Vernakalant and electrical cardioversion for AF – Safe and effective

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2019
Aims: Rapid restoration of sinus rhythm is an integral part of the management of recent-onset atrial fibrillation. We aimed to assess safety and efficacy of vernakalant, a multi-channel blocking agent, in combination with external electrical ...

Electrical Cardioversion for Wide Complex Tachycardia [PDF]

Cureus, 2019
We present a case of electrical cardioversion used to treat a hemodynamically unstable wide complex tachycardia (WCT). The patient returned to normal sinus rhythm after being cardioverted with 100 joules (J) on the first attempt. He was admitted to the hospital for cardiac evaluation and ultimately discharged home on flecainide and nebivolol after a ...

Influence of Pre-Electrical Cardioversion Potassium Test Timing on Ventricular Arrhythmic Complications and Success Rates [PDF]

Objectives: Elective electrical cardioversion (ECV) is frequently used for supraventricular tachycardia therapy. However, the success rate of this approach varies, and ventricular arrhythmias may develop as a consequence.

Immediate reinitiation of atrial fibrillation after electrical cardioversion predicts subsequent pharmacologic and electrical conversion to sinus rhythm on Amiodarone

, 2000
Ninety-one percent of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) resisting electrical cardioversion because of immediate reinitiation of AF after the shock maintain long-term sinus rhythm with amiodarone and repeat cardioversion. Thus, immediate reinitiation

Termination of Idiopathic Sustained Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia by Synchronized Electrical Cardioversion during Pregnancy [PDF]

Acute and Critical Care, 2018
The most common cardiac complications detected during pregnancy are an arrhythmia. However, idiopathic continuous monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) during pregnancy is unusual.

Management of Left Atrial Appendage Thrombi and Spontaneous Echo Contrast

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To analyze the efficacy and safety of various anticoagulation strategies/regimen used for managing thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast in the left atrial appendage. Methods Thrombus or spontaneous echo contrast in the left atrial appendage was detected via transesophageal echocardiography in 83 patients, most often during a stroke

Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.

Disappointing success of electrical cardioversion for new-onset atrial fibrillation in cardiosurgical ICU patients [PDF]

, 2015
OBJECTIVES: To assess the success of electrical cardioversion for the treatment of new-onset atrial fibrillation in critically ill patients and to evaluate the stability of sinus rhythm in responders during the subsequent 24 hours. DESIGN: Retrospective
