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

Digitalis for treatment of heart failure in patients in sinus rhythm. [PDF]

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2014
BACKGROUND Digitalis glycosides have been in clinical use for the treatment of heart failure (HF) for longer than 200 years. In recent years, several trials have been conducted to address concerns about their efficacy and toxicity.

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.

How sex affects the sinus rhythm heartbeat [PDF]

IJC Heart & Vasculature, 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).

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.

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 ...
