Which antiarrhythmic drug to choose after electrical cardioversion: A study on non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients. [PDF]
The relative efficacy of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) after electrical cardioversion are not well established. This study aimed to investigate the efficacies of different AADs for maintaining sinus rhythm (SR) after electrical cardioversion for atrial ...

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

Electrocardiographic Predictors of Early Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation After Electrical Cardioversion. [PDF]
A simple ECG composite score predicts early AF recurrence after electrical cardioversion and may help guide rhythm‐control strategies. ABSTRACT Background Although electrical cardioversion (ECV) effectively restores sinus rhythm in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), early recurrence after successful ECV remains common in clinical ...

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