Orlando, FL - Direct-current cardioversion of atrial flutter is more likely to achieve sinus rhythm with one shock and will use fewer joules if the cardioversion system delivers biphasic rather ...

Cardioversion, they said, may be complicated with thromboembolism. Therefore, they recommended anticoagulation to be considered in patients with atrial flutter who are candidates for cardioversion.

Atrial flutter, a similar arrhythmia, is much easier to ablate than atrial fibrillation; thus, we are more aggressive proceeding right to ablation for atrial flutter.

Ibutilide for pharmacological cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and flutter: impact of race on efficacy and safety. 2003;10:259-263. Clin Cardiol. 34.

Patients with recent-onset atrial fibrillation commonly undergo immediate restoration of sinus rhythm by pharmacologic or electrical cardioversion. However, whether immediate restoration of sinus r ...

We conclude that infants with atrial flutter alone, following cardioversion, do not require chronic prophylaxis.

Use of catheter ablation is not only beneficial for treating atrial flutter but also can significantly reduce hospital visits – both inpatient and emergency – and lower the risk for atrial ...

Pulsed field ablation did not have superior efficacy to radiofrequency ablation in patients with drug-resistant paroxysmal ...

Find out how cardioversion restores normal heart rhythms in patients with atrial fibrillation. Understand the procedure, its benefits, and what to expect during recovery.

Endurance athletes may be at increased risk for lone atrial fibrillation. 1–5 We describe a middle-aged physician athlete with paroxysmal lone atrial fibrillation in whom cardioversion ...

Therefore, antazoline may be a viable option for pharmacological cardioversion of recent-onset atrial fibrillation in elderly patients in the emergency setting if other fast-acting agents are ...

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common endocrine form of hypertension and may carry an increased risk of atrial flutter or fibrillation (AFF). The primary goal of this multicentre cohort ...
