Questions about the safety of vernakalant remain The incidence of atrial fibrillation has increased globally, in part because of modifiable risk factors.1 Acute atrial fibrillation, especially at a ...

Cardioversion restores a normal heartbeat in patients with arrhythmias, heartbeats that are too fast or irregular. Doctors use one of two methods for restoring normal heartbeat: medication or electric ...

A first-of-its-kind clinical trial finds that moderate coffee consumption may actually protect the heart, reducing AF ...

A cup of coffee a day did not worsen atrial fibrillation (AF) in adults recovering from electrical cardioversion, and it may even lower the likelihood of recurrent arrhythmia, according to new ...

A recent clinical trial demonstrated that consumption of caffeinated coffee averaging one cup a day was associated with less ...

Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent cardioversion compared with those who did not have cardioverson in a large dataset of patients with recent onset non-valvular ...

Antazoline mesylate represents an antihistamine capable of rapid and safe cardioversion of atrial fibrillation, yet evidence concerning its efficacy in comparison to other medications is insufficient.

ANKARA, TURKEY — A strategy that takes advantage of the C in ICD (implantable cardioverter defibrillator), in which the device delivers a shock aimed at restoring sinus rhythm in patients with atrial ...

Cardioversion is a treatment for a relatively common heart condition called atrial fibrillation. Through this procedure, an abnormally fast or slow heart rate is converted to a normal rhythm with the ...

AIM To define the effect of defibrillator paddle position on technical success and dc shock energy requirements of external cardioversion of atrial fibrillation. METHODS 301 patients (mean (SD) age 62 ...

Background Cardioversion is common among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We hypothesised that novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) used in clinical practice resulted in similar rates of stroke ...
