Simulation of overdrive pacing in 2D phenomenological models of anisotropic myocardium [PDF]
, 2017 Spiral waves in the heart underlie dangerous cardiac arrhythmias such as fibrillation. Low-voltage defibrillation and cardioversion are modern methods to treat such pathologies. This type of electrotherapy is based on the phenomenon of superseding spiral

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 4, April 2026.Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) were associated With lower rates of cerebrovascular ischemic events and major bleeding compared With Vitamin K antagonists in non‐valvular atrial fibrillation, With similar mortality. These findings support DOACs as the preferred anticoagulant strategy for stroke prevention in contemporary clinical practice.

Predictors of success of electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation
CorSalud, 2016 Introduction: Electrical cardioversion is an effective therapeutic procedure to restore sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation, and its success has been related to different variables.

Kuwait Atrial Fibrillation Management Analysis—Insights From a Tertiary Center in Kuwait
Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.Among patients with non‐valvular AF, rhythm control (RC) was pursued in 28.9%. RC was pursued for younger patients and those followed in electrophysiology clinics (33% vs. 5%, p < 0.001). 11.6% of patients received an underdosed DOAC. RC was underutilized in our study, falling short of international benchmarks and guideline recommendations.

Effect of sinus rhythm restoration on markers of thrombin generation in atrial fibrillation
Thrombosis Journal, 2017 Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) confers a hypercoagulable state; however, it is not clear whether restoration of sinus rhythm is associated with normalisation of markers of thrombogenesis.

The Evolving Role of Ivabradine for Focal Atrial Tachycardia: A Systematic Review
Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.Overview of the evolving role of ivabradine in focal atrial tachycardia (FAT), highlighting its HCN‐mediated mechanism, features of ivabradine‐sensitive FAT, hypothesized predictors of response, special populations requiring special considerations, and potential adverse effects.

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.This two‐phase study demonstrates that a Contact Index impedance change of ≥ 10% reliably indicates adequate catheter contact during pulsed field ablation (PFA). Enforcing this threshold significantly reduced acute pulmonary vein gaps (PVGs) without prolonging procedure or fluoroscopy times.

Predictors of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence in Hyperthyroid and Euthyroid Patients
Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2016 Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in adults, and is encountered in 10-15% of the patients with hyperthyroidism. Unless euthyroidism is restored, pharmacological or electrical cardioversion is controversial in patients ...
