Electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation
Cardiology Clinics, 2004External direct current cardioversion remains the most common and effective method for restoration of normal sinus rhythm in patients with persistent AF. The development of biphasic defibrillators allows for higher success rates of conversion using standard energy levels.

Electrical cardioversion after amiodarone administration
American Heart Journal, 1992The possible effect of amiodarone administration on the effectiveness and complications of electrical cardioversion of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias has not been properly assessed. To investigate the effects of amiodarone on cardioversion, we performed 130 electrical cardioversion procedures in 116 patients who were receiving long-term amiodarone ...

Electrical Interventions in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Cardioversion
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1983Although there are complications associated with cardioversion, they are relatively infrequent and usually of small magnitude compared with the primary disease. Cardioversion is an invaluable part of the emergency physician's armamentarium.

Electrical and Pharmacologic Cardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation
Medical Clinics of North America, 2008This article describes electrical and pharmacologic cardioversion for atrial fibrillation and discusses indications for cardioversion and management of pericardioversion anticoagulation. Finally, management strategies are offered for immediate recurrence of atrial fibrillation and cardioversion failure.

Ambulatory electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation
International Journal of Cardiology, 2006Elective electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation is an effective and safe cardiac procedure in selected patients. It is most often performed during a short hospital stay or in an outpatient setting of a hospital. In a retrospective analysis, we report our experience on electrical cardioversions in private practice without a hospital stand-by ...

An Update on Electrical Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation
Cardiac Electrophysiology Review, 2003Atrial fibrillation is the most frequently encountered sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice. Electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation using damped sine wave shocks has been a mainstay of therapy for nearly 4 decades; its limitation remains a failure rate that approaches 20%.

Electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation and flutter
2002Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke, increases the risk of cognitive impairment, and adversely affects cardiovascular haemodynamics. Electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation has been in use since the 1960s; the rationale is that restoration of sinus rhythm improves cardiovascular haemodynamics, reduces the risk of stroke, and ...

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2012
Background: Occasionally atrial fibrillation (AF) is resistant to electrical cardioversion (EC). Ranolazine (RZ) is an antianginal agent, which inhibits abnormal late Na+ channel currents in cardiomyocytes and decreases Na+/Ca++ overload.
