Esophageal Electrical Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation: When Esophagus Gives a Help to Cardiologists

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2011
Atrial fibrillation is a common clinical disease especially in the elderly and in patients with organic heart disease. Electrical cardioversion is the first choice therapeutic approach for patients in which sinus rhythm could improve the quality of life

Interplay of Probe Stability and Oscillation During Very‐High‐Power Short‐Duration Ablation in Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract presents a comprehensive analysis of probe stability and oscillation during very high‐power short‐duration (vHPSD) pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation. The findings indicate that oscillation velocity serves as a more reliable predictor of impedance drop and temperature changes than contact force alone ...

Chronic beta-adrenoceptor blockade and human atrial cell electrophysiology: evidence of pharmacological remodelling [PDF]

, 2003
<b>Objective:</b> Chronic beta-adrenoceptor antagonist (β-blocker) treatment reduces the incidence of reversion to AF in patients, possibly via an adaptive myocardial response.

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.

Impact of Additional Transthoracic Electrical Cardioversion on Cardiac Function and Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence in Patients with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Who Underwent Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2016
Backgrounds and Objective. During the procession of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), transthoracic electrical cardioversion (ECV) is required to terminate AF.

Management of atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 1997
Atrial fibrillation is the most commonly encountered sustained arrhythmia. The spectrum of symptomatology and presentation are broad. The goals of treatment should include (1) identification of any underlying cause(s) and/or precipitating factor(s), (2 ...

An integrated platform for 2‐D and 3‐D optical and electrical mapping of arrhythmias in Langendorff‐perfused rabbit hearts

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Integrated multimodal platform for panoramic cardiac mapping in isolated heart experiments. On the left, an image of the experimental setup during data acquisition showing a Langendorff‐perfused rabbit heart surrounded by three optical cameras (CAM A, B and C) positioned 120° apart, each coupled with high‐power LEDs for panoramic

Prediction of sinus rhythm maintenance following DC-cardioversion of persistent atrial fibrillation – the role of atrial cycle length

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2006
Background Atrial electrical remodeling has been shown to influence the outcome the outcome following cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (AF) in experimental studies. The aim of the present study was to find out whether a non-invasively measured atrial

Anticoagulation Control in Warfarin-Treated Patients Undergoing Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation (from the Edoxaban Versus Enoxaparin-Warfarin in Patients Undergoing Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation Trial). [PDF]

, 2017
In the Edoxaban Versus Enoxaparin-Warfarin in Patients Undergoing Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation (ENSURE-AF) study (NCT 02072434), edoxaban was compared with enoxaparin-warfarin in 2,199 patients undergoing electrical cardioversion of nonvalvular ...

Titrated electrical cardioversion in patients on digoxin [PDF]

Clinical Cardiology, 1982
AbstractElectrical cardioversion therapy in patients on digitalis maintenance who develop arrhythmias is still controversial. Our study reports a highly successful treatment rate using cardioversion therapy in 50 patients.
