Role of clonidine in perioperative acute atrial fibrillation

Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2011
We report a case of acute onset atrial fibrillation (AF) that presented for emergency surgery where rate control and sinus rhythm were successfully achieved using clonidine. Patient had acute AF with high blood pressure. Metoprolol failed to decrease the

Recent advances in rhythm control for atrial fibrillation [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2017
Atrial fibrillation (AF) remains a difficult management problem. The restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm—rhythm control therapy—can markedly improve symptoms and haemodynamics for patients who have paroxysmal or persistent AF, but some patients ...

Delayed sinus rhythm restoration after thoracoscopic left atrium fragmentation (а report of two cases) [PDF]

Клиническая практика, 2020
The article presents two clinical cases of delayed restoration of the sinus rhythm in patients with long-term persistent atrial fibrillation after the procedure of thoracoscopic radiofrequency fragmentation of the left atrium. The necessity of continuing

Altered excitation-contraction coupling in human chronic atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2012
This review focuses on the (mal)adaptive processes in atrial excitation-contraction coupling occurring in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation. Cellular remodeling includes shortening of the atrial action potential duration and effective refractory ...

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.

An Aggressive Strategy for Maintenance of Sinus Rhythm Including a Combination of Catheter Ablation and Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy Benefits Patients with Chronic Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2009
The effects of restoration and maintenance of sinus rhythm by a combination of catheter ablation and antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) on atrial function in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) remain unknown. In 15 patients with chronic AF (>1 year),
