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

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

Continuous positive airway pressure therapy converted atrial fibrillation in a patient with obstructive sleep apnea [PDF]

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2014
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the possible causes of atrial fibrillation (AF). Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy may lower the recurrence rate of AF after cardioversion to normal sinus rhythm. We report a case of AF

How sex affects the sinus rhythm heartbeat. [PDF]

Int J Cardiol Heart Vasc, 2023
There is increasing awareness of sex-specific differences in epidemiology and pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation (AF). It is, however, unknown whether males and females differ in atrial electrophysiological properties during sinus rhythm (SR).

Instantly Converting Atrial Fibrillation into Sinus Rhythm by a Digital Rectal Exam on a 29-year-Old Male [PDF]

Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports, 2010
Vagal maneuvers cause increase in vagal tone, which has been shown to slow many types supraventricular tachycardia, such as atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the conversion of AF to sinus rhythm is usually not associated with vagal manuvers. Thus, AF is

Thromboembolic trapping and anticoagulation dilemma in a patient with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction in sinus rhythm: A case report [PDF]

Radiology Case Reports
Severe left ventricular dysfunction and ventricular wall motion abnormalities predispose individuals to thrombosis and thromboembolism. Thromboembolism is one of the main causes of increased mortality in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection ...

Patient-Specific Heart Model Towards Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

ICCPS 2021: Proceedings of the ACM/IEEE 12th International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems, 2022
Atrial fibrillation is a heart rhythm disorder that affects tens of millions people worldwide. The most effective treatment is catheter ablation. This involves irreversible heating of abnormal cardiac tissue facilitated by electroanatomical mapping.

Absent fourth heart sound as a marker of adverse events in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with sinus rhythm

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2022
Background Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in sinus rhythm commonly show the fourth heart sound (S4). The lack of S4 may be a marker of impaired atrial function in HCM patients with sinus rhythm.

Atrial fibrillation, electroconvulsive therapy, stroke risk, and anticoagulation

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2023
Background Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a therapy used to treat refractory mental health conditions, ranging from depression to catatonia, and it has gained renewed prominence in practice and the literature of late.

Left atrial mechanical remodelling assessed as the velocity of left atrium appendage wall motion during atrial fibrillation is associated with maintenance of sinus rhythm after electrical cardioversion in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The velocity of left atrium appendage (LAA) wall motion during atrial fibrillation (AF) is a potential marker of mechanical remodelling. In this study, we investigated whether the velocity of LAA wall motion during AF predicted the success of electrical ...
