Predictors and Outcomes of Pharmacological and Electrical Cardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter in an Indian Emergency Department: A Retrospective Study [PDF]

Journal of Arrhythmia
Background Cardioversion is widely used to restore sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL), yet real‐world outcomes and predictors of success remain underexplored in populations with high rheumatic disease burden. The aim was to

Electrical cardioversion. [PDF]

Annals of Saudi Medicine, 2009
External electrical cardioversion was first performed in the 1950s. Urgent or elective cardioversions have specific advantages, such as termination of atrial and ventricular tachycardia and recovery of sinus rhythm.

Thromboembolic risk of electrical cardioversion in patients with cardiogenic shock [PDF]

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature
Background: Cardiogenic shock patients with atrial fibrillation or flutter often require acute cardioversion despite absence of sufficient anticoagulation or the possibility to rule out left atrial appendage thrombus.

Dysfunctional Implantable Loop Recorder Post‐Electrical Cardioversion: A Report of Two Cases [PDF]

Clinical Case Reports
We report two occurrences of implantable loop recorder (ILR) dysfunction following electrical cardioversion, likely due to anterior–posterior patch positioning.

MR-proANP, sST2, BNP and sinus rhythm maintenance 1 year after electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation [PDF]

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Background We assessed the ability of MR-proANP, sST2 and BNP to predict maintenance of sinus rhythm at one year after successful electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation.

Automatically optimized vectorcardiographic features are associated with recurrence of atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Electrical cardioversion presents one of the treatment options for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the early recurrence rate is high, reaching ~40% three months after the procedure.

Role for machine learning in sex-specific prediction of successful electrical cardioversion in atrial fibrillation?

Open Heart, 2020
Objective Electrical cardioversion is frequently performed to restore sinus rhythm in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). However, AF recurs in many patients and identifying the patients who benefit from electrical cardioversion is ...
