Anticoagulation for heart failure in sinus rhythm

2000
Patients with chronic heart failure (heart failure) are at risk of thromboembolic events, including stroke, pulmonary embolism and peripheral arterial embolism, whilst coronary ischaemic events also contribute to the progression of heart failure. Long-term oral anticoagulation is established in certain groups, including patients with heart failure and ...

Does Sinus Rhythm Beget Sinus Rhythm?

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2004
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of early patient activated cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (AF) using the atrial defibrillator on recurrence of AF. Fifteen patients, mean age 63 ± 14 years, 80% men, with drug‐resistant persistent AF were implanted with the Jewel AF atrial defibrillator.

Superior Vena Cava Rhythm Masquerading as Normal Sinus Rhythm

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2004
We report the case of a patient with persistent cardiac rhythm originating from the superior vena cava (3 cm above the vena cava‐atrial junction). It was detected by noncontact balloon mapping before induction of tachycardia and confirmed by conventional contact mapping with image studies.

Morphology of the region of the coronary sinus in respect to coronary sinus rhythm

International Journal of Cardiology, 1990
The arterial supply to the region of the coronary sinus and the interatrial septum was examined in 18 normal canine hearts. In 13 of a further 18 dogs, coronary sinus rhythm was evoked by the ligation of atrial arteries, subsequent to which the arteries were visualized by injection of latex.

Antiarrhythmic efficacy of azimilide in patients with atrial fibrillation. Maintenance of sinus rhythm after conversion to sinus rhythm

American Heart Journal, 2006
Azimilide dihydrochloride (azimilide) is an investigational antiarrhythmic drug that has been tested in patients with a variety of arrhythmias. In patients with atrial fibrillation, it has shown excellent efficacy in some previous trials and minimal efficacy in others.Patients who had symptomatic atrial fibrillation for > 48 hours but < 6 months were ...

Importance of Sinus Rhythm as Endpoint of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2013
Endpoint of Persistent AF Ablation. Background: The endpoint of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is still a matter of debate. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if sinus rhythm (SR) as endpoint of persistent AF ablation has a better ...

Sinus rhythm with isolated pulmonary vein fibrillation

Heart, 2010
A 47-year-old man was referred for pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. During catheter ablation to encircle the left superior pulmonary vein, application of radiofrequency energy was applied to the roof of the vein restoring sinus …

Left Atrial Deformation Parameters Predict Left Atrial Appendage Function and Thrombus in Patients in Sinus Rhythm with Suspected Cardioembolic Stroke: A Speckle Tracking and Transesophageal Echocardiography Study

Echocardiography, 2013
The aim of this study was to evaluate left atrial deformations using speckle tracking echocardiography for predicting left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombus in patients with suspected cardioembolic stroke who were in normal sinus rhythm.

Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Sinus Rhythm

Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2009
and the patient converted to sinus rhythm, as is seen in the CS electrograms (Figure 2). The PV maintained a fibrillatory rhythm that later regulated to atrial tachycardia, and ultimately disappeared spontaneously (Figure 3). Pulmonary vein ablation is currently the treatment of choice for paroxysmal AF resistant to medical treatment.

Prevalence of left chamber cardiac thrombi in patients with dilated left ventricle at sinus rhythm: The role of transesophageal echocardiography

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 2013
Left atrial appendage (LAA) may be a source of thrombi in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy at sinus rhythm. The objectives of our study were to assess the prevalence of intracardiac left chamber thrombus and/or spontaneous echo contrast and to ...
