Incidence and predictors of premature ventricular complexes following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and previous studies have focused on the epidemiology, mechanisms and risk factors for this global disease (Ryder and Benjamin 1999). Various studies have examined the mechanism,

Efficacy and safety of ablation for people with non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. [PDF]

, 2016
: The optimal rhythm management strategy for people with non-paroxysmal (persistent or long-standing persistent) atrial fibrilation is currently not well defined. Antiarrhythmic drugs have been the mainstay of therapy.

Amiodarone‐Induced Pulmonary Toxicity With Confirmed Elevated Plasma Mono‐Desethyl‐Amiodarone Levels

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
We report a case of pulmonary toxicity that developed 10 months after the initiation of amiodarone. The serum mono‐desethyl‐amiodarone concentration was elevated despite the relatively low cumulative amiodarone dose. ABSTRACT Amiodarone hydrochloride is an effective antiarrhythmic drug that can cause serious adverse effects, including amiodarone ...

Atrial and ventricular electrical and contractile remodelling and reverse remodelling due to chronic pacing-induced atrial fibrillation in horses : preliminary results [PDF]

, 2019
In humans, electrical and contractile reverse remodelling following restoration of sinus rhythm (SR) after a prolonged period of spontaneous atrial fibrillation (AF), requires several weeks. There is little known about this phenomenon in horses.

Left atrial size and function after spontaneous cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and their relation to N-terminal atrial natriuretic peptide [PDF]

, 2003
In conclusion, higher levels of N-ANP during AF were independently associated with spontaneous conversion, as well as with smaller LA volume.An inverse correlation existed between LA volume and N ...

Three Ventricular Assist Devices (True TriVAD) as Bridge to Durable Biventricular Support (BiVAD) in LVAD Patient With Severe Aortic Regurgitation

Artificial Organs, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 631-635, April 2026.
An LVAD patient with severe aortic regurgitation (AR) developed right heart failure and multi‐organ dysfunction (MOD). tRVAD support caused LV overload and pulmonary edema. Impella 5.5 implantation successfully unloaded the LV and stabilized the patient, enabling durable RVAD implantation with surgical aortic valve replacement.

Impact of Anaemia on Management and Outcomes in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Insights From European and Asian Cohorts

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 4, April 2026.
Anaemia in atrial fibrillation identifies an undertreated, high‐risk phenotype associated with increased mortality, cardiovascular events, and major bleeding across European and Asian cohorts. ABSTRACT Background Anaemia is a common comorbidity in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) receiving oral anticoagulants (OACs).

Self‐Administered Etripamil Nasal Spray Slows Ventricular Rate in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: A Post Hoc Analysis of the NODE‐303 Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 859-863, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Currently, there are no available fast‐acting agents to control the ventricular rate (VR) during atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes that can be self‐administered by patients on an as‐needed basis without medical supervision. Here, we aim to evaluate the effect of intranasal etripamil on VR in patients treating presumed paroxysmal ...

[Electrical defibrillation and cardioversion].

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2006
Defibrillation and cardioversion are techniques in which a short electric impulse is administered to the heart in order to restore its normal rhythm. During cardioversion electric impulse is synchronized to the QRS on electrocardiogram. During defibrillation electric current passes through the heart in any phase of electric heart cycle.

Baseline NT-Pro-BNP Levels and Arrhythmia Recurrence in Outpatients Undergoing Elective Cardioversion of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: A Survival Analysis

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2009
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Elective electrical cardioversion is often performed in patients with persistent AF to attempt sinus rhythm (SR) restoration. However, AF recurrences are
