Direct oral anticoagulants for electrical cardioversion
The article discusses the issues of anticoagulant preparation for elective electrical cardioversion in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation. Updated preparation regimens for electrical cardioversion are proposed, as well as the potential of using

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

External cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and flutter in patients with cardiac implantable electrical devices [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation and flutter are often treated with external electrical cardioversion (ECV) in patients with potentially electrically sensitive cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIED).

Dysfunctional Implantable Loop Recorder Post‐Electrical Cardioversion: A Report of Two Cases [PDF]
We report two occurrences of implantable loop recorder (ILR) dysfunction following electrical cardioversion, likely due to anterior–posterior patch positioning.

MR-proANP, sST2, BNP and sinus rhythm maintenance 1 year after electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Background We assessed the ability of MR-proANP, sST2 and BNP to predict maintenance of sinus rhythm at one year after successful electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation.

Automatically optimized vectorcardiographic features are associated with recurrence of atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion [PDF]
Electrical cardioversion presents one of the treatment options for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the early recurrence rate is high, reaching ~40% three months after the procedure.

Atrial fibrillation: real-life experience of a rhythm control with electrical cardioversion in a community hospital [PDF]
Background Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia. Electrical cardioversion, a well-established part of the rhythm control strategy, is probably underused in community settings.
