risk of 35%. 15% of ischaemic strokes are directly attributable to it.

Acute Efficacy of Pulsed‐Field Ablation of the Mitral Isthmus Using a Pentaspline Catheter and Two Different Ablation Settings

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction There is limited data regarding the use of pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) for mitral isthmus (MI) ablation in patients with non‐paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Our aim was to assess the acute efficacy of MI ablation using a pentaspline PFA catheter with two different ablation settings.

Averaged Impedance Drop Estimates Conduction Gap During Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background EnSite X provides a module to filter oscillated generator impedance signals due to cardiac beating/respiration (averaged impedance drop, AID). TactiFlex ablation catheter Sensor Enabled (TFSE) is the latest product to incorporate a contact‐force sensor with a flexible tip but without lesion‐estimating parameters.

Efficacy and safety of ablation for people with non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. [PDF]

, 2016
: The optimal rhythm management strategy for people with non-paroxysmal (persistent or long-standing persistent) atrial fibrilation is currently not well defined. Antiarrhythmic drugs have been the mainstay of therapy.
