Rationale and current perspective for early rhythm control therapy in atrial fibrillation [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2011
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia and an important source for mortality and morbidity on a population level. Despite the clear association between AF and death, stroke, and other cardiovascular events, there is no evidence ...

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

High beat-to-beat blood pressure variability in atrial fibrillation compared to sinus rhythm

Blood Pressure, 2018
Purpose: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, not entirely explained by thromboembolism. The underlying mechanisms for this association are largely unknown.

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 ...

Attaining sinus rhythm mediates improved outcome with early rhythm control therapy of atrial fibrillation: the EAST-AFNET 4 trial

European Heart Journal, 2022
Aims A strategy of systematic, early rhythm control (ERC) improves cardiovascular outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). It is not known how this outcome-reducing effect is mediated.
