Atrial Fibrillation With Rapid Ventricular Response in Pregnancy

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2008
Objective: To report a case of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response occurring during pregnancy. Case Report: A 35-year-old woman, gravida 3, para 1, abortus 1, with a history of persistent supraventricular arrhythmia, presented at 22 weeks'

Two distinct Do-Not-Resuscitate protocols leaving less to the imagination: an observational study using propensity score matching [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) patients tend to receive less medical care after the order is written. To provide a clearer approach, the Ohio Department of Health adopted the Do-Not-Resuscitate law in 1998, indicating two distinct protocols of DNR ...

Improved brain perfusion after electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation.

Europace, 2019
AIMS Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been associated with reduced brain volume, cognitive impairment, and reduced cerebral blood flow. The causes of reduced cerebral blood flow in AF are unknown, but no reduction was seen in individuals without the ...

Electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation and flutter [PDF]

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2005
Atrial fibrillation increases stroke risk and adversely affects cardiovascular haemodynamics. Electrical cardioversion may, by restoring sinus rhythm, improve cardiovascular haemodynamics, reduce the risk of stroke, and obviate the need for long-term anticoagulation.To assess the effects of electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation or flutter on ...

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

Safety and Efficacy of Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Patients

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) was evaluated in 479 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), 52% paroxysmal. Among 104 patients > 75 years, complication rates and 6‐ and 12‐month arrhythmia‐free survival were not significantly different from younger patients. Age did not predict recurrence. PFA appears safe and effective in elderly AF patients.

Diagnosis and Management of Left Atrium Appendage Thrombosis in Atrial Fibrillation Patients Undergoing Cardioversion

Medicina, 2019
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with an increased risk of stroke and thromboembolic complications. A rhythm control strategy with both electrical and pharmacological cardioversion is recommended for patients ...

A cost minimisation analysis of NOACs compared to warfarin to attain therapeutic anticoagulation amongst AF patients, pre- and post-cardioversion [PDF]

, 2018
Atrial fibrillation can be managed with anticoagulation and restoration of normal sinus rhythm using direct current cardioversion (DCCV). To reduce the risk of thromboembolism anticoagulation pre-and-post DCCV is recommended.

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 ...
