Effect of sinus rhythm restoration on markers of thrombin generation in atrial fibrillation
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 [PDF]
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),

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
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.

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 ...

Automated classification of five arrhythmias and normal sinus rhythm based on RR interval signals
Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms that can be life-threatening. Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB), Atrial Flutter (AFL), Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT), Sinus Tachycardia (ST), and Sinus Bradycardia (SB) are common arrhythmias that affect a growing ...

THE PREDICTION OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION RECURRENCE AT VARIOUS METHODS OF SINUS RHYTHM RECOVERY
Aim. To estimate probability of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence at various methods of sinus rhythm recovery. Material and methods. Patients (n=153) with nonvalvular AF lasting from 24 hours to 6 months were examined.

Role of clonidine in perioperative acute atrial fibrillation
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]
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 ...
