Prompt electrical cardioversion was performed if AF or AFL was confirmed and sustained, using a standard approach with the aim of performing cardioversion within 24 h of arrhythmia onset.

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

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 ...

Another DC cardioversion and radiofrequency ablation of the right-atrial isthmus successfully treated atrial flutter. Sinus rhythm was maintained 2 months later, and amiodarone was stopped.

Although some evidence suggests external cardioversion might be detrimental in patients in atrial fibrillation, subgroups such as those with advanced heart failure might achieve lasting sinus ...

Patients were assigned pharmacological cardioversion with IV procainamide followed by electrical cardioversion if necessary (n = 204; mean age, 60 years; 66% men) or placebo infusion with ...
