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

Electrocardiographic predictors of early recurrence of atrial fibrillation
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.

Diazepam in cardioversion [PDF]
Ce travail decrit nos experiences au cours de 161 cardioversions par courant direct, dont 76 ont ete pratiquees sous anesthesie au diazepam seul et 85 sous anesthesie par divers agents. Generalement le premier choc etait de 100 watts seconde, et les suivants, si besoin, allaient en s’accroissant a partir de 100 watts seconde. Dans le groupe du diazepam,

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