Comparison of monophasic and biphasic shocks for transthoracic cardioversion of atrial fibrillation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation between monophasic damped sine waveform and rectilinear biphasic waveform shocks at a high initial energy level and with a conventional paddle ...

The significance of the left atrial volume index in prediction of atrial fibrillation recurrence after electrical cardioversion

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2017
Introduction: Electrical cardioversion (ECV) is a safe method for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. It seems that left atrial volume index (LAVI) could be a good marker in predicting the success of ECV.

Value of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein assays in predicting atrial fibrillation recurrence: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Objectives: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) assays to see whether these tests are predictive of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after cardioversion.

How To Follow Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Patients? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Catheter ablation is an established treatment option for symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), with circumferential pulmonary vein isolation being considered the cornerstone of the procedure.

Systolic blood pressure increases in patients with atrial fibrillation regaining sinus rhythm after electrical cardioversion

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2019
Direct current (DC) cardioversion is used to convert persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) to sinus rhythm (SR), but there is limited knowledge about how blood pressure (BP) is affected by conversion to SR.

Atrial fibrillation impairs the diagnostic performance of cardiac natriuretic peptides in dyspneic patients. results from the BACH Study (Biomarkers in ACute Heart Failure) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on the performance of mid-region amino terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP) in comparison with the B-type peptides (BNP and NT-proBNP) for diagnosis
