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,

[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

Pharmacological Therapy for Fibrillations

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2007
Human beings suffer from two different kinds of fibrillations: one is atrial fibrillation (AF) and the other is ventricular fibrillation (VF). AF is the most common sustained arrhythmia and VF is the most serious.

Safety evaluation of electrical cardioversion in the presence left ventricular thrombus

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases
Background: Electrical cardioversion is an effective and safe procedure for most patients. While left atrial thrombus is an absolute contraindication for an elective cardioversion, there is limited data on cardioversion in patients with left ventricular ...
