PHILADELPHIA -- For atrial fibrillation (Afib) patients with obesity, a second set of defibrillation pads for dual direct current cardioversion safely improved the success of the procedure, a ...
Sinus rhythm was restored in an effective, safe and rapid manner using drug-shock or shock-only strategies among patients in the ED with acute atrial fibrillation, according to results of the RAFF-2 ...
The drug-shock strategy was more effective for patients experiencing atrial fibrillation for the first time and for patients younger than 70 years, the researchers said. Both the anti-arrhythmia drug ...
Direct current cardioversion for symptomatic atrial fibrillation or flutter is feasible and safe in patients implanted with the Watchman left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion device, even in the ...
Researchers conducted a retrospective chart review of 78 patients with severe obesity (class III, BMI ≥ 35 to < 40 or class IV, BMI ≥ 40; mean BMI, 39.9; 51% men) who underwent direct current ...
Electrical cardioversion without routine extra anticoagulation around the procedure may be feasible for people who've already received left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion, according to a small ...
Hubner and colleagues in the UK have recently described a simplified cardioversion service that has significantly reduced waiting times at their center. They have introduced intravenous midazolam ...
Background: Several clinical factors have been studied to predict atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after electrical cardioversion (ECV) with limited predictive value. Methods: A method able to ...
