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 ...

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.

Efficacy of an alternative positioning of intracardiac defibrillation catheters in atrial fibrillation ablation

Journal of Arrhythmia
Background In pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF), intraoperative defibrillation is often required. Intracardiac defibrillation catheters (ICDCs) are most effective when positioned to enclose the heart between the coronary sinus ...

Prospective in silico trials identify combined SK and K2P channel block as an effective strategy for atrial fibrillation cardioversion

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In silico trials were conducted in 654 virtual patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) to assess the cardioversion efficacy of three pharmacological treatments: single SK and K2P channel block and combined SK+K2P channel inhibition. Left: representative virtual AF patient with the atria inside the torso.

Left atrial size after cardioversion for atrial fibrillation: effect of external DC shock [PDF]

, 2003
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of external direct current (DC) shock on left atrial (LA) dimension and volumes after cardioversion for atrial fibrillation, and the relation between LA size and atrial function.

Computational modelling of the pro‐ and antiarrhythmic effects of atrial high rate‐dependent trafficking of small‐conductance calcium‐activated potassium channels

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Small‐conductance calcium‐activated potassium (SK) channels are important for atrial repolarization and can be targeted for atrial‐specific antiarrhythmic treatments. We developed a computational model with a calcium sensor to study the effects of increased pacing rate (5 Hz), which enhances SK‐channel gating and forward ...
