Analysis of haematological and biochemical blood parameters after electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation in dogs

Journal of Veterinary Research, 2018
Electrical cardioversion is a therapeutic procedure used to convert various types of arrhythmias back to sinus rhythm. It is used to restore the sinus rhythm in dogs with atrial fibrillation.

Dabigatran Etexilate in the course of Electrical Cardioversion in Patients with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Рациональная фармакотерапия в кардиологии, 2016
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac cause of systemic embolism and cardioembolic stroke. The risk of thromboembolic complications increases significantly when performing for electrical cardioversion.

Sedation with Midazolam for Electrical Cardioversion

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2007
Background: Electrical cardioversion (ECV) usually requires the assistance of the anesthesiology team. To avoid this dependence, previous studies have considered the use of sedation with benzodiazepines administered by cardiologists. We describe our experience with intravenous Midazolam during cardioversion.

Right atrial thrombus formation in a dog after successful electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2023
Right atrial masses in dogs are commonly diagnosed as malignant tumors. This report describes a dog with a right atrial mass that appeared after successful electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and resolved with antithrombotic treatment.

RHYTHM-AF: design of an international registry on cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and characteristics of participating centers [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation is a serious public health problem posing a considerable burden to not only patients, but the healthcare environment due to high rates of morbidity, mortality, and medical resource utilization. There are limited data on the

Vernakalant-facilitated electrical cardioversion: comparison of intravenous vernakalant and amiodarone for drug-enhanced electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation after failed electrical cardioversion [PDF]

Europace, 2015
Electrical cardioversion is one cornerstone for the rhythm control strategy of atrial fibrillation (AF), which is, however, hampered by immediate AF recurrence (IRAF) or failed electrical cardioversion (FECV). We aimed to investigate the potential role of vernakalant for facilitated electrical cardioversion in cardioversion-resistant AF.The subjects of
