Aside from patient factors, a number of factors may influence the immediate success of cardioversion, that is, a complete failure to cardiovert. These include electrode placement, shock polarity ...
One way to do this is through electrical cardioversion, an electrical shock that is delivered through your skin to convert your heart rhythm back to a normal rhythm. It is a safe treatment for ...
Objective To determine whether cardiac troponin T increases after electrical cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Design Serum creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-MB ...
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 ...
A new study published in the journal of Nature Scientific Reports revealed that lactate levels interfere with the electrical or mechanical cardioversion in critically sick atrial fibrillation (AF) ...
Treatment with ventilation assistance, amiodarone and furosemide was immediately started. Sinus rhythm return was successfully obtained by cardioversion practised after 4 days. Pulmonary valve ...

How Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Is TreatedA significant downside of electrical or chemical cardioversion is its risk of stroke from blood clots lodged in the atria. As such, cardioversion is typically delayed until a person has been ...
