The Risk of Thromboembolic Complications in Fontan Patients with Atrial Flutter/fibrillation Treated with Electrical Cardioversion [PDF]

, 2016
Atrial flutter or fibrillation (AFF) remains a major chronic complication of the Fontan procedure. This complication further predisposes this patient population to thromboembolic events.

[Electrical defibrillation and cardioversion].

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2006
Defibrillation and cardioversion are techniques in which a short electric impulse is administered to the heart in order to restore its normal rhythm. During cardioversion electric impulse is synchronized to the QRS on electrocardiogram. During defibrillation electric current passes through the heart in any phase of electric heart cycle.

CHA2DS2-VASc in the prediction of early atrial fibrillation relapses after electrical or pharmacological cardioversion

, 2014
BACKGROUND: In hemodynamically stable patients, mortality and morbidity related to atrial fibrillation are mainly due to cardioembolic disorder. No difference in the survival rate and incidence of embolic events has been described in patients undergoing ...

Early Recurrences of Atrial Fibrillation After Electrical Cardioversion: A Result of Fibrillation-Induced Electrical Remodeling of the Atria? [PDF]

, 1998
Objectives. We sought to investigate whether, in humans, the timing and incidence of a relapse of atrial fibrillation (AF) during the first month after cardioversion indicates the presence of electrical remodeling and whether this could be influenced by ...

Effect of sinus rhythm restoration on markers of thrombin generation in atrial fibrillation

Thrombosis Journal, 2017
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) confers a hypercoagulable state; however, it is not clear whether restoration of sinus rhythm is associated with normalisation of markers of thrombogenesis.

Electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation in a case of dextrocardia

, 2004
Although atrial fibrillation is one of the most frequent and widespread cardiac arrhythmias, there is not sufficient data on frequency and electrical cardioversion of this arrhythmia in cases of dextrocardia.
