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

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

Efficacy and Safety of Bepridil for Patients with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation after Failed Electrical Cardioversion

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2011
Introduction: Bepridil is effective for atrial fibrillation (AF), but it can induce torsades de pointes. Thus we examined the efficacy and safety of bepridil when started at 100 mg/day for AF after failed electrical cardioversion (EC).
