SUCCESS OF ELECTIVE CARDIOVERSION IN PERSISTENT ATRIAL FIBRILLATION PATIENTS WITH OR WITHOUT DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION AS ASSESSED BY LEFT ATRIAL VOLUME INDEX

Pakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal, 2019
Objective: To compare the success of elective electro-cardioversion of persistent AF patients presented with or without diastolic dysfunction as assessed by left atrial volume index (LAVI); and to compare the relationship between recurrence of AF after ...

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.

Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.

MAX-SHOCK: A Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Biphasic Defibrillators Used in Routine Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation

CJC Open
Atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently requires rhythm control with electrical cardioversion, with approximately 10%-20% of patients undergoing electrical cardioversion annually. Despite its widespread use, cardioversion failure remains common, and clinical

A new approach to an old disease: Ageing, arrhythmogenic substrate and the role of risk‐factor modification in atrial fibrillation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) prevalence rises sharply with age due to two independent mechanisms. Ageing produces irreversible arrhythmogenic substrate changes through progressive fibrosis, cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction, while modifiable risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, sleep apnoea, diabetes and alcohol use promote ...

Electrical defibrillation and cardioversion [PDF]

, 2005
Defibrillation and cardioversion are techniques in which a short electric impulse is administered to the heart in order to restore its normal rhythm. During cardioversion electric impulse is synchronized to the QRS on electrocardiogram.

Influence of Pre-Electrical Cardioversion Potassium Test Timing on Ventricular Arrhythmic Complications and Success Rates [PDF]

Objectives: Elective electrical cardioversion (ECV) is frequently used for supraventricular tachycardia therapy. However, the success rate of this approach varies, and ventricular arrhythmias may develop as a consequence.

Anterior-Posterior versus anterior-lateral electrodes position for electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2022
Background: The optimal electrodes position for elective direct current (DC) cardioversion of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) remains uncertain.

Computational model of haemodynamics during atrial fibrillation

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We developed a simplified computational model that replicates patient‐specific haemodynamics during both normal sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation (AF). Our computational model comprises: (1) an electrical subsystem that generates unco‐ordinated atrial and irregular ventricular activation times characteristic of AF and (2) a ...

Changes in oral anticoagulation for elective cardioversion: results from a European cardioversion registry. [PDF]

, 2017
Aims: In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) pharmacological or electrical cardioversion may be performed to restore sinus rhythm. The procedure is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events, which can be significantly reduced by ...
