Echocardiographic assessment of left atrial morphology and function to predict maintenance of sinus rhythm after electrical cardioversion in patients with non-valvular persistent atrial fibrillation and normal function or mild dysfunction of left ventricle.

Cardiology Journal, 2019
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess whether echocardiographic measurements of left atrial (LA) morphology and function could predict sinus rhythm maintenance after electrical cardioversion among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and ...

Outcomes With Pulsed Field Ablation Versus Conventional Thermal Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 5, October 2025.
Pulsed field ablation reduced atrial fibrillation recurrence and shortened procedure duration compared with conventional thermal ablation, with comparable safety outcomes. These findings support PFA as a promising alternative strategy for rhythm control in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

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.

Ultra‐Early Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation After Direct Cardioversion Predicts Late Recurrence After Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 5, October 2025.
Ultra‐early recurrence of AF (URAF) within 10 s after cardioversion predicted late recurrence after PVI in persistent AF. (OR: 4.8; 95% CI: 1.16–19.98; p = 0.029). URAF may represent a promising intraprocedural marker associated with postablation recurrence in persistent AF. ABSTRACT Background Although immediate recurrence of atrial fibrillation (IRAF)

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 ...

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 ...
